Is that lumen per tube or for 2 tubes? No reflector? I think if you have 2 or more strips, they can be used to grow low growing orchids and placing the plants under 10" under light. For a larger plant, you need supplemental "side" light. I don't think tube light is powerful enough to penetrate too far away from the bulb.

Supplemental only, not the only source.

you could always make DIY reflectors from round white plastic guttering and a bit of wood or something similar.

If I use a reflector I'll get mylar film from the local hydroponics shop. There is so much money in growing cannabis it is probably a good idea to do what they do.
