Also check that there are no “vampire” draw lights on. Power switch for a power strip? Any small electronic gadget “on” lights. If so, put black tape over them.
Awesome work with the flex seal!!!

and also don’t forget to post pictures of your entire grow room.
@AAA, Power switch light is covered, so no light from any of the equipment. The Room is so dark, so it doesn’t take a good photo., but I will take a photo and post it.
Thank you! As always!
Turn the lights on and take a photo. I would like to see the entire area to know what you are working with. The photo is not to find light leaks.

This is a tent. What you see in the tent is newly prepared soil in the pots. Current seeding is in the other tent, in a gallon size pot in the- smaller tent in another room.
I don’t know if you can see it well or not. Let me know if I can improve the setup in any way.
Thanks,
What size is the flowering tent?
I can tell you right now that those lights are not efficient at all.
Once you let us know the tent size and the size of the “canopy”(area that the plants will occupy) we can get some lighting specialists to help.

The tent size is 10x4x7 and I would say 8x4x7 would be pretty much designated for the plants. Light - bad?

This could be an issue as well. PH for coco should be 5.8

I don’t think they are running 100% coco but it is in the mix of potting soil and perlite…
I’ve used coco in my soil mixes but don’t treat it like coco as it’s only 10-20% of total if that…so not sure Ph of his would be that low…
Just saying

Cheapest way to get something good would probably be two hlg-600 kits. Available assembled from growerslights if assembly is an issue.

I think the price @dbrn32 posted is not assembled.
As anyone here will tell you, Lighting is the number one thing for a good indoor grow.

That’s correct. I believe extra $60 or so to get that kit assembled.

@dbrn32, @AAA RE: Light - Thanks for the suggestion. I will check this out.
@Skydiver, Thanks for the soil - ph. I am using approx 60% general potting soil + 30% Coco + 10% Perlite. I read somewhere that this growing medium, ph should be at 6.00 -6.5 (no more than 6.5) So, I have stick to this ph level.

@THCCBD I would suggest buying one of those lights and use some of your existing lights for the other half of the tent. Then once you have more money and your plants are bigger buy the second one.
I know you plan on a veg and flower tent so once you get your flower tent full with the 2 660 fixtures you could use your old lights for veg until you get enough money to change that tent out.

@AAA, Thanks! A great suggestion and I will do that. The fact that the cost of this light is so high, I have to change out in stage as you mention.
@AAA, @dbrn32 @PurpNGold74, @merlin44 @blackthumbbetty @Myfriendis410
I hope you all be proud of me doing this! 
I tried using a different method to apply the gooey messy ‘flex seal’, I finally able to found the method that worked quite well.
I fixed the light leaking from the thread around the zipper and some pinholes. Whew! … It took too many hours. ~ Here, I am sharing some of the steps in case anyone needs or would like to fix their tents. If Admin thinks I should post this under a separate topic, I can do that too.
