I just wonder because I can easily do this without a whole lot of extra work and I just wanna know if there would be any benefit to that or not. My guess is no but I might as well ask.
When lights are on.. The whole plant goes through,photosythesis... No matter if the lower leaves and budsites are being beamed on..If you spread panda film on the floor,white side up.. Then they will benefit by bulking up somewhat.. But your right about the tops,near the reflector itself,benefits the most... There is no such thing as too much light.. But... There is such a thing as not enough! Glad you asked!
