Second time watering

It's March 27th and I will be watering once the boiled and microwaved water cool down. Since I planted this round of onions I have noticed similar verticle growth in all four pots. The boiled water and microwaved water pots started growing a new leaf! The plant that was left over from the last experiment has also started growing a new leaf, its color is looking healthier and it appears to have more water in its leaves now too.
The other two pots look just as healthy, but no new leaves are in sight just yet. 
PHOTOS!
Note the two new leaves in the microwaved water pot (right) and the new leaf on the boiled water pot (left).


Starting from scratch

Yesterday I wrote a long post about how my onion experiment was a failure due to the lack of sunshine. I didn't post it because I wanted a picture of the plants in the sun shine. Later in the day I got emails from google recommending that I change my password. Somehow this is what killed the draft of my blog post. 
I plan on writing the same post but in a really half assed manner now.
All the onion bulbs were dead or close to it.
One plant in the well water pot had a real nice root system compared to all others.
One plant in the microwaved water pot was alive and salvageable probably because it was planted with few roots and much later than all the others.
I discarded all plants except for that one.
Replaced all plants with fresh ones.
Fresh plants had few roots and hacked bulbs so I let the sit in dry soil for a few days before watering.
Received another onion a day after planting and I placed it in the pot for wicrowaved water.
Here are pictures. 
Sorry this was such a crappy post. It was very nice. Stupid internet.
