Sprout Movie #1

Morning Glory (center) and Pole Bean (sides) seeds germinating and sprouting on a windowsill, over a 14-day period. Time-lapse footage was captured at a rate of one frame every hour, with a Casio QV-8000SX camera in time-lapse mode.

The morning glory seeds get off to a quick start, but enter a semi-dormant phase once the cotyledons unfold. Meanwhile, the bean seeds have been producing roots like mad, and push their way out of the ground after few days. After that, it's a mad dash for the sun.

Also somewhat interesting is the potted ivy in the background. It was transplanted right at the beginning of the experiment, and you can see it settling into the new pot over the first few days, before slowing down and producing new leaves.

Thank you for doing that, that answers so many questions. And its way more than a basic idea. 3-4 seeds gow into a vine around the bamboo.

Sang Goo (Core C): This video's time lapse is to fast, so it is hard to see exactly how it grows, just a basic idea
