We just had crazy 2 days. First, I thought its gonna be good to rise the pots on a carton box... Then I thoughts it's gonna be even better to water the plant until it starts dripping from the bottom and I took a nap. Disaster. I have some cheap plastic pots that drain the water pretty slow and when I woke up from my nap, the box was bend and tent had a lot of water on the ground. I fixed the problem and I put the pots on top of upside pots. But today I set the lamp to 400W, Fat Banana was defo stretching for more "sun". Day after that, I thoughts that maybe it's gonna be good if she stretch a little. I set up a fan blowing on her every now and then and I go to sleep. Next day I found her laying on the ground, so I had to put extra soil around the stem so she don't break. You can see on pictures from Day 8, she is little bit to the left, a bit to the right. She literally just LST herself. It was funny to see how fast she get up after that accident (see Day 7 pics). Edit from 01/05/2024 or from 05/01/2024 for USA weed enjoyers. Before I was talking about Fat Banana stretching for more light and I gave some to her she respond very good to that. Currently I'm blasting 400W at them from 6am to 11pm. Temps are hot outside generally so inside the tent I have 32C and below. I thought It's maybe a little bit too much for them but they seems to not give a single fuck and they pray everyday for more :) Another thing that I'm worry about is humidity. I never drops below 40% and it sits usually at around 42-44%. I'm putting wet cloth next to the plant for that extra moisture but Im not sure If that's gonna be enough with 3-5 more plants and 600W. Tomorrow Im going for more soil and Im gonna fill up the tent with pots. Originally I was thinking about 9 plants, because that's how many pots will fit there but now Im thinking about 5-6 because of space around. It's gonna be pain in the ass to work around 9 flowers in super crowdy space. Also, these freaking 18L pots I have, they hold 25L of soil no problem. Edit from 03 May 2024 Last two days plants are praying, that's it. I'm just watching. 32C and humidity drops to 30-35% because I close the tent more than it was before.

@emanresU, funny I also have the same problems (temp and humidity). my lights turn off at noon and then turn on in the afternoon, so that the lamp is off when the sun and temp are the highest. Still did reach 28°C at one point. Same for my 40-50% humidity. Here I just gave up besides having the plants covered with an improvised water bottle Humidity dome half of the day. Waterbucket with a wet towel did help a bit, but I did remove it - scared of mold and such things.
