Grow tent shopping

I am having trouble finding a grow tent at a good rate. Previously i was using a 4x4x7 tent but i have moved to a smaller home and i want something more like 2x3x7. I was able to find a 2x4x6 which may be an option but it was expensive.

How do people grow in 5' tall tents? I would think the light takes 1.5 feet including space between it and the plant. The pot is about a foot. That leaves only 2.5' for the plants in a 5 foot tent!

I found a 64" for $52 the 72" is $82. I would like to save the $30 but i am not sure if the 64" is tall enough.

Grow tents are a “you get what you paid for” kinda thing. Most acceptable tents are $80-125.
I bought Gorilla’s, so the 4x8ft was almost $400, and the 2x2.5ft almost $180.
My first cab was 48”... you can do fine with 60-72”

Apollo tents are pretty good at a great price

Gorilla Grow Lite, is on sale, that has been extended past cyber Monday.
I have the 4 x 4 Lite and love it, almost 5 yrs old and no zipper issues at all.

2 x 4x 6. 46 plus change, 50 total, Wal mart website, drop shipped free. Heavy Duty compared to some. I realize its not a 4 x 4, been impressed with construction. Uenjoy, what a name. lol. They were out of stock of the other sizes, bigger and smaller. 4 x 4 x 7 usually 70.

Last one was a cheap Amazon one, obviously a lighter fabric than the uenjoy and less heavy duty zippers. Lasted two rounds, wd40, silicone spray, nuttin worked on frozen zippers. It was a 2.5 x 2.5 x 5

I have a small bedroom and use 120x120 tent.
by the way I was advised to use 1000 watts lamp, what do you advise?

10000 watt lamps for a 5 by 5 tent

I have 2 tents.
A Gorilla Grow lite 2 x2.5 with the 1 foot high extender to make it 7 feet tall or so.
A no brand 3x3x6 tent.
Both work.
The Gorilla it taller. It also has 5 zippers to open the flaps. Which means closing 5 zippers(in a order) to close the tent.
The no brand has 1 zipper. 1 zipper total.
I prefer the fewer zippers.
The 3x3 tent holds 4 3 1/2 gallon buckets and a 320 watt led, the 2x2.5 holds 3 buckets with a 250 watt led.

If you’re talking CM, like 120cm deep by 120cm wide, then a 1000W HID would be fine.

Oops! ..meant 1000 watt (10000w might be overkill)

In my opinion Apollo tents have horrendous zipper designs and they have a lot of light leaks. My cousin bought a cheap one on Amazon and returned in 2 weeks later. I've also read a lot of other people who had similar issues.

I have several Apollo, they're pretty good
