Is there a reason i should get say 2 4x4’s instead of a 4x8. I get that for different stages it would be good but would it make sense to have a tent just for clones? Im assuming it is so i have been looking at the vivosun 2in1 tent any feed back on that one is appreciated. Right now i just have my clones on a rack in the same room as my tent.

Haha. You will end up with more grow spaces than you care to think of if you already have available space to use. Many people have a veg tent and a bloom tent. Some having breeding tents. It’s all about what suits your needs.

Multiple = More options!
I have a 4x4 and 2x 2x4’s in the same room and i’ve often been able to run different stages all in the same room without stress.

Agreed with all the above. More options is never a bad thing.
I run a flower room just for photos. Tents, 2x4 for clones/veg, 4x8 for breeding. 2x2 more clones and another 4x8 for the hydro autos. Depending on whats going on, i can use them for what ever the need is at that time.

One thing to consider is how you’ll access the plants.
In a 2x4 tent it’s relatively easy to open the front of the tent and be able to reach all the way to the back.
If you go past 2 feet deep you’ll need to be able to get to the other side of the tent somehow.

Jeez, how many lights do you have and is the cost crazy if you don’t mind me asking? I wanna scale up my grow; ideally a breeding tent, a veg tent big enough to fit a shelf for clones, and a flower tent but I’m scared of the expense.

It’s cheaper to move air and have a single large filter with one big tent. Also dehumidification etc. I’m toying with the idea of having 2 tents vent into one large carbon filter.

@Pigeonman said it best…
Options are always a good thing, and I hate trimming so I wouldn’t want to harvest a full 4x8…
One 4x4, a 3x3 and a clone/seedling cabinet all in one room. I strung a blackout curtain in front of tents to try and eliminate light leaks with varying schedules. Working out well enough…

Hehe, been asked that before. In the flower room I run 2x Rayonled 640w
4x8 for hydro 2x HLG 600 R Spec
4x8 for breeding 2x SpiderFarmer SF4000 450w
The other to small tents both have Maxsisun MF2000 230w each
The electric is up about $150 a month
However, there is also 4 6" fans, 2 19" oscillating, 2 dehus, 2 ac, 2 ac infinity 6" and in the winter heat… Id say that ain’t to bad and I don’t pay it if ya know what I mean

Depends on your needs really, if you’re aiming commercial homegrow I’d say large room and a veg/clone/mom/seedling tent or closet. Just for personal something like a 4x4 flower and 2x4 or 3x3 veg is plenty for even the heaviest smoker, for breeding multiple tents seems like it’d be most convenient.
