What are you parameters for automation? Lights in temp range? Lights off temp range? RH for lights on and off?

well for starters i would put those solo cup plants into one gals or something bigger at least and don't let them sit in runoff. Also looks like Ur ph/food is off in the solos too but i would start with a transplant under under a low amount of light and let them get use to the new pot. Not much info but what i could help with

lights on it’s around 73-76f and rh is 55-60% usually and lights off around 65f and 60-65%. I think it has to be the soil because that’s the only thing i changed. vpd is ranging from .8-1.3 but usually is closer to 1.

I don’t think it’s the temps bc i’ve grown in these same temps three years in a row and i’ve honestly gotten great results. Usually they’re super green and happy, never had a plant look like this yet.

thinking of getting a few more clones and starting them off in the 1gals with happy frogs because its worked really well in the past. So far, haven’t had a problem growing indoor till now and I don’t monitor ph or food ill just transplant up. But, I think it has to be the soil because I just used some of the soil other plants were growing in in my backyard. What i’ve done the last few years is start them in 1gal happy frog soil and around 20 days transplant to 3gal then again to 5gal . Then I put them outside late in the summer and they get huge. I don’t let them sit in runoff for more than a hour, if it hasn’t used up the water by then i’ll throw the water out.

You might not be getting the same levels of co2 to the plants inside the tent they received when you were growing more in the open. One of my best plants I've grown indoors was started in a corner of our house with a couple of windows plus my light hanging over it. No tent, no added heat other than the central heating system. I didn't even have her on a timer I'd turn the light on first thing in the morning and then turn it off when we went to bed. On average she got maybe 16 hours light per day. Another Idea is the reflective lining of the tent might be to much for your plants, sometimes they will try to hide from the light if they are getting to much. Good luck!

Could be! But I did have the closet door shut almost always. And I used foam noodles under the door so it wouldn’t smell out of the closet into my room. When i would open the door it smelled like a whole new ecosystem and u could feel the humidity! Something about growing them outdoors makes them grow so healthy.

Yeah its best to exhaust the heated air and be bringing in fresh stuff, its tough to do with leds, more light less heat. I've got my tent inside a spare bedroom with a oil filled radiator running on low. Total watts with the light, fans and heater is a little over 700 currently. I should add that the light is only running a little over 100 watts currently. Almost makes you want to run a 600 watt MH/HPS and not have to worry about the heat.

You in a legal state or backwards thinking state? If backwards then you are gonna need a carbon filter if you don't already have one.

Ambient Temperatures
Ambient temperature is the temperature your growing space sits at. It's affected by external factors like the temperature outside, as well as internal factors like the heat (or lack of) coming from your grow light.
Temperatures inside of your garden play a big role in how well your plants breathe and absorb nutrients. The ambient temperature of your grow room plays a huge factor into the humidity level in it, which will affect how much your plants will sweat, absorb nutrients, and ultimately grow. Excessive heat will make your plants breathe and lose water quickly, while excessively low temperatures will slow down the absorption of nutrients, stunt growth, and can lead to moisture build-up (and all the problems that come with it). Photosynthesis in plants can only be achieved at certain temperatures, so even if the humidity of your growing space allows your plants to breathe properly, a bad temperature may not allow for your plants to convert nutrients into usable energy for your plant to grow. Your plants are constantly trying to grow, and when temperatures are off it makes it difficult for the plant to do so. No matter if your plants like it tropical or cool and dry, knowing the ambient temperature of your growing space is important in making sure your plants are getting what they need to convert nutrients into usable food. That includes making sure the temp in your room isn't affecting the temperature of your water or medium temperatures. Common grow room temperatures include (but are not limited to):

When i said I had the door closed that was for my last grow, this time around i have a carbon filter everything the 3x3 ac infinity kit includes and i leave the door open now. So with my previous grows i didn’t have the tent so the door was always shut, and the plants loved it.
