Should i Pair them

well my helix is in for repairs so im operating of a dimmer switch. I wanted to know, i cant start to cycle temps w/o my helix but can i start pairing or will that mess everything up if i pair b4 i start to cycle? Thanks.

you can pair all year long if you want. As cycling temps is not needed to be successful. All i do for temps is keep room in 80s and turn off heat tape at night.

I don't cycle my females - the ambient room temps provide cooler temps in the cooler weather, but the heat tape never changes.
