Odd size grow tent

Hello all. I've got a little "nook" that would be a perfect fit for a 3x4 tent. Trying to get the biggest tent I can fit into that spot, but the problem is low ceilings. My max height would be about 5'5" or about 65 inches. I've searched but seems nobody makes such a size. Closest I've found is a 2'x4'x60"height. Anything 3x4 is taller then 60", at least from what I've found so far. Any ideas? Thanks ahead!

Don't use a tent, just use the room.
 
It's an oddball size, you might be better off just using it open instead of a tent. If you really need a tent to control the environment you're probably stuck with a 2x4 tent. It's possible to yield 12-16 ounces in a tent like that if it's dialed in so you can get a decent harvest from one. You can also try to build one with either PVC or lumber and panda film. They sell tent doors if you are making it yourself also. Best of luck with the new space.

Hadn't even thought of that, might be a good option also. Thanks!
 
Will this "nook" be in a room that can otherwise be darkened? Blackout curtain if there's a window, for example? Use lower watt CFL bulbs in the outer room, as the light is less bright and intense just in case, also saves you some power. I hate CFL bulbs but they're great for lung rooms IMO.

I agree with others, just use the space itself, you don't even have to paint it but if it's white that's perfect, and just make some sort of provisions for floor spills. ..
 
Depending on your space
Would two of these work?

That would be about 2 ft too long but thanks for the tip! I've actually got that exact tent, it's the one I'm looking to replace for that exact spot. I bought the vivosun "kit". Have 6 in there right now that I put into flower like six weeks ago. After a few weeks went by and nothing, no changes at all. Couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. One night I noticed a little light coming from the tent, unzipped and sure enough.. For some reason at lights out, the blue and reds remain on. Not very bright, which is probably why I didn't notice, but enough to keep these going 24 hrs of veg waaaay longer then I wanted.. No matter what settings I put the lights at, the blues and reds won't shut off. Had to put a mechanical timer on the whole setup to turn the damn things off. Not happy with vivosun products lol.. Here they are now, way too big for the tiny tent..

Check your grounding
Not sure maybe I misread but you said 3x4
Two of those is 3feet x 40inches
8 inches less than you ask for

Yep it's 20" long and 3ft wide, so 2 side by side would be 6 ft wide no? But now that you mentioned checking the ground, one of the lights ( they're daisy chained ) randomly turns off, and needs a good "tap" to turn back on. All the plugs and connections seem good and tight. But now I'm willing to bet that it has to be directly related. I'll double check everything again. Thanks for the tip!
 
Stick on zippers like a tent zipper, they sell them separate. When I came across that my DIY possibilities went wild as to what one could do with that. If it is a shotty spot with dirt, dust, etc.
 
I've got a 20x36x54, trying to find something about a foot longer and a foot wider but no taller. Might just have to make my own or just skip the tent all together and just use the space. Thanks tho!
Maybe you could cut the fabric off the tent and modify it to use the zipper and port holes for access and fan spots?
