A few points:

• Keeping the soil moist has nothing to do with flowering. This will invite pests and mold! Water to saturation with a little runoff (about 10% runoff) and let the pots dry back until lightweight, allowing the soil top to dry.

• Your plants look like they are stretched and reaching for light. You can either turn up the intensity on your lights a bit, or move the light a little closer to the tops of the plants.

• The conditions outside of the tent directly affect the conditions inside of the tent because we pull air into the tent from the room (called the lung room). If you are consistently experiencing dry air inside the tent, then you need a humidifier. Conversely, if you are experiencing too humid air, you may need a dehumidifier. However dehumidifiers typically are located in the lung room so the air drawn into the tent is drier. It quickly becomes obvious that the conditions in your lung room are fairly important and directly contribute to the conditions inside the tent.

• There exists many different controllers available to control temperature and/or humidity by either controlling intake/exhaust fans, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers. Taking some time and reading some growing information geared towards beginners would go a long way here. Having a basic understanding of good growing conditions will enable you to come up with a plan and execute it.
why a lung room why not pull air in from outside or is it for people who live in hotter climates would a lung room be cooler
 
"Lung room" is a term for the room in which your tent is located.

Everyone's setup and situation is different. Pulling air in from outside, for me, would be a last resort. And then it would be heavily filtered. Rain one day, sunny the next, cold this week, hot next week... Outside air varies a lot, even over 24 hours!

Wow thankyou. That's great 👍
 
So, I have adjusted the air in my summerhouse to flow in fresh air.
So hopefully that the intake fan for my plants will feed it through. Added some heat and it's currently at 25 degrees also watered them and turned the humidifier off.
Have i done right? Getting alot of advice and to be honest it's twisting my Mellon lol 😆.

I bet! It's a lot to wrangle and seem daunting at first. Read, study, and ask questions! There are a lot of helpful and knowledgeable folks here that will be happy to help. 🍻

yeah I currently pull cool air from outside but summer is coming and I've not grown in summer for a long time so gonna be a challenge might have to buy another l.e.d and put the hps away

Heat is better managed with LEDs, but heat still builds depending on intensity, brand, and iffin you put the driver outside the tent or not. Winter=driver in the tent / Summer=driver outside the tent.

I do miss my HPS lights, though. 😕
 
I'm about to have to move my driver's out, good call bobcat I would have spaced it after harvest
