Not sure if Iām missing a question but looks like feedback has been given above and full alignment from me on everything stated. Definitely echo the increased lighting and upgrading to 8" vent fan for that size tent.
Iāll just add as well that Iāve been running 3 gallon cheapo grow bags from Amazon in the Spring Pot set-up and they fit very well in the pot socks / trays.

I thought he was looking for suggestions and feedback but I could be wrong. Are the three gallon pots similar in width and not as tall?

Absolutely, they are āalmostā as wide as the typical 5 gallon pots Iāve used and a bit shorter (which is another benefit IMO when it comes to keeping plants lower in the tent). There is a little space between the bag and pot sock which is also nice to be able to peek in and see how the roots are doing.
Here are the ones Iāve been running:

Ok, here is just my take on things 
The 4x8 tent is a nice start. I can do 4 - 5 plants in it depending on where my tent is located. I give a minimum of 2x2 space per plant. Even if you put 6 pots in here. You have to be able to get to them to do some trimming.
I have one 320 light and love it. It will be good for a 2.5 x 4ā area comfortably. It could probably be pushed to cover a 5ā long area if it had to.
I would also recommend the 8" fan. I have ran a 6" and 8" The 6 will do the job. But the 8" lets you pull some volume through a filter. One filter will also be enough for the tent.
I have a 40" long filter. but often wish I had a smaller for the space it takes up. It is lasting forever though.
It sounds like you have a great plant there 
I have a 260 on the left and 320 on the right.

I saw the string of replies, Let me clarify Capt, ā¦
This 4x8 tent would run 6 Photo only. Looking at that 4x8 with the small room on end.
Are you saying the 36" Board width is too narrow to cast flowering capability for 3 of those auto Pot?
Meaning the 2nd board will not be wide enough for the 2nd row of auto pot either? (6 pot set up)
Was thinking 2 lamps independent lift and lower This will not be critical as will grow same strain.
The lamps I originally selected ā¦ Meaning plants need more spacing and the 36" Wide Lamp Board Being too Narrow of a Floor Space?
What Lamps would be the best lighting set up for 6 Auto Pots? inside that 4x8?
The 8" Fan I can see I can see why under buy? Would it be ideal to have one 8" exhaust Fan on each side? I think So. It gets hot here.
Maybe a 4 Banger Autopot system with a Better lamp board. Light intensive, Go Big On 4 as opposed to being under Lit for 6?
All us Stoners never want to be under lit. Me anyway!
Not2 Sureā¦Me eitherā¦My follow up below.
2x2 at a 4 pot set up take the entire tent footprint, Right?
What is best light for 4 autopot inside a 4x8 tent out there right now HLG full spectrum?

My thinking is that in a 4x4 2 260ās work well because I can adjust each 260 individually to my desired height. Like @Not2SureYet was saying a 320 can cover a 5x2.5 area. I would rather have too much light then not enough. Maybe 5 plants in a 4x8 with those lights would do very well. Then the plants can be closer together and the light can be hung where you need them. The rest of the tent couldāve be for fans heater etc. Just a thought.
Yea 4 plants in a row across the 8ft section would be great also. The lights will definitely cover that area.

Iām glad to hear you have the ph in check. In all honesty I would get my reservoir to 5.8 and let it ride. The plant looks like itās loving life at the moment. Plants seem to enjoy auto pots and jacks. Good work brother

I grow a little different thought wise than a lot here. Each of my plants gets 13w total. So under that 260 light I have 2 plants. Under the 320 I have 2 plants at 130w each or 260w for the board.
I grow 4 across the back wall. I can veg more against it. But canāt flower more than 4 my self. Even then I need more room. I use a scrog to help keep the vertical height down. If I do 5 in the big tent next. I will use two 260 lights and a 135.
This is a 4x8 turned into a 2x8 and small plants. There are 2 260 boards @Myfriendis410 built for me

I decided to put two of my plants in their final pot last night. I use airdomes so I line to bottom the best i can with clay pebbles and this round I stacked some plastic golf balls around the airdome to help keep some roots out of it for a little bit. Iāll see how that works. Two more will get planted tonight. It was supposed to be a 6 plant grow but had no luck two times with my blue dream seeds. Kinda disappointed bc blue dream is one of my favorites. Anyway the 5th plant will go into its final pot on Sunday or Monday. I might just top feed it instead of using an auto pot but Iāll see what happens.
