Lighting for Phrag
Default

Not delving into a huge scientific debate about PAR vs lumens and all that, mathematically, the Phrags should be getting a widely distributed 1k footcandles from the daylight balanced t5HO, while the Catts are closer and in the 2k to 3k. The Dens and one mounted Cat is under four t5s and should be in the 3k to 4k range of usable light. There's SOME indirect illumination from a west facing window, but with the gloomy midday weather we've been having it's hard to tell how much they really get.

Sooo, months to find out if it's good enough. And me someone who green seeds Zinnias because 20 days is too long to wait....
