Final Results
The competition has finally concluded, and I finished in the 40s. While I didn’t make the top 25 to earn an official ranking, I gained tremendous knowledge throughout this journey – and for that, I’m truly grateful.

2. The Regrets
A) Orchids Mysteries Left Unsolved
⦁ Never fully cracked how to utilize humidity and sunlight data
