Indoor greenhouse for clones

As the title suggests, I'm wanting to move my clones into their own tent to free up room in my veg tent.
Now before someone suggests a propagation tent, yes I know, however the greenhouse tent would serve not just my cannabis, but other house plants.
My question is, has anyone done or seen this with success? My concern is airflow, and I'm assuming with one fan towards the bottom (tent has an open bottom) and the zippers partially open.
My local hydro shop has clones out in the open under T5's so I'm assuming this wouldn't be an issue. but again, airflow is my concern.

If you have a lung room for your tent just get a wire rack shelving unit, one of the ones with easily adjustable shelves, and fix led strips on the bottom of the shelf above the clones or seedlings. I have a 2’x6’ one I use for tomatoes, peppers, veggies, clones and seedlings of all types. No plastic is needed if you don’t want to, so air flow is not an issue if there is some movement already.

No space inside the tents, I wish, would have already had it done.
mainly wanted this for the living room, outside of the grow room.
Since I usually only have 4-5 clones/seedlings at a time, it would give me a spot to put them, and make space inside a 2x4, and since its a "dual use" tent, not have to hear the wife..

As long as you know the other plants are pest free I don't see any problem .

It seems like a solid plan to me.. You might need to modify it for better airflow, though.. Installing a small fan at the bottom and creating an opening at the top should work well..

That's what I was thinking, may just snip two 4x4 squares and use some screen or mesh w/ db-sided velcro tape.

Yes I've used those tents with t5s for clones, seedlings and drying.

I fitted/duct taped card across the top bars and fitted a 4" shower fan, a couple of issues was it not being sealed at the bottom and the overall build quality wasn't great but yes it worked fine.

I had also thought about installing a fan on the top, I have a pc fan that would work fine.
as well as the problem of it not being sealed, but the area is clean and I’m not too concerned of pests, thanks for the info! That’s what I wanted to hear
