Diy side lights.

I still wonder whether it's worth keeping the growth below the canopy if your side lighting isn't as bright. If side lighting is the same as the top sure but any less and you lose energy at both ends pulling out growth at a lower node to receive less light.

Personally I've learned that you should always remove smaller inner-nodes or sub-nodes as some people like to call them. basically any of the nodes growing above fans that are not going to get direct light I remove. I try avoiding stripping away fan leaves though as they are the plants solar panels. Unless they are diseased/damaged they stay put and I just snip the little nodes off.

Under lighting will just hit the buds even at the sides and bottom of the canopy with more light. I can say with whole hearted confidence side lighting definitely works.
