    Burn the wick once you have a nice crystal. The empty space left behind has huge surface area. It will crystallize out even faster and less cloudy.

    I guess it always depends on the conditions (amount of water/salt, temperature, type of container...). I believe here it was the one in the flat glass container/bowl with the blue colouring.

    You can choose. The hotter the water is, the more salt dissolutes an the more salt will eventually precipitate when it gets cooler

    I was under the impression chemistry involved a bit more precision than 'as much salt as possible' lol

    If you want to, you could calculate the exact maximum amount of a specific salt that dissolves in a certain amount of water at a certain temperature xD But I just used the easiest way to make a saturated solution. But that's also a message I try to convey: sometimes, chemistry can just be easy and beautiful ^^

    Nice video. Any ideas why the nucleation site starts out white and only at a certain size the crystals become transparent? Seems like a weird phase transition.

    I suppose there was still a lot of dirt in the solutions and beakers I used, so the crystals could not growth in there favorable configuration or other particles were included. Which would lead to more light scattering etc. So maybe at some point, the crystal could finally grow more ideally... But I am not entirely sure, I admit. ^^'

    I used cold (room temperature) water but you can also use warm water. More salt will dissolve then, but the crystallization will already start when it gets colder. You can use both, thread or shoe lace. The latter should be made of cotton, if possible

    I used as much salt als needed to get a saturated solution. That means I put the salt into the defined amount of water with a certain temperature until no more salt could be dissolved.
