Looking good to start, but I think you might get a little crowded if you go more than a couple of weeks in this setup. I usually run 2 girls in a single 12gal for the first 2 weeks. After that they are fighting for space. I would also add something on top of the yellow plastic top to block light.
Yeah I’ve been thinking of trying to use some panda film to cover the top I was planning on moving them to there own Dutch buckets once I finished it but I’m not sure how well growing inside the shop will be
I’m just guessing but I think in the future you may have air issues with that tank bubbler.
Not enough air at roots will promote root rot.
What’s the gph on air pump ?
I run 6 plants in a 27gal tote. I use 3" net pots, and neoprene collars instead of hydroton. 4 airstones with 950gph air pump.

Yeah it’s the dual out aquarium pump at walmart it’s a stand in for now was looking at the eco plus commercial air it’s a 793 gph and possibly another hlg150 or a Mars hydro
Although I do have a couple questions I’m indeed ventilation fan is stronger then the exhaust fans so it airs my tent up like a bounce house and are t5 tube lights even a thing any more

How is the tote working ? Are you cloning or growing from seedlings to harvests? , I have a similar set up
I started 4 of them from seed and 2 of them were a gift from a friend of mine I started in coco and moved to this after they started to get droopy
this is my set up

Moved from a 2 plant set up to 1 , since recommendation say they might get to close together
