1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor configured to:
obtain data measurements associated with plants in at least one growing area, the plants having a common genotype and grown under different growing or environmental conditions in the at least one growing area, the data measurements associated with one or more characteristics of the plants and multiple characteristics of the growing or environmental conditions;
at least partially remove time of day variations from at least some of the data measurements;
process at least some of the data measurements to identify one or more of the growing or environmental conditions associated with at least one desired characteristic being expressed in the plants being grown; and
adjust one or more control systems in the at least one growing area based on an identification of the one or more growing or environmental conditions identified as achieving a specific genotype or phenotype trait for the plants, the specific genotype or phenotype trait associated with the at least one desired characteristic.
