My Plant Experiment – the carrots are growing!

I planted carrot seeds in peet that I soaked in turf field water or grass field water. They’ve been growing for about 8 weeks. I water them every day with water from turf or grass. I also have one that I’ve just watered with tap water. My mom got a grow light for them, and today I saw their roots are growing through the bottoms of their cups. I put them in bigger pots. I hope Dr. Adina can help me see if the plants end up any different because of the water.
