Hi! I’m new here. I haven’t ever really been great with plants, but I love them all the same. Question for y’all. My covered balcony is mostly shaded with a few sun spots in the day (faces north in Southern California.) I’ve got a few grow lights out there to assist my 🌱 friends, however, I don’t know how to indicate that in Planta. On its own my balcony appears to be unwelcoming to plants that need sun, but I know with the lights most of them are getting more light. How have you differentiated that in the app so that it knows that I have more light? Thanks in advance.

That's a great question! I've been wondering the same thing, but I think it would be beneficial if you joined the planta feedback group. They can answer a lot of you questions, and they are also always making updates. For this question, I’m not sure what the answer is but I’m sure they do.
