i just got a gl60(tent) and now my t5's wont fit along the top because they are too long, but i could hang them longways along side of the box. if i put them on the side of the box will that have a negative effect on my plants? or should i just leave them out all together? any help would be appreciated

there was a killer thread about a guy that had built an op in a 55gal plastic barrel (like the ones food stuff comes in to resteraunts) where he had 8 vertical t5's inside it with a hydro bush that was lst'd.. it was pretty nice. he had even figoured out a simple way to cooltube the t5's which i thought was cool as hell... lol cant remember the title of the thread tho.
but verticle t5's will work fine, as long as you surround the plants as much as possible, 360 degree lighting is never a bad thing. then u could hang cfls inside the bush on cords

ok but what if all of my t5s are in 1 ballast and i have other lights all around is that cool?
