Hey folks. I'm looking at dedicating another room to a full 12 plants with 4 x 1000's on movers. My issue is, I need to leave the room absolutely intact. This means no hanging lights from the ceiling. Has anyone ever seen or built a frame strictly for hanging the gear?

lol, what can be hard about that... get some wood, some screws and an electric drilling machine... cut the wood, drill the holes, make the frame ... make a "cube" frame and attach the light to the it, simplex
or make this prism shape and put it with one side up and the rectangular side down

lol,....I smoke a lot but not quite THAT much,lol. I should have been more specific. I guess I'm wondering if anyone has seen anything or has any ideas that would be better than adding a big wooden frame to the room. I didnt know if there were pre made products out there or whatever, just looking to brainstorm for ideas other than the obvious. Thanks in advance

i was going to recommend this. honestly though he could build about 4 of them from scratch for the price of 1 pre made one. he seems to be concerned with asthtetics though so maybe the metal ones would be better.

I appreciate your suggestions guys. Is it realistic to think you could fit 12, 8 week veg plants in a 12x12 or a 10 x 10 tent???

in a 12x12 grow room with 12 plants, thats 12 sq feet per plant.
If you're in soil, you might be able to get away with that.

Look at heath robinson, though.
He uses that amount of space to grow like 4 plants.

You can do 12, just use your judgement on when to put them in to flower, dont let the 8 weeks veg necessarily be set in stone

Yea, the idea is to get away from cramped, I got ya. I'm more the type to fill it with 6 good sized plants then pack 12 in there. Thanks!

What about putting together a 2" PVC frame with a few extra pipes running along the top?
