On YouTube: Time lapse video of Wisconsin Fast Plants growing from planted seed through flowering to seed production, set to music! Time lapse just makes them grow a little faster than they do in real life -- this video shows approximately 40 days, the time it takes to produce the next generation.
This video resource explains and demonstrates how to plant Fast Plants in a bottle growing system made from recycled soda/water bottles was made by the instructors at UW-Madison who teach Biocore (a foundational undergraduate biology course). In this planting approach, vermiculite is used along with a soil-less potting mix (e.g. Redi-Earth).

This video is provided by Wisconsin Fast Plants and demonstrates how to tend and pollinate Fast Plant's 7-Day seeds. While both tending to and pollinating Fast Plants is the recommended approach, this video features an experiment to illustrate the effect that tending and pollination has on the plant's growth. It includes a 40-day time lapse, where viewers can watch the differences between a plant...
This video is provided by Wisconsin Fast Plants, and demonstrates how to build an inexpensive light box for Fast Plants seedlings. This recording runs for 02:35 minutes in length. Additional videos about planting with Fast Plants are available to view separately.
This video is provided by Wisconsin Fast Plants, and introduces light intensity and its impact on plant growth. The video gives an overview of the effects of high light and low light intensities, and also includes a 20-day time lapse so the viewer can observe the effects that high and low light intensities have on the growth of the Fast Plants. This recording runs for 02:26 minutes in length....
This video is provided by Wisconsin Fast Plants, and introduces the plant life cycle. The video features a 40-day time lapse of the Fast Plants from seeds during germination, through flowering and reproduction, until harvesting seeds at the end of the cycle. This recording runs for 02:19 minutes in length. Additional videos about planting with Fast Plants are available to view separately.
