Ok so i have 1 2'x4'x60" and 1 2.5'x5'x80" tent. If ii use the AC infinity self watering bases, I can fit 3 plants in the 2x4 and 4... maybe 5 in the 2.5x5. More realistic to just keep that at 4. I already know that I am getting a new 2x4 tent next year because the 1 i have is starting to have zipper problems. I don't sell and honestly don't even smoke that much. This is mostly a hobbies for me. I just have a lot of strains I'd like to try and adding an extra tent would mean I can grow 3-6 more strains each year, depending on how many of each strain i grow, and if I run photos or autos in the 3rd tent.

I have some photo genetics I'd like to give a try. I normally grow autos. I have always wanted to give photos a try indoors. I'd like to do a run where I do a lot of topping, lst, and supercropping to get a bunch of top buds. I have always wanted to try a scrog grow as well as a sea of green grow with clones. So many things I want to try and an extra tent would help out a lot. But... I don't sell or use that much. I would basically give away or toss anything that wasn't prime buds. So I guess the question I am wrestling with is, does it make sense for me to add a 3rd tent when I already grow more than I can use? I could probably keep myself in flower with 1 2x4 tent. Does it make sense to run 3 tents? 🤣

Nope it dies not unless you going to start making salve or something. Tents use power so it would be a waste IMO.
 
A 2x4 is big enough to keep most people supplied in weed if your grow technique is developed. For me, an extra tent would be most valuable for breeding or keeping favorite mother plants around. The drawback would be it takes longer to build up a variety of stains since you're limited to three or four strains at a time max.
 
I think for now i will just replace the old 2x4 tent next year with a new 2x4. And if I get another tent, it might be a year later... I would like to try making my own seeds, whether it is fem seeds or regs..
