Thw "extra" reflected light would be miniscule and be of no tangible benefit.
You also run the risk of cooking the stem and killing the plant.
Far better to place a sheet of plywood or heavy cardboard that is painted flat white and place that on the northern side of your plant to reflect light back onto it.

High magnumalessio,
No, the leaves do not work on both sides.
You can use a lamp for the other ours of the day. It doesn't have to be a really big lamp. I used only 60 watts the last few grows.
Just place her inside a white closer because this will reflect light better then tin foil!
Happy Growing! 😋

I'm quite sure your stoned mate
And if your baby plant is a.boy im even more sure that he won't do anything no matter what sun he gets.
however if your baby is a girl then even with 5 or 6 hours sun she won't produce anything great especially if your based in the UK like me
Happy growing can you not try indoor and led lights if you want better results ?happy smoking and its good stuff you got already with the ideas your coming up with so keep smoking hahaha x

Oh you're too funny... yeah I think you're stoned!! But at least you're thinking outside the box and THAT is something super cool!!
The intensity of light helps buds become larger, denser... but plants need more sun than 5 or 6 hours a day simply to grow. You're going to have to find a way (lights?!) to get it more hours a day...
Good luck!

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longerHey everyone,. I need your opinions on whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer. I think I may have trimmed the main stem too much to the side, and I'm a bit worried. The pictures and the video is in my diary if you have a look I'd be glad

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!

Accidentally bent/squished the stem on Pheno #3, is it possible it can bounce back?I was LST'ing the Purple Haze Pheno #3, I accidentally got a bend in the stem and it could have snapped or partially torn, I attached some photos hope these help.

How does late topping effect LST?What would you do to the new tops to avoid them being too much taller than the remaining canopy if you top late (like wk 3)? Connect them to the pot below the topping? above the topping? Chiropractic bend them? I plan to start SCROG in next 2/3wks

When stop LST?First time grower here. Have been doing LST, and it seems to work well. I've just spotted pistols, so she is starting to flower now. So my question is, should I stop LST? Should I remove the (padded) wires? Or, when do I stop? Or should I keep LST until I harvest the flowers?Techniques. LST

Is she too small to LST?After mostly recovering from the transplant I'm wondering if it's time to start training.
It's day 18-19 and she's quick to flower strain so not much time left. I'd start with a simple bend and try and work her into a spiral if time allows. Too soon or not?
