demoralized here.....

Air exchange will be next. That SF2000 is going to make things real warm fast. Where's your fans, and exhaust?
 
dirtymike is right. Don't cheap out on exhaust fans. They get loud and break. AC Infinity is the standard and best and really not too much more expensive. You'll also want an in line filter

As it is now, I 'm in a 10'x12' prefab shed that I ran electric to. It also serves as my studio space. I have fans and keep the windows open. I also have a portable AC/Dehumidifier/Fan floor unit. Last winter, I kept warm with a ceramic 400W heater. It kept a baseline 40degrees F on the really cold nights. I have the feeling, the lights will help keep it warm for the day, but I'm thinking what about is how to control the heat loss /ventilation. I don't want to waste energy and was wondering how to best deal with that.
 
UPDATE. Girls are doing well and growing exponentially.

So now, I'm wondering if I should switch to a 12/12 light schedule. My Purple Chemdawg photo is older than my Game Changer autos, yet the younger Game Changers are starting to flower. THe Purple Chemdawg hasn't shown any signs of flowering. Should I go to a 12/12 or should I keep them on an 18/6?
 
For the Purple Chemdawg photo to flower you must change to 12/12s, ok 13/11 might work but 12/12s is for sure.
 
Looking nice! I also have a shed grow I started recently. I would flip it to 12/12, your plants are plenty big. Your seedling/clones should maybe be moved to a different spot staying at 18/6. Make sure to not leak light during that 12 hour of darkness. Good job and good luck!

I put everything on 12/12. I'll figure out something for the seedling/clones tomorrow. THanks.

I got my 24"x24"x48" grow tent with my seedlings and clones in it. I'm a bit confused over all the holes that are in the sides. I figured out the top hole(light cord) the bottom hole(heating pad cord). But the side holes are confusing me. I get that one is for a exhaust hose. But what are the other two for? One is 4" dia. the others are all 6"dia. I'm going to the big box store to get a fan right now until I can afford a nice one. Any and all comments/advice are welcome and thank you.
 
Top hole is traditionally where you run your exhaust duct. Side holes near the top are for whatever you need like cords or you can run ducting from there too. Bottom holes can be used for cords or for more air input. Side flaps are for air input.
 
They are for however you need to use them.
My 2x3x4.5 was built for a closet. It sat in a corner and fit with only a few inches to spare under a shelf. The vents on back, top, and one side were useless to me as they were against a wall. Cables and venting went through the one open side.
6" holes are usually for venting. If you can't use a 6" to vent, the 4" will hold muffin fans and are enough to vent that tent closed, with the light off.
 
SO I rigged it with a 4"exhaust ducting and a small fan we had lying around, duct taped. I'll check later to see if it's really exhausting. My problem now is the light leak out the bottom of the air intake
