I would label the x-axis with a scale 1-10 weeks and the y-axis with inches grown. The graph starts at 2inches because it's the height of the plant. For the next 4 weeks there will be a growth of 1 inch a week (reaching 6) than the line stays at the height for 2 weeks until it gets sunlight again for 3 more weeks making it grown 3 more inches and repeats the process again.
