Well. I thought about doing something similar to get the lower colas and buds than cutting them.

Sounds like a bloody nice light that already has a decent throw of light. Meant to be good for this..

I'm no LED guru, but I would've thought you'd be right. Think your tent is a 5' x 5' as well?

Yea bro but the lower buds have never bulked up on all my grows I was thinking with more light to the lower end of the canopy they might I could even maybe have them sitting on the pots facing up or could be just a wast of money lol

 

[Indy]

Could do I guess, but I don't think I've seen anyone overcome the lower popcorn issue. Thought we all got it from one extent to another.

Hopefully someone else knows the solution.

Understanding Under-Canopy and Side Lighting for Cannabis - RQS Blog

In this article, we explore the use of under-canopy and side lighting to maximise the yields of cannabis crops. Find out more with Royal Queen Seeds.

IS SIDE LIGHTING USELESS FOR CANNABIS?​

Side lighting is certainly not useless. It does have its place both for vegetables and weed. The main consideration is whether the extra cost involved is justified. The ultimate question is, do you want to add 20% more weight to your flimsy popcorn bud, or would you prefer a 20% boost in overall yield?

If you have dialed-in your grow-op to the max and are sure your strain has reached its full genetic potential, then by all means, add some extra side lighting to push your plants to the limit. Otherwise, you will be far better off applying some cost-free training techniques to instantly achieve a more desirable effect on the final yield.
