Side Lighting

[12345-54321]

Can we get some feedback going about using sidelights (CFL) or other in a grow, and if its helped with yields and bud development, or just been more trouble then its worth...

I have a CFL cab. (4lx2wx4h) with 9 150's in it and 18" flo tubes. I was messing around with getting some more light at the mid level, put the space is quickly becoming an issue? Are CFLs or flo tubes better in this situation?

are you using cfls or flo tubes? I checked out your grow log, but there was any shots that I saw of the sidelighting that your using....

They are just cfl's mounted on the wall.

cool, i'm looking at my lighting setup and trying to figure out what upgrades i'd like to do for my next growing season....

check out the pic from a few weeks ago, i'd like to switch the tubes over to cfls and perhaps go from 2 hangers of 3 at the top to 3 at 3. I have a bunch of light in the middle but want it more spaced out....but as you can tell from other shot, my first CFL grow is going well, the one is close to finishing up, but the others are still a few weeks out...
