Switching from tents to Rooms

[green_machine_two9er]

I agree… I used the tent structures as well

Idk guys I thought the tents got their strength when the poles get wrapped. What’s wrong with eye hooks that can be plastered over snd repaired later??

There’s always clothes racks. Some come with the ability to adjust height. That, and making sure they can hold at least 40-50lbs should make for a good way to hang a light.

A couple of these in the rafters, just make sure to use a stud finder. 75lb load

Definitely easiest, and most cost effective way me thinks.

I built a wooden rig like a close line, just using scrap and extra 2x4s. My ceiling was in a finished attic type space, and the drywall there had nothing behind it except in the very corners. I build the support, there are wide legs at the bottom obviously, and the attached my light rail to that. I would just use hooks or eyes to the studs if I had the option though.



Edit: This was one of my first indoor grow spaces, don’t judge to harshly, I was just showing a possibility not a work of art or anything.

What tail is this? Remote control?

That’s a light rail attached, it allows a light to travel back and forth, it’s not remote controlled but you can change the speed it travels and the stop times and locations. I only use it now to travel a foot or so, but it helps keep the outside edges of a net with a little extra light and some areas that might have been completely shaded get a different angle with light always changing just a bit.

I like this idea

I used to do that the poor mans way, by tying up string to my cool tubes with a small pulley system and some eye hooks. Then connected the ends up to an oscillating wall mount fan. The fan would pull the lights back and forth (and up/down too like an arc/pendulum swing) about a foot or so.. I would even train the canopies to match the shape, and pull more weight than normal. We'll, until the motor burned out anyway. That 1 foot made a noticeable difference for sure while it lasted.

when i built my sealed room i screwed plywood underneath the floor system of the house then i framed a fake ceiling underneath out of 2x4's then used r12 insulation and 6 mil vapour barrier then screwed half inch plywood everywhere for backing then drywalled overtop so i could screw anchors anywhere in the future
