Words that describe light make it seem uniform and unchanging but once you use a light meter, you will see the drastic differences in intensity from small changes in position.

2️⃣ As I move closer to the window while still being blocked from the sun, the reason for the increase in light is from the increasing visible angle of the sky – just a few feet closer results in nearly doubling (from 130 foot-candles to 230 fc) – now do you understand why I keep saying ***put your plant where it has the widest possible view of the sky***???

3️⃣ But the second part of my guideline is about the duration of direct sun: the light meter has different ranges so if the reading surpasses the current range, it will show ‘1___’ – click the Range button and notice the little ‘x10’ at the bottom of the screen, which means morning sun, through a window was around 3000 fc.
