=== Optimum light intensity===
In this instance, "optimum light intensity" refers to the amount of light that provides the maximum yield from the cultivar
Yield is linear with ppfd to around 1500 - 2000 μmol/s<ref>Cannabis Yield, Potency, and Leaf Photosynthesis Respond Differently to Increasing Light Levels in an Indoor Environment (Rodriguez-Morrison, 2021) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8144505/</ref>
=== Upper limit of light intensity ===
The theoretical upper limit that a plant can tolerate before experiencing symptoms of poor health
Maximum ppfd cannabis can tolerate is around 2000 - 2500 μmol/s in perfect conditions<ref> Light dependence of photosynthesis and water vapor exchange...

Above (500?) μmol/s supplemental co2 is required [citation required]
