Journal of a Grow Tent grow, looking for advice

:leaf:My setup for the New Year::leaf:

Strawberry haze, Burmese Kush and an unknown strain clone I've recently been given, in a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2.0m Grow Tent with two 150mm axial inline fans. One to pull cool air in from the bottom and the other to move hot air away from the bulb and out of the tent.
The plants were vegged under two 6500k 64W cfl's for around four weeks and have gone under the 600W hps bulb 7 days ago. They lights are set to 18/6 at the moment and I will veg these for at least another four weeks until flower.

They started in 10L grow bags but have now all been planted in 20L pots and have started nutes 3 days ago. The Burmese Kush was not topped but rather tied down when it had 6 healthy looking nodes and since then, countless more heads have sprouted and it looks like a dense bush already. The Strawberry Haze (my pride and joy) was topped and tied down once it had recovered. I will post updated pics soon as I can hardly keep up with how fast they are growing now and they have grown considerably since the pictures 3 days ago.

Temps are consistent at 27C during light hours and it drops to 24C at night. Humidity is sitting at 45-55.

Im looking for some advice on how I can keep my temperatures around this mark when I start flowering though, because I trialed it with an odor sock attached to one of the inline fans and, as I was expecting, the suction dropped off and my temps shot up.
Cnt do without odor control though so clearly I'll have to change something about this.

Any advice/comments/questions welcome

If a simple odor sock is slowing down your airflow too much, you need a much bigger fan. With only 3 plants the odor sock may do the job, but I doubt it. I had one a long time ago and it was really crappy with only 6 plants. Stunk up the whole house from just the veg room.
Hope this helps,
Fred
 
i start nutes the second the pop outta the ground they are prolly stunted from starvation put those cfls back in there over the plants for a cooler spectrum nuke them give em two more weeks then flower imho

edit: feed em with veg food (high n) they are starving
 
IMHO those girls are gonna need to go about another at least 3-4 weeks or so. It will probably take them that long to recover from the small amount of heat stress and the hunger issues and then they need stronger branching systems to support the weight of the coming budz. Is your tent closed up when the temp becomes an issue?
 
idk dude about 3-4 weeks the one looks like its rdy now its just really small with that hps they will get alot taller the cfls will add more green give heavy dosage of nutes 2x water then clean water then every other 2 weeks rdy for flower
