Being a functioning partial paraplegic for over 27 years I have been walking without quadriceps for 26 years. I have to start picking my battles physically. I am am 6ā€™3 275 lbs and have a good reach. So I am also considering that I need to be able to reach in my tent and do work while sitting just outside the door to the tent. Probably going with 4x4 even though the 3x3 would be better. I am going with AC infinity because I want to mount their controller. They donā€™t do height extensions so if I want 80" instead of 71" on the 3x3 I have to use the 4x4. My situation makes me inclined to just keep my small veg area the way it is a tote in my closet and go with a stand alone tent. Anyone else have mobility issues and know any tricks I havenā€™t figured out in mobility around tent growing. Peace.

I used for years a stacker system itā€™s a 40 x 40 x 60 for flowering and some veg
And a 40 x 40 x 30 tent on top

Fit in a 96 in high room but you need to keep plants short

I couldnā€™t climb up there anymore so it had to go

Ya I with you on ā€œits the not being sure would drive me nutsā€ with my ADHD OCD and PTSD. that and I need to set it and forget it besides basic maintenance on equipment and cleaning. Oh any ideas on using something other than 4 rope ratchets on light lowering and raising. Is there anything I can use one hand with or electric. Iā€™m going to have to use one hand for balance when leaning in my if Imā€™ standing. Peace

Iā€™m not sure which ratchets you mean but the ones I have I can raise one handed but not lower.

Iā€™ll try and use lights I donā€™t move up and down. Matter fact I donā€™t move them up and down at all too much

correction the HLG blackbird you have to adjust each of four ropes correct??. I guess I could use something like you have gonna start low anyways and raise as grow progresses.

Ideally that would be my preference one of the reasons I went with the hlg blackbird I donā€™t want to ever have to worry about penetration lol penetration

If you canā€™t figure out a way to effectively move the light you could keep the light in a fixed position and use different sized boxes to get the plants to the proper distance that youā€™d need.

absolutely and that is probably what I will do leave this blackbird all the way up and adjust accordingly

Iā€™ve got a 2 in 1 tentā€¦ the velcro devider is trash and I had to gorilla tape it in to cure light leaks. Mine gives me a 2x2 and 1x2. The 1x2 side is mediocre for clones and seedlings. The last 2 runs I havnt used the small side so ill probably turn it back to a 1 chamber tent when Iā€™m not lazy.

They are lookin good in there, I personally run cheap LEDā€™s in all my tents and have been happy enough with them. I also have a 3x4 2 in 1 tent. I donā€™t use the divider and currently donā€™t use the top shelf in there either. I think they can be pretty handy depending on how you want to use them. I think the best would be to run full veg in there, bigger plants in the 3x3 area and seedlings/clones and smaller plants on the floor/shelf of the smalls section. That or having a dedicated flower tent so you can seed/clone and veg some plants in the small section on the floor and shelf, then have the 3x3 area with a number of autos going.

Looks good. I think you will be ok. Get some tinfoil or Home Depot has the silver insulation for around 45$. You can use thumbtacks. I see you got panel. I would just put them in the cracks so you wouldnā€™t get in trouble would you landlord. You donā€™t need many to hold them up. HLG 100r are great add inā€™s. The lights are light weight. I think you can grow some nice plants with the light. I know you will have a good grow. Some good people here.
