So there is something to compare the changed part of the experiment too. The reason why I created a control group for if My plants grew faster in the dark or the light is to compare the growth speed if there was any. I put one on my porch outside where it was under direct sunlight. I put another on my desk where it got light only on certain parts of the day and I put the last one in my closet where it hadn't received any sunlight. in this case my plant on my desk would be my control group.
Hope this helps :D<span />
