Cheers fella! Glad to be here for sure!Welcome Dutchie, it wouldn't be the same without you.
I think a room is easier to control environment than in a tent. It's more stable in a room sized space.
This is a problem I've often brought to new member's attention. Height often becomes an issue with tents 5' (160cm) or less in height. These are generally only useful from seed to veg unless you grow a SCRoG. Tents deeper than 30" force you to position the tent so you can access your plants from both the front and rear, or move your plants for maintenance.One thing I imagine I may find a nuisance is just trying to tend to them in a small space like a tent. With my new setup, I made sure I have lots of space to work on them all. Sometimes it's nice to just sit with them.
That is what I am thinking that more size means more stable and I found even my little bedroom limiting so I can’t imagine how they make it work in those small tents but apparently, they do to great success.
I grow in a 60cm X 120cm (2' X 4') tent. I live in an older home that's roof tight, but leaks air like a sieve. The environment in my house in summer is not so hot, but very humid. In winter the air is very dry, and cool to downright cold. This is the air source used for my tent. The small tent makes it next to impossible to control the environment in the tent. My tent is located against an outside wall that gets down to about 10°C (50°F) in winter. This caused condensation on the side of the tent, despite the low humidity. That was solved by slipping a sheet of Styrofoam insulation between the wall and the tent.I think a room is easier to control environment than in a tent. It's more stable in a room sized space.

I'm starting to learn that timing your grow(s) is key to making the best of the situation. Starting a grow mid to late summer should give me lots of humidity, and the higher temperatures the plants like from seed through veg; as well as the lower temperatures and humidity they like for flowering.
In a more modern, air-tight home controlling the source air for your tent is much easier. This probably makes it much like growing in a room. A small heater and humidifier will likely give you all the control you need.
If you don't mind I think I will follow along. The four plant legal grow in Canada opens up the opportunity for a new way for this old guy to keep busy and have fun at the same time. Always learning how to max growth the simplest ways. Lots of knowledge here so gonna keep my eyes and ears wide open.
Wouldn't hurt but she's not stretching out any yet.
You could top but might not see anything until she's stretching good.
Those bushy indicas are always tough to train.
Hopefully, I can turn that head of cabbage into coleslaw!!They start out like a head of cabbage.
Just takes time and patience
