Understanding Under-Canopy and Side Lighting for Cannabis - RQS Blog

In this article, we explore the use of under-canopy and side lighting to maximise the yields of cannabis crops. Find out more with Royal Queen Seeds.
www.royalqueenseeds.com www.royalqueenseeds.com
Please read that through.
In short: Adding side-ways light when your primary top-light is strong can increase your yield, surely, but when the top light is not intense at all, it has adverse effect for cannabis, you want those side-lights be on top shining down too to increase your yield best way in the first place, because this alltogether is just small light.

BTW is that black slurrish on you wallpaper a fungus???
I see black dots like dirt at the wall... o_O
You should maintain a clean and hygiene grow-room.

Im fine with the rudimentary improvised DIY-style, but im really concerend about the safety of that grow in that place.

I hope it's just dirt or needs a painting again and not a fungus, but there's cracks too, this could mean water got in the wall or condensations hit it. Check that!! Dont grow in highly aspergillus contaminated areas! You might not notice for a long time feeling OK for yourself with strong imune system.....

Is that LED? Than the distance is ok, maybe little higher. Check how hot the light feels on your hand that distance, a little warthm is ok, but when it goes unpleasently, your plants high likely feel the same.... if these would be halogen-spots, that would turn out very hot!

I'm not a pro, but... More full spectrum light is needed. Buy simple grow light on aliexpress 80watts for $30 or on Amazon 100watts for $40.

Ideally you want around 40w sq ft or more. So 3-4 12w bulbs per sq ft of grow space. 12-16 lights for a 2x2' area. This is for flower (that's where it counts) you can get away with less light during veg.
Running bulbs like that I'd personally mix 3000-3500k (flower) with 4000-4500k (veg) bulbs. If you want all the same, just go with 3500k.
