tccarnuel said:So, I've continued thinking about this, and this question comes to mind: Do plants with less light get used to having less light? That could be an argument against rotation - if a plant adjusts to its environment and doesn't expect as much light, would it be better to just leave it be, rather than "tease" it with light from time to time and not allow it to adjust?

I don't think so. That's sort of the equivalent of never having enough food to eat. You may be slender, but not in a good way. You might not die really fast, but your long-term health is likely to be compromised. In regards to direct sun, it can also be the equivalent of over-indulging in something that is ordinarily good for you.
