I do half the footcandle amount as they grow under artificial lights.

I think this is one where Andy has learned better, he's terrible about updating the computer when he finds that his original assumptions needed modification. I know where he actually grows them.. fairly shady (and also on the cool side, in a covered but otherwise open shade house). So while Andy's info is usually pretty good, it's not perfect and it sure looks to me that this is one that needs to be better.
(I have the advantage of being able to visit the nursery often, it's about an hour's drive from my house, I help at open houses... I have learned a lot from seeing where things actually grow that I apply to my own plants. Few people have this opportunity)
