Cable Management

Hey All! Currently setting up my new tent. Just picked up my fan and ducting, have my light hung, controller 67 is on its way (tomorrow delivery)

My question is for the OCD cable management types. How did you manage the cables?

Zip Ties or Velcro straps to the poles? Chase through conduit? And for power strips etc, did you leave them in the tent? Enclosed or open to the tent?

I am doing hydro so I'm trying to be a little extra cautious. I have a sealable pelican style case I have no problem cutting into to create a pseudo sealed distro box.

As of now, I am running my ballast cable through the top port on the tent, will share that opening with the vent out duct. Ballast is living elevated above the tent on a shelf, lighting timer will be on wall/ outside of tent.

Will need to manage; fan power, data cables, and sensor probe, clip fan power cables, air pump power (unsure if this should be in or out of tent) and air lines.

I want the ropes accessible, they just hang, but are tucked behind one of the tent's top poles therefore the ropes are touching a reflective wall as they hang, near a corner. I keep all my timers and power outlets outside the tent, which judging from photos I've seen, is somewhat uncommon.

My timers, pumps and power strips etc. are outside the tent where I can access them without opening the tent.
Anyway, I bought one of these to run cable and hoses etc. through my tent wall. Stuff a piece of foam rubber in there to close it up.

So you cut a hole in your tent to install a grommet/ bulkhead? I was thinking of just going through one of the 4" holes I'm not using.
