Rep identifies which Repetition the plant received during experiment which also indicated what experimental block the plants were grown on. Time 1 through Time 10 indicated sampling points where the number of nodes per plant data was collected. Time 1 through Time 10 are the number of nodes per plant at that time point. The time that elapsed between time points is roughly every two weeks.
