I think a well engineered side lighted canopy would be amazing!! Still undercanopy somewhatunder canopy lighting or side lighting ? which is best ? Do know that side lighting can slow upward growth and adds buds to lateral branches



I do know that sidelighting DOES work by using it for the last 5 yrs with excellent results BUT sidelighting works well in small spaces like 3by3 /4by4, ect
I have no doubt side lighting, under canopy , mid canopy all work, your adding ppfd, period. However all decrease the total gram per watt yield, but increase top quality consistency from top to bottom which leads to higher pricing for product that you sell, so ROI is there, if ya don't sell your product whether legally or not, I don't see the benefit. Save your money and put it into environmental controls.(Dehumidifiers , CO2, a/c, airflow, etc.Top only lighting is very , very efficient and when combined with proper defoliation techniques, lolipoping lowers and canopy height can't be beat for true cost of your harvestI do know that sidelighting DOES work by using it for the last 5 yrs with excellent results BUT sidelighting works well in small spaces like 3by3 /4by4, ect
