So much info I would like to express . Too many words ! Asks more questions if u got em!
to force ur plants to get all ur light more move ur pots on a rotational move of 90-180 degrees everyday and use bamboo vs trelllis
In a tent it does have a few pro’s. reflection and walls of that are super close . now to limit their size but also make sure u can fit 10 np use 1/2-2 gal pots , if the run isn’t a straight to flower I would do 2-3 stage up pot . Meaning go from party cup size to 1 hal to final . Up pot em to next stage when u see roots on bottom
And intill I get to final pot make sure to let pot dry up tillAlmost too to “too dry” so ur roots search and expand ( one of bugged tnistakes is not letting ur roots search ) I would suggest pure coco vs anything with perlite and than add rice hulls instead of perlite ( like 5-10 % of ur medium) than add worm castings as a good organic Bennie , npk and water retainer .
feed in veg 100-450ppm ( follow feed same as ur light by strength , meaning ppfd 100-450 ppfd aka light strength )
ur hardest battle in a small tent and winter is heat for a led . Instead of investing all ur electric to heating ( and it’s more costly than a/c and lights a lot of the time )
To achieve such have ur grow room as warm as u can get it. Buy a thermometer ( hand gun temp probe with a laser) so u can test the canopy temps aka leaf temp . Some of the most common issues people I’ll have is depend on their grow room controller /monitor to tell them their temps where if u have a temp/rh with probe on the wall or a monitor In The air . If that’s all ur doing That’s not the leaf temp!
leaf temps should be around 78-84, if u can always follow vpd . People like to play god and make their own environment but ur not a plant so they do have their own pref .if you don’t know what vpd is. Read and you’ll have one big key to success and understanding why vpd is so important . Also a good environment monitor(pulse ) can save ur grow . I know it’s saved my ass every round in many ways .
Vpd guide
"Why devote an entire guide to VPD?" you might ask. The answer is that the vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is extremely important for growing plants. VPD helps you identify the correct range of temperature and humidity to aim for in your grow space. With VPD you can achieve the best results while...

if u can achieve above 78f by the time lights turn off u will need min heating even in basement ( goal is 10 degree lower than lights on = 68-74f)
if u need heat after during lights off get a oil heater instead of a electric . The electric version will kill ya on cash
