I just wanted to know if you believed in my theory that crystals grow larger and faster in hot water rather than cold water.

This is an excellent hypothesis to test using a well designed set of science experiments.

Temperature does affect the way crystals grow, but not necessarily how fast they grow.

Here is a Science Buddies project you might want to consider doing to investigate your hypothesis: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p005.shtml

Give it a try and have fun!
