Adjust the floor beam to a 3x3' footprint, at a height between 18 - 36" for veg. Then after light deprivation, when the plant wants to flower, adjust the LED panel above the canopy to between 8 - 12" for bloom, and adjust the panel height to find the sweet-spot.
I'm using a cardboard dairy-box (w/ plastic exterior film-laminate) as pot liners under my (6) clones, and letting the cardboard wick-off the overflow water from their first taste of nitrogen (found in Pure-Blend liquid vegging-fert, (1) mil per gal. of water, increasing by (1) mil everyother day until 2-weeks passes, then level-off at 10 mls of veg-fert while still in 1-gal. pots, then on to 15 ml. when they up-can to 7 gal. SmartPots. So....much...fun.
My first grow in the greenhouse will be followed by this first tent grow between Sept 2016 and January 2017.
I dropped the skirts on the greenhouse sides, it wasn't necessary to vent the place.

In the Tent, there was a 4-degree increase in tent temp using a single T-5 grow tube, and two 0.023amp, 8" fans running continuously.
With the LED, there is no heat. My hand is resting on the 3-hr running LED. The temp in the tent decreased, with the two 8" fans running on low-speed, by 2-degrees! Whatttt?
The stool-stand is where I keep my supply of pre-mixed nutes.
Two fans run on low-speed, one an oscillating, and the other a directional floor fan aimed towards the GH ceiling.

I found the correct 6" venting 90's and connector fittings at h.depot. They had the 90's in stock, and I'm ordering the 6", beaded, close-connectors. Two 90's per vent will stop light, + the 6" silver/black thin-walled flex-vent fits over the crimped nipple of the connector and 90-end as well. 6" adjustable vent clamps hold the flex-vent over the beads.

I had to get another tent. This one is a HydroPlanet 60x60x80. No view window, no double-sock. Look at the two opposing 8" interior socks...I have to cut them out, keeping the taped seam intact, the sew that vent sock to the single one you see at the top-right. Ditto for the bottom 8" vent sock. Sewing the other salvaged sock to that one, so each intake and exhaust vent will have double, drawstring vent socks. Buy the one that's used-like new for $121. It's new, and amazon re-packed on premises.
