Side Lighting During Flower

[Kingdiamond]

Im looking to be more efficient in my bloom box by providing more light to the lower buds during 12-12 what does everyone else use to achieve more light coverage?

I use clip on lights (the ones with the porcelain socket) and 55 watt 2700k CFLs where needed...............HJ

I've heard of people putting t5 fixtures on the sides as well....Never done it personally though.

I have 2 - 4 tube T5 fixtures on the back side of my grow and clip ons in the front..........HJ

side lighting... Other then that I think it's grow style. I like to top/lst to have an even canopy of just tops, then cut everything off of the plant that's below the tops, you'll get fatter buds and won't have to worry about getting light down to the bottom.

my flower area is 4'x4' i have a 400w hps in the center and on each side i have a two bulb 4' t5 hanging. Im not two sure what the wattage is on the t5 bulbs but i think they ar 45 watts not sure but its more than enough for my bloom room. if i had any more light i dont think i would be able to control me heat so the set up i have works. if your just looking to fill in the shaded areas with a lil extra light i say use sum fluorecents if you want a lot more light add a 600w or a 1000w hps.

I use light movers and keep my lights about 6-8 inches above the plants. I get great penetration

I was given 2 free LED 1ftx1ft panels I put those on the sides of my tent and I have buds all the way down to about 2 inches from the soil.... These are thick buds to not those fluffy airy buds ..... I was amazed!
