I found your experiment very interesting personally because I use grey laundry water to water Irises. I have never known whether this was a good idea or not! You did a very thorough experiment. Congratulations for being chosen to compete in SARSEF
The experimental design is excellent with three complete trials, clear replication, and thoughtful observations about water absorption rates and mold growth. The reflection shows genuine scientific thinking.
You should test eco-friendly detergents as you mentioned in your conclusion.
