What size Grow tents are most popular? I'm sure it depends on a persons needs but I'm curious what size is the most efficient. I have a 3x3x72 and let me tell you I have my lights all the way to the top and they are still bleaching my leaves. I've seen online that 80 inches tall is pretty common but that only gives me another 8 inches which isn't enuff for me. Anybody know how tall the tallest residential grow tent is? I would love to find one about 90 inches tall. I'm sure other people must have issues with the light being too close in their tents too right??

Any Input is appreciated. thanks.

Gorilla grow tents make the tallest tents to my knowledge. But you pay a pretty penny for them.
If you're growing that tall you're gonna want a 5x5 at least. There does become a point where it becomes cheaper to build a room than buy a tent. Imo
U can veg in a cardboard box. But flowering likes a lot of air flow/space/lower humidity If possible.

I haven't had much luck on finding tents that have the size and afford ability for what I want, so I re-purposed a refrigerator. 4'x3'x6' and as long as I use a screen or train my baby I don't have an light burns. The first plant on the other hand turned into a smelly piece of charcoal that had to be topped way before harvest

I guess it all comes down to what you have to work with. I bought a 2mx2mx2m tent with the hope of running 3x600 watt hps lights and 9 plants. I got 6 clones rather than 9 just to be safe. Literally the day i got my clones and put them under just 1 600watt hps the temps inside the tent rocketed 32.c plus didnt help that it was summer time here. Whilst pondering how i could ever run 3 lights when i cant run 1 i bought a small 26w led grow strip to keep em going while i did some research on heat control. Many methods were found. Cool tubes, bigger extractor and the winner for me AC. Just so happened that we had an old portable ac unit in the basement. After some questionable modifications and a shit ton of a duct tape i hooked it up to put cool 15 degrees air boosted through a 6 inch inline fan suddenly i could run 2x600 watt hps around 20 inch above canopy with no bleaching and keep a constant 26-28.c. sorry for the big read but what im saying is there is no best tent size really its all about your circumstances if you got a big room to put a big tent in and the means to control its environment then go big. If youre space is limited then accomadate for that with a smaller setup.
