3000 Lumen cfls

[Brosnan]

Ok so i decided to install two 3000 lumen cfl bulbs under my canopy to give the lower branches some much needed light.

my question is...are the underside of the leafs sensitive to light? Can too much light underneath a leaf cause any damage?

want to kno if this is safe to do.

thanks

yeah, I think the top of the leaf has the large amount of chlorophyllchlorophyll |ˈklôrəˌfil|
noun
a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. Its molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring.
DERIVATIVES
chlorophyllous |ˌklôrəˈfiləs| |ˈˈklɔrəˈˈfɪləs| |-ˈfɪləs| adjective
ORIGIN early 19th cent.: coined in French from Greek khlōros ‘green’ + phullon ‘leaf.’

but it might just work .

Yes, the "top" part of the leaves is where the light receptors are. But don't worry, the leaves will turn and re-align themselves (like a self aiming Satellite Dish) towards the light. It's called phototropism.

i dont think the cfls are gunna help those trees in the pic. i have seen pics of grows that had cfls dangleing all over the plant but they were there from the start. iI would say when the buds on top are ready cut them off and reveg the plant a little, then reflower.
