Yes that would be a problem, having a dimmer makes things easier

Do it. It will only benifit your below canopey growth, as long as you can keep your temps in check blast the whole plant with as much light as you can get. My HLG massivley and my adding somewhat outpreform my ts's so Im not gonna dim my better lights to replace them with lesser light. I'm not bitchen the MH TS line are perfectly fine lights, just not as good as my other options

It worked for me.

I used my XS 1500 to light "the front row" for this grow. The plant in the picture was one of my last auto grows. My experience with autos is that they just get really big and unmanageable. The grow after this one ended up at 4'+ so I switched to photos.

Well i wish i had that problem lol Yes i can see you have a jungle in there i am amazed at the results of DWC. i grow in peat based mediums and coco/perlite so my yeilds are modest. I have been running perpetual auto grows in 2x 3/3s 4 in each which works well and ive always got a single photoperiod in a 2/2 its great to have both and to be able to switch things up i am space restricted and in australia its still very illeagle to cultivate. DWC looks like the way to go.

I have a strawberry cheese photo in the 2/2 2 weeks after flip atm and some pinneappple express autos at 3 and a half weeks. Ill side light the chem dog autos in the other tent as they are a few weeks from finishing. Your info on lighting and lux meters has definately benefited my grows thankyou! now i think i must make the transition to DWC. in australia we have very limited options for soil or decent peat based mediums im stuck with canna terra professional or coco perllite.
