HiTorturedSoul,haha,my English is much more worse than my Mandarin.
Oh. Please forgive my mistake. I (somehow... I am blaming exhaustion
) managed to forget that, although Mandarin is (as far as I know) the language that is used by the most people in China, there are several (many?) others including Wu, Yue, Min, Xiang, Cantonese, et cetera - and that there is enough differences between some of the languages/dialects to make the speakers of them mutually unintelligible. You are to be commended for having fluency in multiple languages. I am only proficient in English. I think you might already be more fluent in it than some of my neighbors who only use the one language, lol (this is a somewhat rural area).
I bought two books recently,one is Pride and Prejudice,my favorite,another is a Chinese book.
I have not read
Pride and Prejudice since I had to do so for a school assignment (a few decades ago), but it is an acclaimed novel. I confess that the only Chinese books that I have read are the ~2,600-year old
The Art of War ("Master Sun's Rules of Warfare"), attributed to Sun Tzu - which I found to be both interesting and useful (even though I have no plans to fight a war, lol) - and a science fiction novel, whose name and author escape me. Both were English translations.
In our draft design,the height is about 5.3',you think 7' will be better?
I think it would be far better than 5.3', yes. I would consider any height under 6' to be very poor. I realize that people can - in theory - train their plants so that they occupy less height. The problem with putting that theory into practice, especially within a grow tent, is that the area (square feet/meters) is finite/limited. With a tent, expanding the square footage literally means destroying the tent, lol - so there is much less of an opportunity to train plants to grow in a more horizontal fashion.
However... While a grow tent that is seven feet tall would probably fit in most people's homes, it might be difficult or impossible to actually assemble one in some of them. Having just gone back and remeasured some of my rooms, I found that some of them are only a fraction of an inch over seven feet in height. There would obviously need to be some extra space required in order to assemble the tent, so I would be unable to set up a seven foot tall tent in those rooms. I assume that I could in the rooms which have eight feet of vertical space in them, but am not absolutely certain of that. Would you mind asking your engineer how much additional vertical space is required over and above the height of one of your grow tents (for example, the one closest to 3'x3' in area) in order to set it up?
There really does not seem to be a "standard" ceiling height in the United States. I have seen 7', 7'6", 8', 8'6", and higher than that in some older houses and, of course (because they can afford to heat them
) homes for the wealthy seem to often have higher ceilings, 10', 12', or even higher. Actually, for the communities that follow the IRC (International Residential Code), there is a
minimum ceiling height of seven feet for living spaces. Many homes have eight foot ceiling height on the first floor (I believe that is called the ground floor in Europe, not sure about China) and seven foot ceiling height on the second story. But, again, it varies. A ceiling height of less than seven feet would leave very little room for trimming out standard-sized door openings.
You mean you want a one-foot "extension",i don't know how it works,i will consult our engineer.
I am not certain, but my guess is that there is a 1' tall piece with "half of a zipper" on both the top and the bottom, which is lengthy enough to wrap around the tent. There would be a corresponding zipper at some height on the tent. One would unzip that zipper and then "zip in" the extension piece. For the vertical structural frame pieces... I don't know, lol. It would have to be done in such a way that does not compromise either the tent or the load capacity of the ceiling. Hmm...
Perhaps it would be better/cheaper/easier to just ask the engineer to figure out how tall of a tent can be easily(?) set up in a room that has a seven foot ceiling height, lol? I suspect that would end up being a tent which is 6'8" tall, or thereabouts (but that is just a guess).
yeah,taller is better.
Do you mean you want a divider for the height?
it needs to be a completely light proof divider to be effective some are Velcro others are heavy duty zippers with double covers to ensure no light leaks. Here I'll link ya to the one I was looking at.
???
You want a horizontal light-proof divider for height? Do you mean in the proposed separate smaller section on the left side? I had assumed that most everyone would use that side as a vegetative and/or cloning area (as folks do with the Secret Jardin and other "multi-chambered" grow tent models) and, therefore, that it could be one open area in terms of light (as those are). While it is true that some people like to give their cuttings more light hours than the rest of the plants that they have in vegetative growth, I have never found that to be necessary (and some research seems to state that a decent amount of dark hours aids in root growth, so the opposite could actually be true).
