Looks great. Well researched and put together.

It’s good to run and monitor the tent to know what to expect. It all gets more intense as plants get bigger.

One tip I have in case you don’t know is those sonic humidifiers will spread a fine dust all over everything if using tap water.

I guess it’s the calcium carbonate separating from solution.

I use ro or water from my dehumidifier for humidifiers.

They all stay cleaner too with filtered water.

Even a Brita type filter will help.

^ what he said about the humidifier. don't use tap water. RO water only

Thank you so much. That is a great tip man! I was wondering about that white powder thought its from the plants or something but thanks to you now I know why. I will be looking at filter today. I will post it once I find one that is good!

RO systems are pretty cheap and you can use it for drinking water/plant feeding. IMO Brita filters are next to useless.. If anything get a Zero filter.

I would replace the cable harnesses from those lights, I fashioned some yokes out of #9 ceiling wire, sort of an elongated W shape with your hangar clipping into the centers. It allows more vertical height for your plants if necessary.

I think I’d lower your temp and humidity gauge down to plant level, you’ll get a better idea of what they’re experiencing.

Just an update, and after an extensive research, I bought this iSpring RCC7 High Capacity Under Sink 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filtration System and Ultimate Water Softener- WQA Gold Seal Certified for filtering, and Changed my inline Fan+filter to a 6" I got AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T6, Quiet Inline Duct Booster Fan 6” with Thermostat Speed Control, for Heating Cooling Ventilation and Exhaust, Grow Tents.

Thank you guys for all the cool replies!
