3. Covering and watering plants
You can place some larger plants in your tent. If you are planning to grow seedlings, then you can get some fully-grown plants in your tent too. While planting those threes, you have to make sure that you are keeping enough space between them. Otherwise, they will not be able to have enough water and light.

As a result of spraying or adding water, your plant will get some water as well as the humidity level will go high. It is recommended to give a check each morning whether the humidity level has fallen or not. If you find the humidity level has become down, then you will need to take proper steps.
