side lighting can and does help. it provides light to the branches under the main canopy, allowing them to maximize their potential. this is one reason why vertical lighting helps with bigger yields.
FlyGuyOU Reviewed by FlyGuyOU on . "side" lighting Hello! I just want to ask, - is it important that the sides of the plants get alot of light as well as the top? I have heard that just a light above the plants is all they need, but I have also heard, the more light the better. I am wanting to grow in a enclosed box, and during veg I want to put T5 2ft x4 bulbs on top and along the sides of the box, a couple of 4footers going vertical on the sides to keep the entire side of the plant lit up. Would this be worth it or a waste of Rating: 5
