I've been growing in a sunhut, and having various unidentified problems over the course of several grows. My sunhut is one of the older, silver lined models, with green trim.
Every grow in the tent seems to start out strong, then tapper off.
Yesterday I did a marathon transplanting session.The first several plants got moved outside, because there wasn't any room in the tent. After several hours outside, I went to check on the plants, and I was surprised to see that they had perked up considerably once moved outside.
I think part of the problem is that I've had the house shut up tight because of the heat. The tent is in the air conditioned part of the house, and has been closed to the outside for a few weeks. I opened up the house, and kept it open all night. The fresh air did seem to help the plants, but the ones that spent the night outside look WAY better.
I have good(I think) ventilation for the tent. A 6" maxfan, pulling through a can66 to exhaust hot/stale air, and a 16" oscillating fan for movement. I was running an intake fan as well, but is was causing problems. The exhaust fan seems to work fine by itself.
Normally, I have the house open to the outside, but this summer has been stupid hot. I seem to experience unidentified problems either way, but it's more noticeable with the house all closed up.
I'm wondering if my problem is air movement, of if maybe I have a "toxic" tent. Here's the indoor plants:
and the outdoor:
Remember, all these plants were in the same tent until yesterday afternoon. The outside plants were re-potted and placed in the yard. They spent the evening outdoors, while the inside plants went back in the tent. I made sure the room the tent sits in had strong air exchange with the outside, all night long. I've still got the house open at the moment. The outside plants are all "reaching" for the sun, while the indoor leaves are flat and listless.
Is there a way to tell if it's lack of co2 or something worse? Any ideas???
I need to solve this, as I can't put all the plants outside.

I replaced it with a gorilla tent, and 1 week later, my plants mostly look really good. Better than they ever did in the old tent.
