They look perfectly normal to me. What CFM fan are you using for exhaust? You will probably need a carbon filter if you dont already have one

For a tent like you are doing the most efficient thing you can have is a fan above 170cfm with a carbon filter to exhaust the air. Second ventilation fan for your lights, outside of tent - light - light - fan - exhaust exhaust outside of tent ( attic is better).

sorry I didnt see that it was an 8 inch fan. Thats good around 600cfm. Is your plant to do carbon filter - light - light - fan - out?

i havent hooked up the portable A/C unit yet. Is that cool to put inside tent? Its been getting from 80-85 degrees at the most in the daytime and drops to around 68 at night

It is about to get really hot where i live. It can get up to almost 120 in the summer so i have to get some a/c running in it soon

Temps arent that bad as of yet but when you put in the carbon filter remember your going to lose 25-35% cfm off your fan, this will cause your temps to go up so the portable ac is a good idea. You can put that thing inside the tent if you got the room.

you should be able to pull 2-3lbs off this setup, at .5g per watt your going to get 2.2lbs. You should also consider C02 ive heard great results and lower temps.

I'm probably going to have to pick up the CO2 on the next run already way over what i thought i was going to spend, but thats how it goes there is always something new to get

Ya bro your Veggies are looking good. Temps above 85 degrees slow growth rate and actually close stomata. You'll definitely see a huge increase in yield if you'll be supplementing co2 next round. The best way to deal with heat is inner-cooled hoods pulling in outside air straight over the bulbs without ever touching the plants. Have your co2 kick on at 1000 + ppms when your lights kick on for their 12/12. At night when your lights and co2 shut off, kick on your carbon filter to refresh the air. If you invest in co2 you'll need cooled hoods and a sealed room. You definitely need a dehumidifier if you dont already have one too. Other then that bro your set up is nice! Good luck

2000 watts of hps is a 6x6 area is it 5 400watters or 2-1000 waters??? You veg then
under 2000 wattsseems like a 6' ceiling it's gonna be hot up in that bish? I run 5 400's and a thousand all air cooled in a 12.5x14x10 and it sometimes gets toasty
