It just says 600w led toad brand then it says actual power 125w, should i go back to just using my clamp led lights since my tent is so small? Didn’t have an issue with humidity using them

Yeah you really need extraction in there to help with the humidity, and you need the air exchanged for the health of the plant. That light should be enough for a 2x2 area at most. The plants don't look terrible you likely just need to dial in a few environmental conditions. They need air exchanged, and they need air flow. Look at your temperatures at the canopy level as well, with LED you will be fine anywhere between 78-82 or so at canopy.

You just want a little negative pressure inside the tent, a speed where it is slightly sucking in the sides of the tent. @budofgreen is right with that small of a tent you just want to be careful not to "suck it into a black hole"

take a deep breath and don't sweat it..... I'm on my second grow..... so much better than my first..... though the first crop was wonderful!!!! but, not as much bounty as what the second crop is doing.

I have a calendar that I mark everything on that I do for the plants.
My first grow, I did everything half assed.
I think my best purchases were my fans and the inline duct fan, and carbon filter. <----- how I got the humidity out of the tent

Make sure you get both switches on your light on, so you can take full advantage of your 125w. Right now it looks like you have the "Bloom" diodes switched off, so your only using half of the lights potential.

Can i set This up like this? Then run the duct out the tent from the fan? I’ve seen a couple ways ppl set it up, bo

You will suck that tent into a black hole with that unless you have a controller to turn it down almost all the way. dbz is right about the light IMHO also.

There's a lot of good information on here and some pretty stern folk who won't steer you wrong but ultimately you gotta make your grow work for you. Growing works well with a modular approach. As the weed industry is based on the concept of stealth it has provided many tools to accommodate many lifestyles.

Ventilation 101 - How to Ventilate Your Grow Space

Ventilation is a vital factor in your plant growth. By supplying fresh air from outside your grow tent, you provide CO2 for your plants, driving their photosynthesis. Expelling the air inside will keep temperature and moisture build-up under control, preventing mold and mildew from inhibiting...

You can it up the exhaust any way that you want. If you feel like you will run out of head room, you can install the fan and filter outside of the tent. I personally have my fans installed inside my tents because it helps cut down on the noise from the fan.

That ductwork that came with your fan and filter can be cut to make as many sections of it as you want. I run mine out of the tent similar to what you have pictured, and cut a 3' length off of the ductwork and use that as light trap for a passive intake in one of the lower ports of the tent.

Here is what I did, which is quite lazy but it worked for me. The frame bars support my fan. You could do something similar but just attach your carbon filter to the inlet of your fan.IMG_20201208_094912939.jpgIMG_20201208_094923230.jpg
