Thanks KolorBlind! I just keep turning the pots, like every 24hrs.....and yeah, I finding I do a some temp issues...as you can see in one of my pics, the thermometer reads 83....that with lights on after 5-6 running..sometimes it goes up and down....that's whay I have my cycle on during the night...I do have a cool-tube and another windtunnel6, (409cfm) in-line fan just for the light that I shouldv'e installed BEFORE I started, but got lazy and said one more run with the bare bulb then FOR SURE i'm gonna install it!!!
My exhaust fan is a Windtunnel 6 fan with a Active Air50 Carbon Filter<this thing is HUGE!! but does the job perfectly, BUT I think I may need a higher CFM fan for more NEG. pressure...Which in turn would suck in More cool air...(those flaps of my tent are open but down...should they be taped open for more cool air to come in?<passive air in-take.... I DO have a 6" booster fan sucking in cool fresh air via my portable A/C, 11,000btu...which keeps the room itself around 75 degrees<<maybe replace the booster fan with a stonger in-line fan to bring in MORE of that Cool Air..? Anyways, as far as my flowering footprint..it's 56" x 56" of floor space using a 600HPS....
Man 83F after 5-6 hours of lights on is not bad at all. Dont read too much into the threads that say it HAS to be below 80F or whatever, its not true. Plants take in less C02 the higher the temps get, but until you hit 90F or higher for hours on end you are not going to slow the growth down much if any. Outdoors the temp doesnt matter as much due to the abundance of C02, but indoors anything over 90 and the growth will slow.
Dont know too much about tents so I cant help you there, just make sure that no matter what, no light gets in during lights off. Having an entire batch develop immature seeds due to 1 hermie will piss you off like no other lol.
Things look great man, keep up the good work!
