Just by looking at your notes

  1. You are at 37c might want to drop that 10-15 points and the same with humidity

They are to hot for sure is my thought…

Thanks. I realize that the temps & humidity are elevated, but I gotta keep the tent sealed. 2 fans attached to roof provide only ventilation when CO2 is flowing.

Can ya get an ac in the room with the tent? Also if you are exchanging air in a tent not sure but doubt Co2 is doing ya any good. I don’t run Co2 so I could be wrong on that. Temps are definitely the issue. Hot air also holds more moisture so just lowering the temps should help lower the rh also some…

No room for AC unit. Feeding nutes day 1, H2O day 2, nothing day 3 ,repeat. EC ~1200 after nutes.
As of Thursday, I stopped CO2/turned on exhaust. Temp now 28c, RH 30. Flushed with ph H2o, EC 725.
Thanks for all the feedback.

Have you grown with coco/perlite before? It can greatly benefit from high frequency fertigation (multiple waterings per day with nutrients included). It also dries out really fast if your not watering, every third day when you don’t water your plant is going to have a very hard time keeping up with the temps. If possible I would try to even out your feeding schedule so they receive a consistent dose of nutrients and water everyday with less fluctuation.

I should hav mentioned this in my original post, this is my second grow & 1st in coco. My 1st grow was in soil, same setup. I used SOG (5 plants) with bag seed. Harvested 1.5 liters of loose, airy buds.
