no my hps has a 5x5x7 room for larger plants. since i have violator kush and sensi star i don't plan on downgrading the whole room for dwarf strains. plus i'm about to pop some pk, og and a few other kushes for the big room.
the veg room is on 24/7 now. i just thought 18/6 was better for the autos but leaving it on 24 would be better for the veg/moms. and as for the canopy overlapping i wouldnt let that happen. the lights would be level with each other and the dwarf would simply sit on something to make it taller and closer to the lights. plus the only bigger plants in there will be vegg plants since im using bonsai moms.
it would basically be setup like:
t5 2 foot 4 bulb system here ..................... around 200 watts cfl bloom here
------------------------------------------------- | ---------------
larger veg plants here | bonsai moms here | 2 dwarfs here
the bonsai moms would be kept next to the dwarfs so it should be easier to keep the canopy clear.
the whole room is about 5-6 feet deep so i have the room to do it. i would need to add another tornado pc fan to the room but i can do that. i'm basically wondering if thats enough light to grow some decent dwarfs and if the t5s are gonna put off too much veg light and make them stringey and lankey? and also what dwarfs to grow? the room is only about 2/12 feet wide so something thats not too bushy would be nice.
