To add lights or not to add lights? That is my question!

I have added three, 4ft single bulb ho t5 lights on the floor of my tent. The top canopy was starving the bottom level of my plants from direct light. So i arranged the lower t5 lights along the bottom of each row of 2 plants. i have had them running in the 18/6 cycle for 3 days now and i am seeing good results. healthy green growth has once again began to form around the lower sections. My worry is, will this cause an issue with my plants durring photosyntheses? And what effect will this have on yield? Plants are 63 days into veg.

why on earth would it bother photosynthesis? photosynthesis occurs when the lights are on, so you're all good.. as far as yield, if anything, i'd think it would increase your yield as you're now getting more light to the lower bud sites which should allow them to fill in much better ime.

I remember overhearing a conversation a while back about how bottom lighting could possibly effect the plants production of oxygen?
