Lighting
As seen with traditional grow room set-ups, a good place to start planning
a grow tent’s interior organization is with lighting. This is because the type
of lights one uses for their indoor garden directly influences their options
for air-cooling as well as exhausting. For example, the use of double-ended
high pressure sodium lights is discouraged in most grow tent cultivation
scenarios because these lights put off an extreme amount of heat and they
don’t come with air-cooling options (aside from some brand new, relatively
untested models). That being said, fluorescent, LED, and air-cooled HPS
lights can be simply hung from the roof of the interior frame of a grow
tent using ropes, chain, or retractable cordage mechanisms. However,
air-cooled HPS lights should be hung in a position which will function in
conjunction with an exhaust system.
