It’s such a pain to do anything to the plants, like lollypoping or defoliating, hell even watering. If I had a bigger tent like yours I could walk right in and around the plants.
I’ve got a 3x3 tent I use for veg then I tiny little propagation 2x2 tent I use for seedlings and clones. Unfortunately the room I have my tents in has a bulkhead going across my ceiling so I’ve got limited space where the ceiling is over 7 feet.
I hear you with defoliation, even an 8x8 that's packed with plants is tricky. I use 16 autopots, and have 1 spare. Close my reservior valves and use the extra tray to bring plants out of the tent and defoliate 1 at a time outside of the tent. This grow I got lazy, only defoliated the sativa side so my indicas are crazy leafy now. I should probably remove a bunch but they look so damn nice.
Sativa side
5 pots Ambrosia, 2 super silver haze, one bag seed, (2 bluelemon x bagseed are in normal pots with blumats)
indica side
2 pots Bc god bud, 2 Rockstar, 2 blue cheese x god's green crack, 2 blueberry
