Finding a 2x4 in a taller size is a challenge - most stop at 60" tall. Upon pondering this, I realized that a height of five feet means it can slide neatly into most closets because the coat hangar rails are set a little higher than that.
And five feet is not a lot, if you plan on having your fan and filter inside the tent. Your canopy is going to be pressing against the light before you know it.
Taller models I found were a Mars Hydro at 71" (just under six feet). Spider Farmer has a "2x4" advertised that's actually a little larger - like 55" x 27", but it goes to 80" tall. It's advertised as being made of the same 1680D cloth as Gorilla tents and also has a $20 coupon on it at Amazon, making it $159.
The only 2x4s I found that go higher are Gorilla, Goliath (a Gorilla clone that offers the same pricing with less warranty), Octane, and a brand called Ultra Yield. The Gorilla, Goliath, and Octane are all in the $230-250 range, the Ultra Yield is cheaper but there were so many stories about busted zippers in the Amazon comments I figured I'd spend a little more to avoid a potential headache. All of these options use the stronger fabric Gorilla uses.
If I had stuck with The Plan I'd have opted for the Octane, but, alas, the space I thought I had for a 2x4 turned out to only be 47" wide and none of them would fit. Wound up getting a Gorilla 3x3 since Octane doesn't make that size.

So does anyone know how VPD would be affected by the amount of empty space within a grow tent. Is it better to fill that space or leave some extra room to help maintain the humidity and temperature to get that good 1.5 I see recommended a lot. I don't have a great understanding of vpd in general but I would like to make sure that I can adapt as I learn.

I bought the only 2x4x7 I could find on Amazon. Works fine. My original was a 2x4x6 that I outgrew. If you can fit a bigger tent...get a bigger tent.
No idea what brand. It was the only 7foot I saw.
The height is not going to mess anything up. Just gives you breathing room.
