You'll want to have a nice breeze inside the tent. Enough to get the leaves shaking a little bit. Not too close with the fan though.

I have one inside, not to big ! Don't mind the positioning I took this while re adjusting everything.

Be careful with overwatering them in such big pots. You might be able to wait 4-5 days to water. Their little roots need oxygen and too much water will prevent that. Looking good though!

Thank you for that. I have been wondering about it, and this answers my question. Thank you again!

Bottled water is great, you know its clean. Just gotta remember there's no extra nutrients in it. Most peoples' tap water isn't up to par so bottled or RO water is the way to go

Personally, I go to Canadian tire and fill using there RO water system. Cost me close to nothing and it's clean.

So as long as it's drinking water then your good, but have to add the nutrients that tap water has like calcium and magnesium? I heard that ro water has a ppm of 0 though. Hmm
CKS told me no nutes for 21 days. Had to give diluted organic nutes due to yellowish leaves on 1 of my seedlings. Snapped right out of it. Green again.

At least you have a buffer in soil. I'm a little worried about feeding in coco constantly without any beneficial bacteria or living organisms. Have you tried MammothP? I've been using it but I'm not quite sure it's helping due to the fact I have no comparison. They're pretty generous when it comes to free samples.

At first, I had them vertical with tent, as the guy I got the tent and lights from said to do it, but I learned over time that they should be horizontal and above them. The lights are about 10 inches above the plants, should I lower them?

Keep in mind I am working on getting some new lights. I have 3 sunblasters, so I'm working with what I got. Plan on picking some better ones tomorrow

You can get T5 lights as close as possibility without burning the plant, if you can lower it more, put your hand over your plant to check the heat from the bulbs
Main Light should always be above the plants but those lights are supplements for side lighting so you can put them back in the corners when your plants get bigger
it will help get light to the lower branches that the main light cant reach What main light you going for then mate?

I honestly do not have a lot of money right now, and have found 1 400w MH and 2 200W MH lights with extra bulbs for a really good deal. Ballasts and everything. So I'm thinking of getting that, till I can afford a supreme light.
What's your take?

That will grow you some nice weed
not the most efficient for heat but you will learn to control that as you go along good luck buddy . happy growing .Keep in mind a 1000w led is only $98.
