| I have a light meter already...
The thing of it is...is that I can't go around testing the light under, say 50%, 60% etc. shadecloth because no one has it, (ESPECIALLY THE GREENHOUSES) except Home Depot or Lowes (can't remember) who has 75 percent. I guess I can take my crappy light meters out there and sort of make a guess at it.
I am really suprised I have not burned any of my orchids. My cymb got left in the FULL AFTERNOON SUN for 5 hours and it is fine. I have only burned one orchid in my life, and that was a den. I had in Hawaii. My other dens were fine in the same light, but the one burned.
Maybe I just have a knack for light levels...maybe I should stop worrying.
Also, you have to factor in how far away the shade cloth is from your plants. I think I am making this way too complicated and I am worrying too much.
