Well what was the point of the experiment? We can't answer without a lot more details about the entire experiment.

Keeping plants in the dark makes them grow faster. The reason for this is because the plant is looking for light.

plants grow taller in dark because a hormone called auxin (possible spelling mistake, cuz I studied in other language) which is responsible for growth of tips is deactivated in light.
