Hello thanks for stopping by. I have just set up two 4x4 tents. One for flower, one for veg.
The flower tent has a hlg 550 v2 rspec and the veg tent has a spectrum kings mothers little helper. I have my 6" T6 ac infinity fan setup to pull air from the flower tent which will have a c02 bag through the charcoal filter and into my veg tent.

I just hung the light in the flower tent 10mins ago but I have a heater, and humidifier. Next I will need to get a de humidifier and in summer months an AC. The veg tent only has young clones and seedlings and is sitting at 80% humidity because I just watered but usualy 65-70% and 20degrees celcius.... so the flower tent no clue it will take some tweaking but those are the numbers for veg

Make sure the light from the veg side does not leak into the flower side in any which way at all. Literally shut off the flower lamp, leave the veg lamp on, get into the flower side and zip it up. Tape up any and all light leaks.
Ok i will do that thank you! ive been around growops my whole life but just as a helper this is my first time leaving the nest so to speak so all advice is greatly appreciated

I can see possible temp issues, but if you get a heater and A/C, then temp is a non issue. Agree, get in the flower tent and zip it up. Couple of the pots look a bit low in media, are you expecting stretch?

I swear I when I finally got set up I ran it for like 3 or 4 days messing with opening and closing ports and turning this fan that way it was ridiculous but worth it when you get dialed in and you don't not to worry about anything anymore

Also does anybody know what the deal with those bags are the CO2 bags I feel like if I hang it in the tent it just gets sucked up so I hang it outside the tent near one of the intakes is this proper procedure? Never use these things before

Usually heat is the only issue in this poorly insulated basement, even in summer it stays cool (not sure how the lights running will effect that) But do you have a heater recomendation because the one i have pulls 1500watts from the wall and is overkill so i leave it outside of the tent, I would like a tower style one that pulls as less as possible watts that i could keep in there. My assumption is that once these 3 gelato clones get put in the flower tent and both tents running all the time the infinity fan will pull the warm air out of the flower tent, into the veg tent keeping both warm

Try to utilize the heat from the veg tent as much as you can

Those 3 on the left are 5 gallons with gelato clones in them, the 3 on the right are 3 galons with autoflower seedlings that i will be training and just using as filler plants on first cycle

My understanding is CO2 bags are meant for when you don't have exhaust. Otherwise its just a waste I would think
This is what I thought so I put them near the intake so that at least passes by the plants on the way up to the scrubber which in theory should work, right?

That's what I love about these damn tents you can open and close this and that and really mess around with it very versatile
