    edit: I shot a new version of this time lapse, same setup except this time I used a yellow watermelon, and the seed sprouted! Check it out once you finished with this one

    It went from a watermelon into a pizza slice into a moldy bread, all while looking like it was boiling on a frying pan. I'm not sure what I was expecting but definitely not that. :D
