Hi all, and thanks for the read in advance!
This is my first grow, and I was hoping to get some feedback on from the masters ;)
I have a mother keep grow tent/kit from HTG(high tech growers)
Specs are as follows
51.5"Long x 22.5"Wide x 48.5"Tall "Mother Keeper" Grow Tent
4 ft. 4 Lamp High Output T5 Grow Light
Four 5400K T5 High Output Grow Bulbs
6" Metal Flange
6" Inline Duct Fan (for air ventilation)
6" Clip-On fan (for air circulation)
Thermometer/Hygrometer
Set of Hi-Lo light hangers

I realized right away after ordering my tent that the height may be an issue, but after recieving the tent and doing some jimmy rigging on the hangers, I'm slighty less troubled with the space I'm provided with.
Instead of your normal hanging method, I wrapped the hangers around the two top cross bars and by doing so i allowed my light system to go all the way to the top, not wasting any space.

Realizing it was still rather short I read up on topping, and I'm hoping I can manage to get a nice grow in my tent with those methods.
I'm trying to keep the veg time as low as possible as well.

I'm currently using my light on an 18/6 cycle.

After they outgrow the solo cups i was intending to plant the females in 2 gallon nursery pots, I can fit ten pots inside the tent comfortably.
If i have any left over, I was gonna grow them out of the tent with a CFL and try to hermie them for moar seeds.

One of the main issues I've had so far is temperature and humidity control.
With my lights on, regardless of height my hydrometer reads 80-90 degrees F
I'm beginning to think that's not a literal reading, so any feedback on that would be great.

I also need some help on the cycles, and how i should go about keeping my plants short and bushy, rather than tall and skinny.
Thanks, and i guess because this is my first post, I should say hello, and thanks to all the people whose posts I've read up to this point.
