Alright, I have a potentially dumb question. But first let me set it up.
I live in an apartment so being stealth is an important factor. Technically in my closet I could fit a 2' x '4 tent. But I plan on growing in my bedroom just so that I am not as cramped and have more room to maneuver. Obviously with a small tent like this I am somewhat limited if I want to do a SOG. So this is the idea that popped into my head (yes, I was medicated at the time):
The specific tent I am looking at is a Gorilla Tent Shorty (2' x '4 x 4'11"). I have the option of buying a 2ft extension that will increase it's height to 6'11". Given the extra height I was thinking that I could possibly put a shelf in at the midpoint so that I could have a SOG grow at the base level and then on the makeshift second level. I assume I would need an appropriate exhaust fan and clip fans throughout to ensure proper ventilation. My biggest concern is with heat. Before having this great/dumb idea I had planned on going with 2 x 300W LED lights. If I went with a tiered setup, I assume that would mean I would then have 4 x 300 W (2 up top, 2 down below). Given the space my gut tells me that it could get too hot with that many lights going at the same time. My gut also tells me that I may not have enough clearance for my lights in relation to the canopy. The main draw is that in an emergency I could break down the 2nd level and still fit the tent in my closet.
So really, here is my question: Does this seem like a plausible plan or am I being a dumbass?
