I’m putting my engineering mind to serve the plants because they are tired of hand-wavy descriptions of light.

Let me introduce you to a light map, which shows the dome surrounding a plant (360° around and 180° going overhead) and the path of the sun for a given latitude (source: SunEarthTools.com – try it, it’s super fun)

3️⃣ Toronto, latitude: 43.649°
4️⃣ Stockholm, latitude: 59.362°
5️⃣ Singapore, latitude: 1.290°
6️⃣ Melbourne, latitude: -37.795°
