Cannabis responses to contrasting daily light integrals and short-term PPFD, including photosynthetic acclimation and water-use responses; supports separating DLI from instantaneous PPFD.
Visual lesson 09
Light acclimation & canopy position
Compare leaves developed under different local photon environments to show how photosynthetic traits can acclimate across canopy positions, while avoiding the assumption that one leaf response directly predicts whole-plant yield or flower quality.
Primary visual specification
Canopy-position light acclimation and leaf-response map
Create an academically accurate canopy-position light acclimation and leaf-response map for the Light acclimation & canopy position lesson. Use neutral studio lighting or clean academic illustration conventions, realistic botanical proportions, readable labels where needed, no yellow cast, and no decorative elements that compete with the teaching objective.
