Under canopy LED’s

[rkymtnman]

I'd like to now what would happen with a plant that only has under canopy lighting? I know the underside of the leaves do photosynthesize but not as efficiently as the top side. Would it flower and have very airy buds? Would it Hermie up? would it have normal buds?

That would be kinda stupid to try

Would it stretch or grow to the light?

Would it stretch or grow to the light?

good ?

 

[Caddis]

Actually, I would think either would be bad?

I meant good question. especially if there was nothing to reflect any of the under canopy light back down

After thinking hard on what I wanna do and budgets ,okay I ordered another 8x under canopy by mammoth + stands + 3ft extension cord. This gives me total 18x UC led’s and able to all lines.

Price compares
the vivisun are 108 ( 100 watts, stands suck, no power daisy chainable , 110v) each.
16 GML UC with stands and cord WOULD BE $5,592.00 USD… JESUS
Craft or FAVEN would be 4,000-5,000 for 16x UC … yeah

I paid 1,800 for 16 UC with cords/stands + the 2x vivisun. at 999 for 8x mammoth + stands it made it roughly 130 a unit/led. For quality of led and driver qc vs rest it def seemed like best choice for me .

I wonder if under canopy leds will help with the lowers going intersex on my plants during transition. It seems the bigger the leaves the more it happens. They create zero ppfd zones down there. Worth it or just pick off the sacs?
