Zandor?? Somebody please tell me about adding side lighting?

[donnie189]

Okay, I've got all these tall flowers, and they're all crowding each other. I've put the worst stunted ones back in the veg room 'cause I've nowhere else to put them. I'm about to go out, and buy another big black tub, and another 1000 HPS (is Hortulux better for blooming?) and put some flowers the same size in another room. Butt, then I thought about adding 250-400HPS or Hortilux vertically on each side of my sea of green. Does this sound okay? I'd prefer to keep the heat down with possibly the 250. ?? Thanks allot! I'd just like some good yeilds, they've been flowering (slow starters) but I have this 1) 1000 Hortulux light on a '6 mover, trying to do it all. I really think I'd get better yeilds with a couple of 250's vertical on both sides. I got a month to go, I think. Donnie

BTW; The 1000 Hortilux is on a mover, but I think my side lights wouldn't be. What do all of you think of the movers that have a light on both ends, that turns about?? Donnie

Can we see a pic.. I am having trouble visualizing the grow.... but if I see it correctly, side lighting is the way to GO

I went and found this for you, PL lighting under agricultural lighting @bghydro.com
I tried to link it for you, but my comp illiteracy got the best of me...check out those reflectors,,they are real small, but they are supposed to be awesome and you can side light with them ...I copied the 3-4 items off page, so you could identify what I was talking about, but no pics...this came from the bottom of the page...goodluck.

I like the sound of them reflectors. Hey also Guys, what do you think of this cola? I never seen a red hair in my life, I'm colored blind. I don't know how old she is getting to be. I have a half dozen of these stuffed around in between these tall ones. Thanks Donnie :rasta:

Wow donnie youre doing it all wrong for an indoor grow. And when i say that i mean that you shouldnt just let them grow out straight up like that.

What you need to do on your next grow(too late now) is use a trimming technique such as fimming or just straight topping those plants. And if i were you i would also look to buy some seeds that are of the Idica variety.

That way you would have shorter bushier plants and no real need to change your setup. Although side lighting can be beneficial to almost any grow setup.

i personaly would get side lighting if i had the money. and i think thats what you sould do. it would get alot more light to the lower 2/3 of your plants.
