Grow Tent that isn't 6 feet tall or taller....

On the tents, I'm with tek on this one. Self-build with 2x2 and pine cladding, screwed not tacked. Easily dismantled and/or modified.
Tek, I do bonchi (bonsai chillies) in hydro. Satisfying as it is comparatively quick. 'normal' bonsai will frustrate hell out of you with slow growth after growing the herb. Airpot is good idea but remember at some point the plant is going to have to fit into it's final destination (bonsai is all about aesthetics and the plant is only half of it, the pot is the other half).
Generally, my final pots are about 1 or 2 inches high so I would cut those airpots down to those dimensions.
p.s. great places for bonsai pots is second-hand shops. Just look for any crockery suitable and get some glass drill bits to do drainage holes.

Look on Amazon! Lighthouse Hydro has all different size's.
Just bought 2 tents.
I needed one just for seedlings and clones,and 1 for veg and budding.
So far im liking this small one.

Tek, Gobi sounds cool. a quick google shows gobi likes to send out long rhizomes (underground stems). I've sometimes had problems with such plants in pots (Rhus typhina, Sumach tree being the best example). It's like they know they can't reproduce so die.
Citrus sounds so cool.
Spent yesterday stripping down my kitchen garden and removing it to make space for a diy shallow flood/drain. The idea being that the roots will fit into shallow pots. Also I needed my old hydrogarden dual-flow ready for over-wintering in it's cabinet.
It's all looking a bit sorry for itself atm.

Is this possible to do with some of these newer tents ?
Buy some Mylar sheets (5 for ~$15.00) and either get an Appliance box but to size. Done!
