I have an amazing discovery that im sure others already know, but here it is.. So i have a tent that is 48x48x72. Well 72 is too high for grown room celing so whats did I do after months of it being in storage and not using it?? Flipped that bitch on her side!!! I put in some extra support for the lights and now have an amsing tent that I will never turn right side up again. I have SOO much room now,, I ordered a 600w cool tube to help out my 400w in there now, its so long in there the 400 dosnt cover my whole tent now so they are in there kinda bunched up until the 600 comes in the mail.
Well for my use I would like all the headroom I can get, so I don't think this is for me. Curious to see some pictures tho when you have it all set up. How did you run the extra support? How tall will your plants be when finished? How close to your lamps? Notice any temp change when you decreased the vertical height of your room?
i keep them low by using only 4-t5s during their stretch, so that's about as tall as they will be about 1 1/2 feet... most are in 3 gal smart pots which have a lower wider profile. they are 18 inches from light.. extra support is just 2 bricks on ground with 2x4 up to main pole, no temp change exhaust and fan keep it between 72-78
