Whilst using fiber optics to transport the light is a nifty idea, like you mentioned, you have to 'farm' the light on the surface. So that means bringing collectors, making them sturdy enough for the winds and then also going 'outside' to clean them. Might be easier to bring LEDs and something nuclear that also provides a lot of waste heat you can use.
However, if you did user fiber you end up with a light source that's there about half of the time, but plants can grow better with more sunlight. I'm no expert on hydro/LED factory farming so I'll stop there but I'm sure anyone who has grown cannabis would be able to tell you of the advantages to a light source that's highly configurable.
