A 4x4 tent is ideal for 4 plants in 5-gallon pots. It gives each plant about 4 square feet of canopy space, which is enough for most training methods. A 3x3 works for 4 smaller plants but gets tight.
Go as tall as your space allows — 7 feet minimum. You lose 12-18 inches to the light, 6-8 inches for hanging hardware, and your plants need 18-36 inches. Short tents force you to flower early or use aggressive training.
Yes — a 2x2 is good for 1-2 plants, seedlings and clones, or a dedicated veg/mother space. Pair it with a 100-150W LED. Not ideal for full flower cycles unless you are growing a single small plant.
