So far so good! As your plants get bigger, I suggest throwing in a couple more fans in there. A small/medium oscillating fan will do you just fine. Is that an HPS light with air cooled reflector and T5s?

Oh yes, throw in an oscillating fan or two. Blowing at the canopy and above it, between lamp and plants.

You have photoperiods and autos in the same tent? What's the plan with them? Setup looks good to me. If possible, use as short and straight connections between filter and lamp, lamp and outlet. So the air flows easier. Good luck growing the ganja 👍
