I love your room setup. I rent, but have 2 spare bedrooms(1 if which i have my tent in itself), but would love a real good open, expandable space aside from just the tent. 4x8 in my future. Well, x2 4x4s.

I wanted to make adjustable walls somehow in the room and be able to bring it from 3x3 to 5x5 based on what/how much im growing without major work, but have been slacking on searching ideas. I saw plastor(some sort of lightweight) on wheels for each wall, but couldn't figure out the setup as it was 2012 and i wasn't registering for a user maybe not even there anymore.

4x8' sheets of ridged foam.
 
If you cut the foam sheets a little long you can wedge the in place. You can cover in paint,wallpaper, paneling, etc for discretion. The door could be a large mirror or poster if framing in a door is too obvious or permanent.
 
I won't lie, my skills with building and tools is not much, so I'm not even sure where i would begin. I might need to find the pic i saw again. I definitely am not doing modifications to someone else's house, so whatever a can realisticly do since I've been here 10 years already and hope to stay put for now would be something to ponder.
 
It looks like your space is holding at about 73º? Your plants look really healthy! I've been keeping mine around 80-82º, based on advice of some experienced growers on AFN who believe that with LEDs it's better to have them warmer. Your plants have no issues, mine have plenty, but there are so many variables that there's no way to pin it on just temps (I'm running in soil, for a start...).

What's your light schedule?

Whatever you are doing, it's working!
 
Running the lights on 24 hours at about 80% normal temps are 74-75 and drop lower later in bloom and when close to finish down to 68-70

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone dropping their temps at the end, where did you learn to do that?
 
I heard it sometime ago as it helps with terpenes and brings the colours out in the buds, I only tend to start about 3 weeks before harvest and gradually drop Down and be at the lowest about a week before harvest at about 68

It certainly mimics the seasonal changes, I'm always open to new techniques. When I first started growing I was building my own COB lights, and I contemplated building three sets; one would come on first on the east side of the tent, then later the second one overhead, then later the third on the west side. They would go off in the same order, mimicking the movement of the sun. I got the idea from watching my young plants in my outdoor grow follow the sun across the sky. Logistically, it just wasn't worth trying to replicate that in a tent, and I could find no known benefit beyond my sincere if not misguided attempt to reproduce a natural environment to promote my plants "happiness".

On the other hand, diminishing the temps to preserve or promote terpenes sounds reasonable. Is this something you've done before or is this the trial run?
