1. low light high fertilizer standard
9 petiolar trichomes on stem.
2. Low fertilizer low light standard
19 petiolar trichomes
3. low light high fertilizer petite
no petiolar trichomes
4. low light low fertilizer petite; no petiolar trichomes
5. high light high fertilizer standard
No petiolar trichomes
6. high light low fertilizer standard
Count of 24 petiolar trichomes on one stem.

Genetic differences:
5 and 7: environmentally identical but genetically different; maximum height is affected by genes because they were reared in the exact same environment but for some reason heights are different
stalk thickness is the same; perhaps not affected by genes
5: 18 cm tall
7: 12 cm tall
6 and 8: environmentally identical but genetically different; maximum height is affected by genes because they were reared in the exact same environment but for some reason heights are different
6: 10 cm tall
8: 3 cm tall
stalk thickness is the same; perhaps not affected by genes
Environment differences:
4 and 7: genetically same but environmentally different; dramatic difference in height; implies that height is a characteristic that is influenced by both genes and the environment
4: 5 cm tall
7: 12 cm tall
4 and 7 have stalk thickness difference
2 and 5: genetically same but environmentally different; dramatic difference in height; implies that height is a characteristic that is influenced by both genes and the environment
2 and 5 have stalk thickness differences; implies that this is a function of environment
A summary of our observations is that height is affected by both genes and environment but stalk thickness has an enivronmental influence but not a genetic one.
