Folks I am debating between a couple size tents. My closet is 10ft x just under 8ft. Standard 8 ft ceiling with attic access for venting. Just under 8ft wide pisses me off because original thought was a 4x8. Ok I have been granted the back part of the closet that is just shy of 8 ft and up to 4 ish ft in depth leaving us ample closet space. I plan to use ONA buckets when tent(s) are open. Inside carbon filtered yada yada back to size. So originally I was thinking Hydrohuts 4x6 that is 56" x 78" x 84" so in stoner American terms 4ft 8 inches x 6ft 6 inches x 7ft tall. This was the largest for my space unless I hacked a 4x8. So that said I was thinking a 4x4 gorilla with an extension to 7ft 11in. I am pretty sold on the Area 51 XGS-190 LED Grow Light. They are pricey so I can only get one now but plan on more LEDs after I get more experience under my belt. So the coverage max coverage is 39in but suggested at 32in. So 4x4 seems reasonable knowing I won't cover the complete tent and a 3x3 bothers me not being an even number. Yes I'm OCD in many ways. So the lure to the 4x4 was that was the only space I have for the LED chosen and lastly adding more tents later are more easily found in 2 ft increments to keep uniformity in my room or future room. So 4x4 gorilla up to 7'11 or the roughly 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 7 and add another LED later. First grow so keepin it simple and soil growin. Money isn't an issue but I want to purchase wisely as my garden will likely grow in the future.

Buy 2 and run a 4 plant perpetual, a 4x4 for flower and a 3x3 for veg. Have your electric behind the 3x3 for easy access and keep the fronts flush. Duct tape the passive intakes that face each other shut and open the others up. Put a 90 degree bend in your ducting and run it all with 1 6" exhaust fan/carbon filter. Good to go

I read this about 3 times lol. My mind isn't grasping the bend section. I can probably find a pic somewhere. I do like the 3x3 add and putting the electric behind it. Thank you much kind sir.

You can duct the 2 tents together so u can run them both off of 1 exhaust fan, but if you use straight ducting the light from your veg tent will fuck up your flower tent because the light has a straight shot into ur flower tent, if you put a bend in your ducting you wont have a light leak in your ducting. Light doesnt bend around corners very well. Follow me?

Solid advice. Perpetual is great if you're looking for uninterrupted flowering! Have to take care of cleanliness on the fly to avoid pests and unwanted visitors though. Good luck geek!
