Congrats Bigstick. I got second. Are you the one who got 100%? I misread a source or two so It took me quite a while to get 96%. John can vouch that it took me a few tries to get from 92 to 96.

Thanks John, Pferts and whoever else was involved.

Hey slick, i got the 100%, but it took me a few tries too. I hovered at the 92% for a while.

thanks to everyone who organized this including Pfertz and of course John for his diligent grading of the tests.

Yes, an increased photoperiod will not equate a shorter photoperiod of more intense light.

^ agreed. There's a threshold issue covered quite nicely at www.RexGrigg.com

Congrats to winners! I think it was just hard enough of a test.

It looks like that i am the only one with 96% who didn't get the prize. A wooden medal at least?

It's OK, no problem at all. Find out that i am a Plant Guru was the greatest prize. That's one giant step for me, one small leap for mankind.
