Squeezing space out of my little cutting tent *multistory upgrade :)

trying to stretch my little icle seedling/clone tent (18in x 36in - 18/6hrs, CFL 65 watts) so it houses seedlings/clones and first transplant pots (the tent itself was designed to house a small mother plant). Ideally i wanted to move straight from there to my flower tent (1m x 2m - 12/12hrs, LEDs 385 watts).

So, in a stoned Archimedes moment i took a section from my vertical bud rack/dryer (its too big for me and so there are sections i never use), cut a round hole in the center (to accommodate the cfl light - which is cool to the touch anyways), then zip tied the edges of the dryer rack to the 4 side tent poles (half way up the tent). Sooo ..now i have a hammock-esque platform where the cuttings sit and a lower area for growing 'first pot' plants. One upside is that light isn't blocked from the top of the tent :)
Tempted to drop the cfl wattage in the tent to 45 watts 'red' ..but i don't think i could get away with that

anyways, enjoy the low tech :)

And the beat goes on ...

now moved 65watt cfl(blue) to the top of the tent. The young clones seem a little perplexed at this new sun at their side :) however, they're growing ok. And the plants (in the lower section) are growing up without too much stretch.

Score one for the hammock ..Excelsior!

Good idea. Never thought about that one.. I would try to add a single t5 along each side under the net.. just a thought.
