communications among the team‚ the seeds‚ soil‚ water concentration‚ fertilizer‚ light exposure‚ temperature of the room‚ consistency of following watering (watering the plant same time every day) and seed depth. All of these variables can affect the germination process in some sense but seed depth is the greatest‚ on the back of the seed packet it states the proper depth to plant the seed so it may break the surface and continue growing‚ without this there is no study.
