It will not kill your plants if they are laid down sideways, however they will naturally respond to the light and start growing up towards the light. If you have ever LST'ed your plants you understand what I am saying. plants will naturally bend toward the light and the new bends in the plant might pose a problem depending on your setup.

From the looks of your setup id say it would be better for you to just give the plant a quarter to half turn daily to even out light distribution. That way you build a stronger and more even plant and without the extra stretching and bending that would come from laying the plant on its side.

Just rotate it or get lights to go all around it all the time.

preciate the answers guys... i think my next box will just have to be built better... but yeah... i know what you guys mean about the stretching and shit... when i had two plants i would rotate them 180 degrees every day... they would flip flop back and fourth ... so yeah... gotcha and thanks alot guys...
