Got my babies a grow light! Is this considered Bright, Indirect Sunlight? I have it on level 2.

POV though the plants are in the corner of my window, the sun does not directly touch that corner.

get a light meter for your phone, use the PPFD measurement. full sun is about 600-900, bright indirect is 100-300
