+1 for MEDS' point. Everything ICMaggers are doing in cabs can be done in tents. The GrowLab seems to be the premier line now (I liked Secret Jardin but I don't see them anymore on BGHydro - maybe discontinued?).
Advantages for tents are cleaner setups, less labor, and possibly even cost depending on how complicated your cab gets. Perhaps most advantageous is the ability to quickly remove a tent and store it in a small space - a problem we all run in to when trying to disassemble, move, and/or store traditional cabinets.
That one looks good soc!
I got this one but I think I like the extra height on that GL80

The first true leaves of my seedlings have a little yellowing along the edges towards the center from where they erupted.
Is this a cause for concern?
Unfortunately, my camera's macro can't get that close.
Ive been trying to water depending on the weight.
try to judge dry vs wet.
maybe you could add more soil - not sure
6*6*7 is at least one-gallon and is bigger than ideal. You can do it, but you would be far better off starting in something smaller and doing another transplant. For example, 16oz cups (3 weeks)-->6in*6in*7in inch pot (2-weeks) --> 3-gallon (a few days and flower) or (2-weeks)-->4-5-gallon (1 week and flower) would be ideal and gets to to roughly the same final container size in roughly the same amount of time.
To understand why consider the way cannabis grows roots. Cannabis roots out and swirl around the sides and bottom of containers leaving a relatively the middle of the container relative uncolonized. This has a number of implications.
First, when you water your young cannabis plant there is going to be a lot of the medium that doesn't contain many roots so it is going to stay wet.
Second, it means that how long a plant has been in a container has a big impact on when you need to transplant, irrespective of the size of the container (within reason). If you start in one-gallon containers you are probably going to want to do a transplant in 1-month anyway.
Third, you can build root mass by allowing the roots to swirl around the sides and bottom of a container and transplanting frequently (every 2-weeks after the first transplant). What is then achieved in the final container are multiple concentric circles of roots and medium which is more or less completely colonized with roots. This wouldn't happen if you just threw a seed in a 3- to 5-gallon pot.
Vegging cannabis is as much about building root mass as it is about what you see above the soil.
