I had the leds off in the pic that’s my camera flash but they’re 600 watts and it was hot in the tent but I unzipped it to make it stay cool, I turned off one of the lights and they seem to be turning back green. They are my brothers plants and he probably overwatered and sometimes underwaters

They look very wet and in too large of a pot both will make the plant go stagnant and stop growing let it dry out a while not bone dry but dryer than what that is I would try to bring my humidity to around 60 to 63 and temps around 80 to promote good evaporation from the pots and plants the yellow is prolly due to shock and will go away with mew growth as long as you let it dry up and start a good watering schedule and volume to plant usage not pot size at this time

600 watts. Is this actual watts pulled from the wall? Or does it just say it's 600 watts on the light?

im just curious, if a big pot makes plants grow stagnant then how do natural plants in the ground with a infinite sized pot grow so large?

I believe its more due to if you overwater the pot the small plant doesnt have enough roots to use up the water in the pot. Then it takes longer to dry out and can cause root rot, damping off, overwatering droop. When their young in larger pot you water only small amt around the stem and move further out as days go by to encourage the roots to grow outward.
In nature theres roots and many organisms in the soil that use the water. Soil drainage etc

+1 for overwatering.
Do you know the pH of the water you're using? I had a similar issue a while ago and turned out my water supply was going between 5.6 and 8.2 pH over a 2 week period. That and me overwatering led to very sick plants.

What is your idea of "hot" in there? With LED some growers run their rooms as hot as 85 °F in veg.

I thought their stomatas close when the temps get over 80F. Ive read that online in a few places.
