Plus you may need floor space for things like a fan or a heater or humidifier or dehumidifier. Or all of them - kidding. Kinda.

Hanging fans really helps with space. I hooked up a friend with this set up from years ago. I used 3/4" EMT, 1" plastic conduit for underground use. The 3/4" EMT will fit inside the 1" plastic. Used "U" bolts 4 each to attach an 18" x 18" x 3/4" wood backer to the 1" plastic conduit. This provides a base for a 12" to 18" fan. Drill hole in center of 3/4" emt about 3/16" from edge. Use these to hang the fan https://www.bing.com/images/search?...rap&selectedindex=0&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=1,2,6
Use these straps to hang the 3/4" EMT from the top of the tent. Slide the 1" underground conduit over the 3/4" EMT. Secure with house clamps. Its adjustable to reach the top of the canopy and can be removed for cleaning. Works great and provided additional grow area in the tent.

Thanks for the tip and taking the time to write all that up!

I almost went that route, but gravity and I have had a real love-hate relationship.

Fucking gravity man; always holding me down. Positive vibes...

I keep my autos around 2’ tall by bending during stretch, when I started my goal was 1 dried oz per plant , I think my expectation today is more like 2 1/2-3 zips and there is room for more weight, but I hold em back on size and pack em in ! Not ideal for sure but I do it anyways . Currently 4 different strains goin , definitely not easy probably not the right choice but again doable,
I’ve found most strains take about 90 days on average breeders 70 never ! The last pic is at day 68 and just finishing stretch! Package says 70 days

Temperature controller to control heat and cooling within a precise range could fit on the list of over-looked items. Here's what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KEYDNKK/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A2EFSDTWMPHWEA&psc=1
