So here is my dilemma, I decided to make SIPs out of 27g Costco totes. Now these totes filled with 2 cubic feet of soil plus water, weigh a couple of grams each. I feel like moving these around will be impossible. My original idea was to flower in my 5x5x8 tent which is set up in its own 10x10x9 room with another room taking care of the clones and teens to make a perpetual garden, this room does not have a tent. I thought I would have 8 of these totes and switch them between rooms (rooms are next to each other). After having to rearrange and change the soil in the totes multiple times already (before planting anything) I want an easier path forward with a dolly, because getting these totes out of the tent is a fucking pain in the ass. I will eventually hurt myself moving these around in a tent because you have to pick them up contorted and doing work in a tent sucks when you're a big dude like myself.
I am thinking about fabricating some grow curtains using a fabric similar to what is inside a grow tent (like this), sewn into the inside of curtains to wrap around the entire grow space, maybe with the same treatment on top.
Does anybody use reflective grow curtains? I know they probably would not be as efficient but I like my back and ease. Also I realize I would need more are scrubbing and run a negative pressure in the room to ensure smells do not leave the horticulture area. Heating/cooling and humidity might work to my advantage better without a tent but I realize I would have less control over these environmental variables. Since this is a no till garden the girls get a weekly spray of IPM, so I am not too worried about pests.
What are other disadvantages grow curtains have over a tent? Or is it a million dollar idea?

No, but seriously because curtails you can open easily and might be easier to modify. Spanning the width of the room rollup blinds might create light seems.
