Our Zinnias Part Two

We observed significant changes after we started the acidic and basic treatments to our zinnias. In about a day we had noticed that the basic group was looking unhealthy and not very strong at all.

It was surprising how fast the effect of the basic treatment was on the plant. Here it is just a few days after the first treatment.

These were the results we had expected, just not as quick as they had happened. The neutral and acidic groups seem to be healthy and have grown significantly. 
After a week the results were much more noticeable, especially the basic group.

It is quite obvious that the basic treatment killed the plants. The acidic treatment hasn't harmed the plants substantially, however, they do look more yellow and not as strong as the control group. We have planted kohlrabi seeds to retest the basic treatment on them.
