Does it do any good to put lights half way up th plants or down low? I'm using cfls if that matters

It's a splendid idea; it will allow the lower branches/popcorn buds to receive more light and fatten up. CFL's are great to use for this, just be careful with the extra heat.

CFLs should be just a few inches from the part of the plant you want to illuminate.

And yes, CFLs are good for supplimental side lighting.

How come no one seems to do it then? That's what threw me off

i've got a bulb in the bottom of my box. none on the side at the moment though.

like they said, it's a good idea and CFLs are great for this purpose.
