Default Light requirements - peak or average footcandles?
One question I've never seen answered definitively: when we see a particular requirement in footcandles specified for an orchid, does this refer peak mid-day levels of natural light or levels averaged through the day? For instance for a phal needing 1000 fc, would 12-14 hours at a constant 500 fc of artificial lighting (say at 5500K) be sufficient?
