thanks for the fast reply trouble. rather a loose fit then getting whole new tent. another question while i got you do you think a 6in fan at 450cfm will be good enough for this tent with a 600watt cool tube hps the room it will be in is normally 72-78 degrees during the time the lights will be on

dont listen to this idiot, build the frame outside and cut 5 inches off at the feet end and then build it in your room, and at the bottom just let the tent hang loose where it is too long, give at a neat little fold. do not cut any material.
or.... if you know which sections are the bottom of the legs then just cut 5 inches off.
who gives a fuck what your tent looks like, your not building it to exhibit the fucking thing in an art gallery.
performance is king.
you will definitely need a fan speed controller for the 6" fan....so get one.

ha my buddy just did the same thing, but he is "gifting the tent to me to use till we can get our own place. pretty funny actually he got a 4x4x6.5 he planned on using in his basement and his basement is only 6ft.

Just lay the tent on its side, you'll have 6.5' wide by 5' tall to grow! Keep your plants short but busy! lol Just another option.

How many pkants how tallu wanna grow??
Onlt reason i ask is I had the same prob, bought a 4x4x7 and it fit in my room fine until i moved then my fan would hit the ceiling fan and be all janky looking. So i just flipped my tent on its side so its 7Lx4wx4h. So i have more coverage space with less height. Works for me cause i wanna keep my plants fairlyshort for the perpetual grow in working on.
Good luckbrotha

LOL, people who buy furniture and don't measure the area it's going to be in first?
I once knew someone who bought an RV to park in their 7' garage
Even IKEA shoppers measure first.

Put the tent on it's side. Build a wooden platform with a sub floor to lay it on, one that will end up fitting your height perfectly. Then cut holes in the tent and the sub floor to fit pots or a flood table. Or you could just us it for storage, fans, duct work, power etc.
You get to keep everything without losing structural integrity.

Hey we cock did I say something to piss u off pretty sure we just told him do same thing just cut in diff places but I don't know I'm an idiot. Makes a lot of sense to build outside cut take apart bring back inside . And if u have ever built a tent gog u would know that the poles come labeled at least mine did it's not rocket science and deffinately more than 1 way to skin a cat u fucking punk .

use a grolux hps 600w dual spectrum lamp, your plants will be short and stumpy with a max height of 4 feet and an average height of 3 to 3 and a half.what up riu world? ok i made a big mistake i went and got a grow tent thats 5'x5'x6.5' and my ceiling is only 6'2" tall.was so amp to order tent didnt even think about the height. do you guys think if i take a grinder to it and take off 4" it will be ok?
the grolux dual spectrum has more blue in it than red to stop plant stretch.
perfect for your tent.
