Thanks for asking,
@InTheShed. The unpopular part is the installing of the screen, and in that case, mostly because the big fan completely destroys any chance of four corner attachment. Visualize it. The fan can't move. The round head is not the problem, the pole is. The screen must end up below the level of the oscillating big round part of the fan with the blades. And so it has to be hooked on either side of the fan stand with cutout for the stand pole, where there's nothing vertical to hang it on and one of those supports would interfere with the back door to the tent. I have CFM bars I can bring down to the right height on one side, but on the door side it's impossible. It's also impossible to completely rearrange the tent, which would be the real solution were it possible, cuz then it's easy, the fan just goes in the other corner on the side it's on. So all that said, do you see what a supreme pain in the ass it is? I haven't even mentioned the making sure not to trash my towers in the process of bringing the screen down a full almost two feet (the fan head diameter is 18" and the buds are taller than that in a couple places, so at least around 21 or 22 inches down from the starting point up high. That part alone requires two people and great care. I'm not psyched about it at all. My stepdad sees it as a challenge, and he is retired with nothing to do, and he likes to learn about this and help me believe it or not. So it's actually a popular decision with him. Lol. I'll get it done, cuz here's the genius, I figured it out already. (JK on the "genius", lol)
I am simply going to hook the screen to the three sides (corner posts) unaffected by a fan pole. That's going to cover exactly half the area of the tent, going diagonally across the square 5x5 as you will have when you only hook the net to three poles, right? This will take care of the entire Mystery Plant, half (the half that needs it more) of Fulvia, and around 2/3 of Elora, based on where all the plants currently sit, which will stay as is. That's going to be PLENTY of support. I can deal with the rest if it becomes problematic with less drastic measures. The three side hook makes it as painless as I can, while still providing adequate support to most of the towers and avoiding the fan pole altogether, and nothing has to be moved or rearranged to get it done.
That's pretty good, right? I was proud of myself for figuring that one out. It actually works out especially well, because I dug up the net and I lost one hook anyway.
But what do you think? That'll work, right?
