Time lapse radish seeds sprouting, top and roots growing

Posted on Jun 05, 2009 under Best Seeds | 25 Comments

Time lapse sequence shot using Pentax K110D and Harbortronics DigiSnap 2100 set to take a frame each 14 minutes 24 seconds. The time lapse spans 9 days. Two 90 watt compact floresecent lights where used for both the camera shooting light and the grow lights. The lights were set on a timer for 18 hours on and 6 off (for the health of the plants). The jump in the video is the 6 hour gap in the darkness. Amazing how fast the radishes grew. Music by Roland White – Gaieté Acadienne [CD-Trying to Get to You]. Hope you enjoy.

    its actually bacteria that live inside root nodules and fix nitrogen from the atmosphere, Rhizobium lives in legumes mostly. fungus does have a symbiotic relationship as mycrorrizas, which live around the roots and give them a larger surface for absorption, most plants couldnt live without them.

    Hi, I have heard about a symbiotic relation between fungi and roots. I believe there is some sort of fungus in the roots of plants that help with the absorption of water and nutrients. That’s why fungus gnats target roots.

    Radish roots don’t usually get bulbous until they’ve been growing for a long while. These sprouts are far too young.
