Okay so I had an idea of adding a small 36w led in my 2x2 tent which already have Mars Hydro ts600.
I end up with this, not the best placement but this is only place it would work

Day 45,first grow
And now I'm not sure if it's a good idea, will it be beneficial or maybe even harmful to my plant.
Any thoughts?

Lol
I've the same light but took it out of the plastic and mounted it up beside the TSW 2000 for the ones that was tall and it did help
 
Side lighting does have a positive impact on lower growth. The only issue with your setup is that your side light isnt meant to run in that orientation and COULD have an issue with heat buildup on the upper portion of the light, keep an eye on temps. Also you will need to rotate the plant at least once a day, I would rotate it 1/3 revolution twice a day.
 
Take the board out of the plastic & Angle the light at a 45 degrees.
Il get a pic when home to show you

I had it mounted like this

But then I thought it would be better to hang it on the side cause ts600 covered only one half of the plant if I place them next to each other

Not sure which placement works better

This is almost the exact way I've got my 2nd light fixture hanging at 45 degrees and I rotate my plants a couple times a day to make sure all flower sites are getting lit up.
 
Someone, I believe @Talonxracer has a motorized turntable under his plants.
Yes, I bought one.of those turntables for photography or displays in store windows and used a timer to turn it on to make 1/8 revolution every 7.5 minutes, that's gives you one rev per hour. Having it rotate constantly causes the soil to become VERY compacted from the constant vibrations of the motor/reduction geartrain.
