Now before you put any plants in there, go inside and zip it up with the big light off and your eyes closed for 5 minutes (at least) (think happy thoughts)
Then open your eyes and look around the tent... look to see if the seams are light tight and there aren't any light sources from the outside leaking in..
also power strips with lights, and any gadget that has a power on light needs black electrical tape to cover over the light...
Good luck

Already done that thank you
I did that from the inside out and the outside in... Only issue i found is i need to keep passive intake open and light is leaking out due to that.... what can i do ?
Already done that thank you
..light leaking out won't effect the plants so if there isn't anyone with prying eyes then light leaking out of the tent is no big whoop.
...oh, and welcome to the hobby, may your results far exceed your expectations.
peace, bozo
(light leaking in can cause hermies, light leaking out can get you noticed but it won't cause any problems with your plants.)
Nice and clean looking
Agreed.
IMO, a well set up grow space is just as important as good seed stock.
Good luck!
Uh, light leaking out is where light can leak in when the interior lights are off.
...'can' is a big word bro, i explained that light leaking IN can cause problems with the plants and light leaking out will not cause problems with the plants.
...so, as in my own case, if you set your tent up in a spare room that you keep relatively dark there won't be much light in the room to leak into the tent while any light leaking out of the tent will only cause a problem if it draws unwanted attention.
...so telling me 'water is wet' is kind of a waste Captain Obvious, lol.

^^what he said^^
That would be Major Obvious, bozo.
I got a promotion!
Only reason I brought it up because most folks don't realize the opposite is true. What's obvious to you and me is not so obvious to new growers.

Do you have a fresh air intake set up at the bottom?
For veg you could probably get away with opening the rectangular flaps at the bottom, but for flower that might let in light...
It would be easy to do something like what starke posted on the first page of this thread with the light trapped flexible duct intake

R U running your lights during the day of night? If the former, run them at night that is what most folks do in temperate climates. If that doesn't do, an A/C is in order
