whoa!!! you went from an apt to a mansion!!!
take some time to make sure your parameters are all the same and consistent. in that space you can make different "zones" and have wetter/dryer side a cooler/warmer side. i would make them perpendicular so you have a warmer dry and warm wet and vice versa
congrats on the upgrade

Thanks for the kind words and the advice. I will look into making zones at some point. Right now I'm working on raising the temps a few more degrees. My high temp has dropped 10° and it has me watching everything closely. I probably need to get a couple more thermometers and check temps in different areas. The fans move air around without being forceful. I have made a shady area for plants newly transplanted into SH that sits on a heat mat. This is a slow work in progress. Any tips are always considered.

I found a video from a guy who has an indoor grow tent pretty much the same size as mine. It gives a very nice tour of the tent and all the gadgets he uses to create and maintain his growing environment. I have since added a heater and day/night control. My day/night temps are now 83/68 f with humidity of 60-70%. Here's the video link.
