Short tent grow tech

Hey,

Looking to do a micro grow with bubbleponics. I have experience with growing veggies in a DWC system. Want to make this setup as small as possible and still do hydro if I can. I was looking at a 2x2x3 (LxWxH) tent with a Meijiu 240w QB LED. However I'm concerned about a few things.

A) That light is 25" long I believe so it would need to be at a slight angle within the tent.
B) It might be too much light with not enough height and burn the plants
C) DWC plus the light will not leave enough space for the plant to grow.

The training method I'm looking to do would be scrog.

Possible to do DWC with a tent this short? Should I pair down the light and go for a 120w QB LED? Obviously just gonna do a single plant and try to get the canopy as flat as possible to utilize the space and keep it as short as possible. Would do an indica variety as well with a short veg cycle. Any other thoughts? Be better off with a 4' high tent?

Looks like 4' might be the shortest you can realistically go. Was looking at the GGT shorty which is 2x2.5x4'11" I like that size because I can definitely get the 240W QB LED in there (alibaba version of SF2000). I think with short tents, you really have to put the time into training them and don't veg for too long.

You can fit 25” in a 24” tent no problems. 24” cabinet is a different story not sure how hot it gets though could be a fire hazard
