What size tent? What kind of lamp? HID? LED? What wattage? Is your tent properly ventilated with an exhaust and passive intake? Get specific and I can help.

The tents size is 36" x 20" x 5' and the light is Apollo Horticulture 250Watt CFL. And no I got no proper vents or fans as of now. just house fans im using. there are web links of the items I got in the post..

Ok, well, you might want to look into an extraction fan (at least). Those tents heat up so easily. I think you could probably get away with 3 or 4, 3 gallon pots under a light that size.

Get a 6' inline or booster fan. Something with at least 240cfm. Idk, look on eBay or amazon. Ideal temps are 72-76F, and 50-60%RH. Good luck.

Not really as important as temp control and ventilation. If it's to hot even run anything in the tent, strain and medium don't really matter.
The only questions he asked were how many plants and how far away should the light be. You didn't address either. And you were quick to assume he didn't know what ventilation was and asked about the tent and bulb that he had provided links to. Lol

I don't waste my time with links. And, I was getting to his other questions. I did adress plant count. But, I can see that you are sort of an asshole. So, you can take it from here. lol

Since fickle isn't going to address the question (singular) I missed, I'll just go ahead and answer for him. Try and keep your 250w at least 6' away from the canopy.
