The experiment had three treatments: indoor photostimulated; indoor natural light regime; not taken indoors. The experiment was done in two locations in 2009 and in one location in 2010. We divided the analyses in two; i) only data from the Oosterhout population (2009 and 2010) and ii) only data from 2009, where the experiment was done in Oosterhout and Hoge Veluwe population.
