hello guys so im running on some issues since week 3 water takes very long to dry out like 5-7 days... right now im entering week 5 of first flowering phase and im wondering what im doing wrong.Im using a grow tent but it has not ventilation the only ventilation is the carbon filter blowing air hot air outside of the tent and a table fan to keep air moving arround... i was thinking about leaving the front of my tent open would this help? at the moment i got no money to spent just want to make it out for harvest and dont really know what to do... i wanna keep my watering at every 2-3 days so i can do my schedule water-feed-water and over again... im using biobizz light mix and providing with flora trio nutrient without cal mag supply... just want any suggestion would be helpful should i leave my tent completly open? would this help out?

Do you not have vent flaps on the tent? That should be all you need. I open 1 side vent, and my fan / filter sucks the fresh air in, then pushes the warm air out into the room.
As for your watering, pics would help. Also need to know the size of pot, how much water you are putting in, light times etc.

im using 25l fabric pot im putting about almost a gallon at each watering its more like 2.5 liter running viparspectra 450 at 18/6 schedule now that im thinking what u said about watering i think im giving the plants too much water isnt that right? i read that after each half liter of watering i should wait for about 1-2 minutes for the water to come down isnt that right? im not doing that either
i put my warm air of the carbon filter outside of my room so i dont have to deal with high temps and stuff i get about 20-21 celcius at night and 26-28 at day i will lower my temps at week 6 week 7 cause i need to get it to 18-26c if im right

Perlite added to soil prevents soil from drying out fast. It retains water and helps air get to the roots also.
i didnt add any perlite to soil just what was in the bag i think its like 90% soil and 10% perlite... its my 2nd grow i never encountered an error like that im trying to fix it as fast as i can or i will be skipping a week of feeding

Big Pot + Small Plant + 2.5lt = Your issue.
As you say, let her dry out a bit & dial it back a bit on the water.
