Useing a tent as a grow room?

Basically i am wondering if I could use a tent to make an efficient grow room so far I have been using the method of trial and error to grow I am viewing My growing these lovely little guys as kinda of a religious experience so I am more so trying random thing even to start. I have a popcorn tek and then I try random things i find in nature to try and grow off (mainly cause is broke) I did well at work this last pay period and am debating buying 30 + Brf bags and inoculating them with various species (I am going to go with someone elses sterilized product because i am tired of failing 3.50 a bag nbd and I am just ready to get this show on the road now that I manged to get rid off all the rooomates.
i am using a tent in one of the spare bedrooms right now to regulate temperature for germination...I was wondering if down the line I could even use it to hold the humidity and lighting for fruiting?
Looking forward to learning as much as I can.

A martha style green house will run you something like $15 on Ebay.

 Also it sounds like a SGFC is your best bet given how you're cultivating.
For the price of 30BRF bags you could make 100+ of your own PF jars or have a pretty boss bulk setup if you find a good used pressure cooker.
If you're failing at making your own PF jars then the pre made ones probably wont help you any. It's pretty fool proof to steam a jar for 90 minutes with a tight fitting lid so if your grows are failing it's probably part of the procedure after that part.
This is your best bet

Your jars will germinate and colonize just fine in room temperature unless your palace is 60F or less you will be fine. Worry about incubation when you're already having a good setup and need to push the extra speed.

Why would you buy 30+ BRF bags ? That's gonna cost you hundreds of dollars for Substrate + shipping.
Have you ever even grown?

If you're trying to bulk, and have grown before, either do mono-tubs (if you own a PC) or BRF cakes in a SGFC. For $150 you can get enough jars, brf, verm, tubs, and spores to last you a while when just starting out...
As was also said above, if you're getting contams in brf jars, you need to stop and look at what is wrong... Either your syringes are bad from a bad supplier, you're not sterilizing jars properly or not sterilizing the needle inbetween jars.
I've done open air kitchen inoculations with BRF jars back in the day, so i'm curious as to your method.
Also, you wouldn't want to use a tent unless you have an ultra sonic and cool air humidifier. Also you'd need a tent tall enough to have shelves to keep your jars or bags off the ground. With a SGFC, you still need to keep it off the ground, but at least you dont take up as much space. SGFCs can be as large as you want as long as you have enough perlite.
good luck and make sure to keep reading!
