Absolutely, just make sure the heat is controlled, Red and Blue light will be absorbed 80-90% in the first layers of leaves (top down), Green light is designed to penetrate deeper into the canopy and is responsible for the large that develops but without Red & Blue all you will get is lackluster popcorn nugs.
The optimal ratio for photosynthesis is RBG 1:2:1
Green although required, it is required in small doses, too high concentrations of green in the "full spectrum" can have negative effects, if you add side supplemental lighting, add Blurple to prevent all the greens from meeting in the middle.

it will help.. prolly better with led strips or soemthing diy, but it'll shine on things that don't get enough light so it will help in those areas.
Anything light not hitting top of leaves will be attenuated. The chlorophyl is significantly less concentrated and deeper in the tissue from that angle. Light that hits under the leaves is less effective than light that hits top of leaves... technically any green surface on plant is capable of photosynthesis, but this ain't a palo verde tree, either (spelling?).
So, becareful of adding too much to canopy, and try best to hit tops of leaves where you can... it'll be less efficient use of watts, but if the results warrant the extra electricity, can't argue with it. trial and error...

I've never tried this with a light that big but I'm sure you could if the plants can handle it and have the demand for it.
I've personally hung GE horticulture 40w 2ft bar lights along the the sides during bloom for a sativa run I did and it worked wonders.
Good luck.

More the light the better, as long as you have your temp humidity and other parameters in check you can push the PPFD to over 1800 if ya want the higher the DLI the better

Eyeball and advise on my set up, and is this seedling stretching?Is my set up good until my humidifier comes? (using inflow air from in-line fan with a tray of water for humidity for now).
I set up an additional light because I was concerned that this bad boy was stretching and want to provide some extra light for lower canopy later.

Is this enough? 2 mars hydro 600 TS or 200 watts of led in a 24x24x36 tent,Using a 24x24x36 tent, I have 1 mars 600 ts (100 watts) in there for one plant. I’m going to throw another mars 600 in there as well and grow amnesia haze with my northern lights. I have good ventilation, will this be enough wattage or should I get some CFLs for under canopylightSetup. Lighting

Anyone affiliated with Mars Hydro? Very disappointed with customer serviceMy TS 1000’s controller/driver crapped the bed. Contacted customer support, told them the issue, they diagnosed based on videos i send, and was told they were sending replacement parts. 2 weeks later, no email confirmation and no reply to my previous 2 emails sent a week apart.Setup.

Longer Light Cycle - Mid BloomIs changing the light cycle of an autoflower from 18/6 to 20/4 in mid flower too stressful? Doing so would bump my DLI enough to keep my existing light through harvest. She sleeps like clockwork but less so now in mid flower. Will she adjust in a couple days to a longer day?Week 8
