What do you hang your lights with if you have ceilings that are like 15ft?
Preferably something metal and sturdy.

get some extra hooks, and extention cords, and you can run all your cordage above the floor, makes life a lot easier...till you have to change something...

Thanks! Yeah decided to scrap my tents and step into this world of no height limits lol
That’s probably a smart idea with extra cords. Make it look real nice and all tucked away. Thanks guys!

15ft, nice. I might use a coated cable, for easy cleaning. Chains....too many crevices. Just my thinkin

Strut channel systems will work for this situation. Lights can be mounted directly to the metal frame, this can be done on the ground and will make installation easier. Strut channels are also good for mounting air conditioners and dehumidifiers.
Home Depot sells these in 10ft lengths, but electric supply normally has them in 20 ft.

I wish I was using co2. The building I’m growing in isn’t the nicest. Def not seal. Hopefully in 6 months i can upgrade it a little bit to where I can add co2.
and luckily it’s getting colder outside, so I’ll be good. It wasnt very fun thislast summer. It sucked lol

Sounds like a good setup. IMO, everyone can have killer runs without Co2. Co2 is just icing on the cake. If you can't bake a cake, forget Co2.

I would mount strut channel on the ceiling spaced appropriately, then you can use spring nut, square washer, a nut and eye bolts to provide places to hang lights, you can slide them along the strut channel if you wanna move them in the future.
If you don't wanna grow massive plants you can make a frame out of galvanized pipe and mount it to the floor, then hang your lights from that.

Well I originally planned on having height limits for these plants with a tent, but now they don’t have limit, it’s a change of plans for sure lol they are about 16inches tall from the soil in the pot. Instead of spreading them out now, I’m just gonna let them grow up tall. Will probably be throwing them into flowrr in about 1-2 weeks now. Gotta get these tables and light stuff set up. Guys I’m freakin excited! A whole new world lol

Remember side lighting if you grow them tall. Maybe some bare verticals.

What would you consider tall?

Well mine get over 5 feet tall from the floor. When I didn't have side lighting the side buds were medium to larfy. Adding the side light made it worth growing them big by making all those side buds like tops. Basically when your light levels drop off so does production. No reason to grow a big plant unless you plan to light the whole damn thing. lol

I like it. You talked me into it. So kinda like you did in your gg4 journal? Hang some single hps bulbs vertically. I assume 1000w, or whatever I am able to control temps/ humidity with?
