If my math is right you have 164 actual watts of light. If you get even half a gram per watt you can yield 82 grams.

Maybe you will pull more than 3 oz? Not bad for a little plant under some home lighting.

You need to get the temps to a max of 26 celcius lights on for any decent quality.

I hooked my AC vent in the house to a 4inch hose and ran it in the tent. And have exhaust blowing out the window to get rid of the smell. But that was the only way here in Alabama to get the temps down. It was 98 degrees yesterday.

Exhaust fan at top of cabinet going at least out of the room the cab is in and a low intake passive vent to being in cooler air from the floor.

And circulation fans between the canopy and lamp pointed up a bit to help keep things moving around and upward. Takes some experimenting to get it right.

I block all heat vents that end up heating my growroom in winter. They are maintained independently with radiator style oil heaters.

Never used that product. You dont want slow release food as you have no control if there is too much. I think that is slow release.

I have grown tomatoes with the regular pink powder miracle grow and that would work at about 25% strength as regular fertilizer.

Maybe someone is more familiar with the bag you show.

Your temps are good. Your humidity is low. For flower that can be a good thing but the plants will transpire more so more care is needed for watering and fertilizing. Err on the side of lighter strength nute mix to be safe.

I would get a humidifier and shoot for 50%. Higher is good for younger plants and clones. But i see many growers adapt and do great out west with no humidity really. The plants adapt.

I can easily make humidity go up by turning the exact fan down. Like I said I’m in Alabama 97 degrees and 78% humidity EVERY DAMN DAY. It sucks
