The co2 bags are a waste but you have them so leave them in.
The lights, I guess have veg and bloom switches, when they are old enough to take it turn on both switches.
Can you tell us what they are? Often people are drastically underlit in flower with such lighting.
I would of potted into small plastic pots and potted up to final pot when they had a well established root mass.
Tent looks good, nice filter and fan.
What are the circulation fans? Got a link?

Ah, the bags are CO2 bags.
Indeed totally useless.
But you bought them, so if you want to use them at least a bit, put them next to your pots.
Now the CO2 that is produced goes straight into your filter.
If they are at the bottom then at least some CO2 will be absorbed by the leaves.

Id say nice set up but change the lights, never seen anyone happy about the preformance of blurple lights... the co2 bags shouldnt be on your exhaust filter either, OP is right bring them down atleast to canopy height so your leaves will be able to use some of it before your exhaust steals the rest... and if you dont run a Co2 burner as back up those bags wont be enough for that space come flower. You want 4 of them to make a difference in that space, the manufacturer of those bags is reaching to say one of those bags for a 5x5 space, its not enough. 2 per 5x5 and calculate from there, they do work but a burner is reliable and consistant in Co2 output where you will find the bags to vary a lot as Co2 is consumed by your plants. In a couple months Co2 production from the bags will deplete as that fungus fully grows into the substrate, did you inoculate your bags or just hang em? Gotta get the mycellenium into the substrate or it wont produce Co2 just so you know. Good set up though, hope you have better luck with the blurples then most people have.

Unless you have it set to shut off when your exhaust kicks on. My burner has a 24v shut off signal and doesnt run if the Exhaust is turned on by my controller, its an Autopilot Cumulus S50, the 24v signal is plugged inline with exhaust controller.

Yes, but you belong to the 0.0001 % of the growers who have that.
Another thing is: With your exhaust fan off for some time, your climate will also change all of the time. Because the exhaust fan is also meant for controlling heat and humidity. And smell can escape when you turn of your exhaust fan. So switching off your exhaust fan now and then is a really bad idea for most growers.

Yeah you are right about that, i dont expect many people to have invested into most of the equipment i have for my "home grow" as i have but i can have hope for growers everywhere lol, my minisplit and dehumi control my enviro for me so my exhaust coming on and off intermitently is never an issue as the ac and dehumi fix any varying temps or rH values actively and keep the room at a constant temp and in primo vpd.

Yeah totally true, most dont look past lights and a fan, also thanks i appreciate that... saw yours as well and is top notch

Yes i did lol, sorry lots of RIU'ers on here... i have read a lot of your stuff though and i agree with most of it, your regime sounds good and you have solid advice for OP's on here and the room sounds legit from what you have shared about your set up.

Cool, enough light then.
Seen similar at 135w a piece and a lot of disappointed growers, so I always ask.
