Drying after harvest in the same tent - do you uninstall your lights?

[onegallongrow]

Hi,
I'm looking for recommendations for what to do with my lights after harvest. I'm hoping that I can keep the lights off and raised at the top, and hang the plants right under. My plants are getting very tall, though; my grow space will be maximized. I am about 2 months from harvest. For any of those who have experience hanging big plants in the same tent you grew them in - did you uninstall the lights? Really hoping I can avoid this.

Let me know, and thank you in advance!

I Guess you can leave it when you remove the pot you get that extra space.
I personally remove it but only because i pack up the tent for the year

Good point about the extra space from the pot, that helps put my mind at ease. I initially feared the tops might touch the ground when upside down from gravity straightening the colas.
This is my first grow in a grow tent, so I’m keeping myself open to another one soon after if the will is there. But damn it is a lot of work! Definitely won’t be rushing into it.
Thanks for your help!

It's feasible with the light in place but a lot easier to rig up hangers without the light interfering.
Remove it if you can, improvise if you can't.

True, but does that get removed before the dry? I was thinking I would keep it intact to make for a dry as slow as possible. If space is limited, I will remove it. I suppose these are assessments I will make along the way.

I think some manual height adjustable bungee cords and string should do the trick
But I guess, it’s not that hard to take the light out, just trying to cut down on labor where I can.
