I bought these to play around with later in my grow. It can't be too powerful. The whole strip runs on only 5v.
Has anyone experimented with side lights?

Side and under lighting have been proven to increase yield.

Search icon, top right of the page... there are many people on here that have used side/under lighting..
Give her a whorl and see how they perform with them..

Cool. Not sure where to put it yet. It's only going to be used to supplement my current lighting. It's a peel and stick.
I was thinking of mounting it around 4" to 5" above my pot and use it once my plant is established. Right now it hasn't poked it head out yet.

I did that first before posting here. The lights they used wasn't like I have.

The lights you have don't look very bright.. at best being blue/ultraviolet may help keep the bottom buds tightened and produce more crystals/Trichomes... but I'm thinking your light penitration given your space is enough to keep everything good..

I forgot to mention. The light in my tent is only set to 40% or 150 PAR at the soil.
I do have another light I'm planning on experimenting with later down the road for bud growing. A 395nm UVA light.

Is that good?
yes higher transpiration drives more water and nutrients from the roots to the plant but everything with moderation excess transpiration can bring toxicity if your nutrients are too hot for that rate of absortion

The grow light tape isn't working out like I hoped for. So I bought some better side lighting. I plan in putting them on my side vertical tent frame.
