Under lighting

[KD]

You know the tops of the leaves are where the photosynthesis happens right? Cause plants evolved to process light coming from above right? Ask NorthernScrogger on Instagram, I promise you... It does nothing but waste money

Leaves will turn to the light, they will turn to receive the most intense source of light they can find. When running a two tier scrog lighting pointing upwards to the lower section of the scrog massively increases par in that area, its a way of improving penetration right through the canopy. If it was a 1 net scrog then you're right it won't do much as everything below the net is cut away, however on a 2 net scrog under lighting makes a big difference, for example in a 2ft x 4ft space it could be the difference between 2_3 ounces of Lower popcorn trim becoming quality bud. You could honestly be look g at 20% or more improvement In end product. Not to be sniffed at.

Is that talking from experience?

Plants do photosynthesis from the underside of leaves so there could be some benefit from under lighting will be interesting to see.

it can only help with better bud formation ......... good stuff and im following on

Photosynthesis happens INSIDE leaves and stems in cell structures called chloroplasts.

A quick google sorts that one out.

Well yeah, Iv ran under lighting before with good results. This run I'm doing now isn't to determine if it works or not, it's to determine if full spectrum light or pure 660nm Deep Red is better for the purpose.

Ive got a DR8 on a grow at the moment had an idea that more Deep red would help just another mrnice crazy idea like me grounding a plant and my moon growing stage lol

I like to play around

I have a feeling deep red will be better too but previously I used an old full spectrum 50w panel, that went well so I'm optimistic for both tests. I also want to look at blue for side lighting

My biggest issue right now is how I'm going to mount/suspend the lights from underneath

ok no heard of that blue for side lighting

Was thinking of blue light in the morning then switch to full deep red from midday try mimic sun through the day cycle got a sunset strip aswell can chuck in need a few more timers aswell

Ive side bolted mine to my Ish150 so all hanging from one light can send you pic for a laugh if you lik
