Hello all. Looking to try my first indoor grow but have limited space so I’m stuck with a 63 inch high ac infinty tent
I’m going to try and mount the filer and exhaust fan vertically on the floor of the tent to some save space but either way I’m going to be height restricted.
So in addition to heavy LST and branch tie down was wondering if there is one brand of light that hypothetically works better than the other closer to the canopy. In other words allows for closer canopy place,ent. My gut says the boards are probably similar, but was wondering if say a ChilLed bar light or green sky 180 would dobetter in close quarters ?
The tent is 3 x 20” by 62” height . Obviously I’ll need a dimmable model.
Other thoughts are the
sonofarm 2000 (I use the 1000 for starting my outdoors and plants love it)
If heat management is a problem, be sure to get a product with high efficiency diodes. Lesser efficient diodes put off more heat. Samsung LM301 series diodes would be the best choice.
You won’t want you’re exhausting on the floor fresh air comes in down low old air goes out up high with the heat I would definitely say HLG , I’ve read a lot of good things on the growth light science lites they look pretty good
Thanks all for the replies thus far appreciate it.
Less concerned with heat as opposed to leafy burn….eg getting that balance between maximum light v height and leaf damage
Check out ChilLED Tech lighting. They specifically sell LEDs designed to run cool. I think @HappyHydroGrower has run a couple plants under them and they were beautiful.
Cooler operations = closer to the canopy without stressing them out. A quality light will be dimmable (HLG, Chilled) so you don’t cause light burn via intensity of light, and heat mitigation will do the same.
Can hook the fan and filter outside the tent to keep the inside space available. Google search tent setups with fans and filters installed outside the tents. U’ll get some ideas there to visualize ur area better.
I mean, learning different techniques to make the most out of the space you have, will help maximize your grow.
Some plants, (photos) will grow short and bushy whereas others may grow a little more leggy. Most I’ve seen can be controlled with good lights and techniques. “Don’t do as I do, Do s I say”…lol No expert here but am a working progress.
Scrogging can be a challenge for newer growers but with a little patience, it will pay off big time. You may even find it rather easy.
Growing this ILGM WW reg. seed, she remained as a low growing plant.
With your limited space, keep the fan and filter outside of the tent. I have a shorter tent that I do this with. It works great. I just have the filter on the floor outside the tent and the fan right on top of it. The flexible duct work runs right to the top of the tent and is sucking air right where my light is. It keeps it really cool.
