I hate to sound so negative, but while 2 tents is definitely more versatile than one, it does mean you'd need two fan and filter sets to control smell if that's an issue...

What if you had a strong enough fan and filter and used ducting to connect the two tents. I'd think that would be sufficient..

I'm in a 4x4x2 and my fan could handle running another tent if I ran duct..

Yeah I thought this at the time of writing. It could work and I actually have considered it myself. Couple of things make it overall worse than doing 2 fans and 2 filters.

If you combine two filtered exhausts to one external fan, you have to run the fan twice as hard, so more noise, and if you wanted auto fan control, you'd only be able to use a temp probe output from one tent to control the fan speed for both.

You could run them in series with one filter at the end, but you'd be dumping heat and moisture from the first tent into the second, so also not optimal.

Honestly if I were you. I would ditch the 2nd plant, remove the lights. Set up your new grow light and do a reset back to VEG Week 1.
It takes me a day or two with good indoor lighting to get where you're at in 3 weeks .... Something to consider.


Welcome to forums, I hope you like it here! Best of luck!

I took your advice and ditched the second plant. I still have now it’s just outside hopefully it won’t die on me. I took the main plant raised the lights slightly because the leaves at the top were starting to light burn.
