The reason for not using feminized seeds is the strains I choose we’re made custom for me by the grower so the genetics weren’t feminized yet.So why would you not use feminized seeds?

I just picked up a 4x4x78” tent for $55 last week on Amazon it’s a cheap Zazzy brand tent, there not on sale anymore but it’s $78 now at full price,You'd profit in yield if you spend $130 on another tent. I got a 3x3x6' Green Hut tent for $80 with tax. I'll follow the thread and see what you decide to do. Happy Holidays SS
My only reason for not having a second tent at the current moment is space I’m waiting to get more of my grow room arranged to bring in a 3x3 tent to be my flower tent.You'd profit in yield if you spend $130 on another tent.

I have thought of the idea of a second tent for awhile since my last grow I pondered it I will be investing in one as I go along and the amount of plants I popped was only cause of my seeds not being feminized.Your grow is looking really good! I recently cut my grow space in half from a 5x5 (25 square feet) to two smaller AC Infinity Tents (12 square feet), so I’m using the same as you (Controller 69 in a 2x4 and two 2x2 tents). I only grew 4 at a time under my 5x5. The tent exhaust too hot to run that many LEDs (960 watts) in summer since I vent into my grow room.
My flower tent is an ACI 2x4….I found that anything more than two photo plants in 5 gallons (maybe 3 autos in 3-gallon pots) fills up the space sufficiently for me. If you want to maximize your space, a 2-plant SCROG will fill it up (see photo). Being your first grow, Id avoid over-filling your tent. If you do, keep a LOT of air movement around the colas to prevent bud rot. My small 2x2 tent is all AC Infinity using the T22 LED, Controller 69, 11inch sidelights, oscillating fan and ACI humidifier (highly recommended). A slightly larger veg tent (3x3 or 2x4) would be nice because you could easily veg 3 plants in 5 gallon containers.
A few photos….

Picture of 2 5-gallon containers and 1 1-gallon container in 2x2 veg tent. (It gets tight) waiting for flower tent
Picture of plants moved to 2x4 flower tent (looks roomy, but need space for fan and humidifier)
Picture of my first SCROG grow in 2x4 (2 plants can fill the tent with 6 weeks of veg)

I agree with SSgrower on this….a second “veg” tent would allow you to run a flower tent and a veg tent at the same time. This is the route I have taken (2 smaller tents instead of one large tent). The smaller veg tent works great for 2-3 plants in one gallon containers. Once I’m ready to move to 5 gallons, I move them to the flower tent. I have purchased a cheap 2x2 (ViparSpectra ) and an AC Infinity 2x2 tent……there is no comparison….the ACI is far superior in quality.
This is just my experience. Many people run more plants than I do, but I don’t like my garden to be that crowded.
Best of luck….I look forward to following along.
Looking good! What humidifier is that?
