| In
the third quarter, vigorous growth in all
the plants continued, but our researchers
noted that the basil plants growing in
Sunleaves silica stone had shorter inter-nodal
spacing than the others. |

|
| The
experiment’s final quarter. While
the basil growing in the alternate silica
mixture exhibited very healthy growth,
the plants growing in Sunleaves silica
stone produced even larger leaves and more
lush, dense growth overall. |

Worm’s Way product researchers
were able to replicate these results in a similar, albeit
modified experiment. In the related trial, of a total
of 24 asters contained in plastic net cups, half were
grown in expanded clay pellets and half grew in Sunleaves
silica stone in a drip hydroponics system. All plants
were fed a two-part Super Veg nutrient solution. Eight
64-watt T-8 fluorescent lamps were positioned 24 inches
above the asters, and plants received 18 hours of light
daily.
The three
rows of asters on the left grew in expanded clay pellets
while the three rows on the right grew in Sunleaves silica
stone. Over a period of several weeks/months, the asters
growing in Sunleaves silica stone grew at twice the rate
of those growing in expanded clay pellets. Overall, the
deep green asters growing in Sunleaves silica stone also
appear healthier and more vigorous.
