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.

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

Re: Under lighting
Photosynthesis happens INSIDE leaves and stems in cell structures called chloroplasts.
A quick google sorts that one out.

Re: Under lighting
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.KD wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 10:31 amIs that talking from experience?sir-scrogalot wrote: ↑Sat Dec 25, 2021 9:55 pmLeaves will turn to the light, they will turn to receive the most intense source of light they can find.

Re: Under lighting
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

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