Try it, but mind the other issues, temps and nutes. Do some search to confirm.

yeah
i have couple mothers year-s old under the same light, youst wander how responds on switching lights, from low-high-low.

resistance to light stress is in the genes I'd say...if it's from a solid gene pool that shouldn't be a problem...the plant will just speed or slow her growth ratio adapting to light intensity...in nature light is always changing...good luck...

bonsai moms are sweet! moving the light source from t5/mh/t5 won't hurt anything, just affects their growth rate.
