Indoor setup

My tent is 88 degrees with my new light. My plants look good besides two yellow spots on two leaves. I’m guessing they need calcium. I haven’t feed them anything besides water I’m the last week because they just recovered from nitrogen toxicity. I’d like to know if I should get a intake fan cause I’m currently just using a fan that I have setup in front of a opening with ducting for fresh air. My light is about 20’ away from the veg plants and 24’ from the seedlings.

Questions:
1. Is my setup okay/ how can I improve?
2. Should I feed my plants? The runoff is 1000+ppm
3. Do I need a in-line fan?
4. How many plants should I have under this light? I currently have 2 in veg and 4 seedlings.
5. Should I let my plants recover more before flower and if so how long?

My indoor setup:
16x8x4x tent
Maxsisun PB4000 LED
Inline carbon filter
Two fans
Two fans
dehumidifier
Humidifier
Heater

For the inline fan/ducting , is that 4"?? For that size room/tent you need 8" at least. My on that light is its good for those two plants vegging and the seedlings but don't think it can handle more than 6 full plants . With the room you have I'd get another light if you want to do more plants. As for the temp, I run quantum/LED as well. Leaf Surface temps react differently to led compared to hps ect. Led needs to be 80-85 ambient in my opinion to match that of hps ect. As far as time wise, I'd let it go further, keep tucking as they grow to fill your scrog about 70-75%. Then flip. Make sure your in 3gal pots or more before you start filling that scrog . If not transplant now. I keep my temps rh-- 84/74* - 70% at the stage your in. :peace::joint:bongsmilie

They’ve been in 5 gallon pots since they where half this size maybe that also helped slowed the growth alone with the nitrogen toxicity they went through. Hopefully they don’t come out Hermes. They’ve got some red stems and I’m pretty sure I’ve pruned the life out of them. Not to mention I split a stem the other day.

I’ve been hearing good things about hps lights and I was thinking about getting one instead of another led. I’m still trying to figure out what would work best. Would I need just one or two and how many watts?

are they Autos? Next round start photos in solo cups to 1gl to finish 3/5gal. Less chance of overwatering/problems.

Plants look good, either droopy from sleep or water. Either way I'd drop that net to the top of the canopy, wait a couple days, start spreading /tucking out colas across the scrog.

Your light pulls 200 watts. I'd get another exact one and stick with led. No hps. I'd get hot/higher electric bill ect. And mixing led/hps is something I haven't done. Up to you tho

I would hook up the inline exhaust fan right up to the filter to pull thru the filter with max power. Also add another inline booster at the end to help pull air down that long hallway. To be honest.. with the filter inside you can just let the air out into the room. No need to run it outside unless it's a faulty filter. The longer the duct either way.. the more power you need to get the air thru it. Put a small bucket of ice outside the port you are pulling your intake from - will make the air cooler that's being pulled in. Doing both should bring the temps down a little.

or better yet.. keep the duct running from the window (With a weather proof vent cover on the outside) and connect that duct to your intake. Set up a smaller duct for the exhaust fan, and just blow that air out into the room the tent is in. Shouldn't have any odors outside the tent.
