Our project is about the differences between plants revived by sunlight and those revived by UV light. There's a reason we picked it: it interested us that a lot of people use UV, and we wondered why they prefer UV light to sunlight for plant growth. I wanted to test, and also, not everyone can grow plants outside.
You chose a good, real-life question, many people grow plants indoors, and you clearly compared UV light and sunlight using the same plant type.
Very interesting experiment, especially for people who start and grow plants in a greenhouse. How did you decide the basil plants were not healthy?
Congratulations to competing in the SARSEF fair.
This project poses an interesting question about whether UV lights can revive dying plants, which addresses a practical problem for indoor gardeners.
