2-shelf Rack Pros And Cons?

[Skipper23]

I'm designing a grow and want to utilize the ceiling height which starts to incline at 13'. So I'm thinking 4x4x10 foot high 2-shelf rack using a spydrx plus on each shelf.

Any pros and cons?

I'm familiar with 4'x8' trays on wooden tables with casters under 2 1000w hps using rockwool and drip irrigation.

Also, since there isn't a floor drain the fire prevention bureau might require hand-watering only. Rockwool will not work with that.

Pros : Dbl the space
Cons: Need a ladder

When you stack lights realize the light on bottom will effect the temp of the top grow space. And thats pretty much all you have to worry about.

Yea, I'm imagining leaving 6" or so between the bottom light and 2nd shelf with a fan blowing the gap. I'm hoping that 4' total will be fine for each shelf, 1' each for media zone, stalk zone, canopy, and light zone. This is all for flowering plants.
