overwaterring looks an issue too... looks like you need better drainage as well... from what I see there very little perlite in your mix. Unless im seeing it wrong

So you keep this outdoors in a shed? What are overnight Temps? You could build a smaller cabinet around it... for the nights... something you could remove during the day when the temps are warmer...
Another thought is depending on the size of the shed and your budget maybe insulate the shed 90% of the way. Helping to keep in the warmth but still allow some to escape to avoid overheating?

Using garden soil in a bucket with no holes
looked up smart pots and the size of tomato plants are 35% bigger in smart pots compared to plastics
Plant Containers: Plastic vs. Fabric

My advice...
First... you need to add more Perlite to your soil mix...
Second... you can use a plastic container or bucket but you MUST BE SURE TO DRILL HOLES IN THE BOTTOM to allow run-off
Third... if you are keeping this plant outdoors in a shed and temperature is a problem then you should either bring it inside to warmer Temps overnight or at the very least figure out some kind of plan to insulate them in the shed if they are not able to be brought inside
Also how big is the shed that you're keeping it in? Maybe buying and running a larger HPS light setup like a 600w would warm the shed up enough to keep the temps at a good place. I have so many questions and those answers are all variables that play important roles in the growth of your plant....
Do you run your lights during the day and they are off at night? If thats the case... maybe run the lights so they come on during the nighttime to combat cold temps....

Thank you very much
I’m going to purchase a 400w or 600w Lumatek ballast soon and have drilled some holes in the bucket.
I ordered air pots from Ali they are see through white
Would the light hitting the see through material effect the roots?
and I forgot to mention I burned some pine and sealed off the tent to release a lot of smoke
Would that be the reason

Overwatering is a option for me there, Seen it as lack of water, i scared myself in the morning lately when saw it, but it used to twist the back of the leaves upside. It remembers me of my overwatering first stages, one of my two plants died, should find pictures in my only thread.
