I am also going to ask Sara @ mars hydro to see if she could help me with some info on if I'm possibly doing something wrong.

Like you advised me to do PW
Backing off on the lights may get you some stretch, that's why branch's along the walls are usually taller than those in the center of a tent.

Yea I could do that just alot of work changing lights back and forth lol maybe I'll rig it up to keep the 192 lights in there while I'm using my 300w panels. And then just unplug and plug the others back in? Sounds logical to me lol
If you have room that's the answer

I'll have to make it work. I don't want to be switching them back and forth if I can just unplug and plug others in and back lol
I know, I've been trying to simplify things for awhile now

Im doing ok.. Pretty sure my beans are dead though.... another problem is that I am trying to run the mars 400 and 300 in the 2x4x6 tent and came home tonight to see the sides of the tent bulging. Inside temp was 97f wtf?? Knew there was going to be a problem and have 3d printed some couplers to run 4" dryer duct to the cooling fans of the lights so they can draw air from outside the tent to help lower the inside temps. Also I dont see where I can upload pictures anymore??? Wassup with that?? Nothing is easy is it?

Do you have an exhaust running out of your tent? What I do is I leave the flaps open at the bottom of the tent. Then I have my exhaust pull out the air and heat. When it pulls air out it will pull fresh cooler air in by the flaps being opened. It creates negative pressure and sucks the fresh air in while blowing hot air out

Im working on the opposite, Using the led cooling fans to draw outside air into the tent and push it out the lower flaps. Just starting it tonight to see how it goes.
Figure the lights are on a timer, they are whats causing the heat, and why not utilize them to circulate the air???

OK but please remember this.... heat rises and you better to run it the other way

Ill see how what I have now works out and if that doesn't help, I will come up with something else...
If i was better at programming I could do something with an arduino to control an exhaust van with varying speeds according to temps... Yea that would be cool
