my daytime temps are like 60-65 and night time temps are like 49-55 is this bad cause the outside temp is getting so low that i am not able to control the low end of the system i really have no room to install a heater nor the money to do so
is there anything i can do to get temps to stay over 50 degrees without buying a heater and thermostat?

Plug the intake hole and watch your temps

Your temps are fine, a little low, but nothing that will hurt the ladies too bad. Especially considering they look like hearty indicas.
Your plants don't look too bound yet, but they could use a bigger container. I found when using coco, i like a 50/50 coco and perlite mix, and i use fabric pots to help combat drainage issues, and to prevent plants from getting rootbound.
Everyone does things differently, so I am just telling you what I do, not what you should or shouldnt do.
My nutes that I use are synthetic, and i do not have to supplement with cal-mag because i use tap water.
Usually I water and feed every 2-3 days depending on the weather and how fast the girls are drinking.
My watering schedule is like this, if using a 1 gallon container, i would first water with 2 gallons plain water, once that has ran through, i would feed until i saw runoff with my Nuted mix, which varies depending on stage of growth.

yeah if i do use coco again i will most likely cut it with ether perlite or vermiculite and bigger pots. i do like the idea of fabric pots too
if i did gro dan chunks in a pot bag can i do this passively and hand water it or is ebb and flow needed for it?

You would be amazed at what you can grow out of a 2 gallon geopot with a coco medium

true well maybe ill try the grodan next time
i really would like a full hydro system but its noisy and a passive method is nice and stealthy
stealth is key in a closet grow
with coco there is mold often maybe its why people use 50% perlite but was wondering if the grodan chunks get the mold to?

HR I just got to top off the tomato nft and i could be good for a day yeah give me a ring later we can plan it out better
just got my first tea brewing and only used a teaspoon of the B and 2 spoons molasses and the worm casting sock.
I do not have a lot of aeration left so not to sure how well it will brew.
if i am doing anything wrong with the tea let me know.

temps is at 69 with the passive hole plugged may have to watch it a bit more to really know for sure but night time temps were a good 60-65 so if daytime go up to 80 ill need to plug the sentinel and fan back on but i am unsure. so if i do leave for a bit then ill just set the sentinel up again and leave it the old way since i know that's stable.
here is some more to look at

Um with that fan off doesnt that shut your scrubber off?
I was thinking you should leave the fan and scrubber running and plug the
Other intake hole, by doing this the vacume from the fan will pull air into
The tent through the vents on the bottom of the tent

yeah i opened them but it means i must remember at night time to keep my room light off cause light seeps in.
the sentinel is only hooked up to the intake fan so the scrubber and outtake fans are all ways running without the sentinel
