Seal the shed with tape or something, add weather stripping to the door and get a dehumidifier?

heat the space & control the RH or grow mold on your plants and in your shed

if the tent is hotter than the air around it....water condenses on it until the temps are equalized, good luck

That's happening because you're running a tent with hot air inside a cold room, it's condensation. Your fix is to seal and insulate the shed, insulate the tent (e.g build a Styrofoam box around the tent so the air around the outside of the tent is not so cold), or both.
