I experimented with a setup like that long ago so I'd love to hear how this works out for you. The side lighting is great to prevent shadowing. I'm not a botanist but I think light that keeps the plant growing upward is good. What I don't know is if there is a downside to causing downward growth. I had good production from side branches that turned and grew downward to the light. I just don't know if they could have been better by keeping the growth always up.
I like 30 watts per square foot (30cm x 30cm) as my personal minimum and love the added yield when I can provide 50 w/ft during flowering. I think if you will do OK with the CFL above like you have and the LED strips on the sides in the top 1/3 or 1/4 of the height.

Marshydro ts600 for a 50x50x100Hi quick question,
Purchasing 50x50x100 tent
Will the marshydro ts600 be ideal for this yes just shy of 2x2.
Im aware the ts1000 is better and has dimmable option but wouldn't that be too powerful for my little 2x2 with a height if only 100cm? Will be from (marshydroled.co.uk)

Wondering if doing another defoliatation would direct more focus to the main sites?
Also I have three other plants that are about 2.5 weeks younger, so I have to keep an 18/6 light schedule. Would I have to switch the flowering plant to 12/12 even though it's an auto?

UV rays - Is it worthSo guys, what are your thoughts about UV light complementation?
Earlier this year, I havested an auto flower, and she dind't bulk up the trich production. I ended up with big flowers but with no effect at all.
I was wondering if that has something to do with my light setup.

'Claws' on tips just after flowering started. Previous answers help - it is a bit worse. I keep a perfect VPD. What should I do? Flower wouldnt fI'm confused. For the first 3w I used LED as instructed 30-40cm, I had ~43cm,100%dim, everything was fine. When the bloom started yellow claws appeared and still there, maybe a bit worse, with 53cm and 75%dim. Mostly on BPP, one more plant showed her claws today aswell. 😓
