Hey man,
Love your setup, Mine is very similair. I have a Co2 question for you.

Right now I have the Co2 tank like yours and I ran the lines all above the lights. I dont have a legit tester besides the stupid pump. Here is my schedule.

Every hour on the hour during the light cycle I turn the Co2 on for 15 min. The charcoal filter also goes off for 30 min. The air is still running through the lights to cool them off but they are all sealed so no Co2 is escaping through there. I was wondering if you think this is a good way to get up to 1500 PPM.

I have 2 secret jardin 120 and I put them together into 1 so that makes an 8x4 set up. It says to run the Co2 for 15 min every hour to achieve proper PPM.

I have Ac which I run every now and then but temps still stay around 78 without the AC during light times but with the ac i can get it down to about 73-75.

I like your meter alot because I saw that it was cheap on ebay. Does that control the PPM for you or does it just turn it on and off. Do you plug the lights into the meter as well or is that for a seperate timer. I do not have a humidifier but humidty is never a problem cause I run the charcoal filter. So do you think I will be ok or should I get that meter.

yea I the controler for 530 so depends on what you think cheap is

my honest oppion of running co2 in a non sealed room is like pissing in the wind

also you may want to do some reading on co2 because whith temp where your are your plants will not use that much co2
need to get temp in the 85-95 degree range

yea I mean the tents are sealed that is not a problem, I think I am just going to have to get the monitor because I want to make sure I am utilizing the expensive equipment i have already bought.

Those plants look like they're on point man. Keep it up. Only thing is, it looks like it's probably pretty hard to manuever yourself around in there trying to feed the plants. If it's not now, it probably will be. If that is the case, I'd recommend going hydro next time around. Being that you've got a couple adjacent rooms, you could even put your resevoir in there depending on what kind of setup you wanted to go with.
