K-3.We started an experiment of watering pumpkins seed/plants with Diet Coke,
another with plain water and another with 2T of ammonia in a pint of water.  
Diet Coke has grown 80", has over 20 blooms,ammonia is 48" long and no blooms, 
water is 35" long and is not growing much.  Test started March 3, 2004.  Why 
is Diet Coke so good?  The stems and leaves look good. The plant watered with 
2T of ammonia in water is really green, the leaves are smaller and it has buds.
