[INDOOR-GARDENING:184] Gardening in the basement under HID lights


I just realised that my reply went to Wanda directly.  I am reposting it to
the list



Hi Wanda,

Where can I get more information on the light levels required by plants. I
hava HID setup and am continually guessing as to what is acceptable for the
plants.

Most of what I am  growing is Rare  Fragrant Tropicals and Container
Tropical Fruit and it is hard to get information these plants grown indoors.

As they are tropicals , I assume they are day neutral so I give them 12
hours of light per day.  However I am not sure if the 12 hours should be at
1000, or 4000 or 6000 foot candles.

Any giudance would be appreciated

Ranjit
