Hi All, I am not sure if you are coming to a close end to your projects but are there any updates on plant growth? Were the plants that were not growing as much prior (cilantro, millet, and corn I believe) start growing at a rapid rate after they had sprouted? Also, take a good look at the plants that were sprouting well before (I know your pea plants showed rapid and healthy growth rates before) After a while, did the growing rate start to slow down? Did the plants seem like they had reached some type of peak (leaves started changing color or shape, plant started changing colors?)? I think this is an important observation to make.

I think making that guess is great! Maybe you would like to try researching for some background information on the optimal soil conditions for the  millet and peas next time so you can test if the already found research is true based on your experiment and so you can make educated predictions although it will be still interesting to know if your guess came out to be successful and optimal for millet and peas growth!
