Build a Sealed, Light-Tight Growing Environment
AC Infinity's Cloudlab series has earned its reputation by solving the two biggest frustrations indoor growers face: light leaks and structural weakness. The 4x8 footprint gives you room to grow 12-16 plants while maintaining complete environmental control.
Zero Light Leaks, Maximum Light Efficiency
Light contamination during dark cycles destroys flowering plants. AC Infinity engineers this problem away with purpose-built features.
- The 2000D canvas is 67% thicker than standard tents, creating an impenetrable barrier against external light. This density also improves insulation, helping your
climate control equipment work less and save you money on energy costs.
- Diamond mylar lining doesn't just reflect light, it disperses it evenly across your canopy. This means fewer hot spots, more uniform growth, and maximized photosynthesis in every corner of your 4x8 space.
- Heavy-duty metal zippers with light-proof flaps ensure your plants experience true darkness. No pinhole leaks, no compromised harvests.
Engineered for Heavy Equipment Loads
Your 4x8 setup demands serious infrastructure. This tent delivers it.
- The steel frame supports 150 lbs overhead, plenty of capacity for multiple
LED grow lights, ducting, and carbon filters. The corner connectors lock tight with no wobble or sag over time.
- Multiple port configurations accept 6-inch and 8-inch
ventilation fans with cinch-cord seals that maintain your environment while giving you installation flexibility for intake, exhaust, and circulation systems.
- The observation window lets you check on plants without opening the tent and disrupting your carefully dialed climate. Combined with the removable floor tray, maintenance becomes simple and spill-proof.
Complete System Integration
The Cloudlab 894 pairs seamlessly with AC Infinity's ecosystem of environmental control gear.
- Pre-configure your setup with the
complete 4x8 ventilation kit, which includes a Cloudline inline fan, carbon filter, ducting, and smart controller. One purchase gets you growing faster with components engineered to work together.
- Integrate
Controller 69 Pro to automate fan speeds, lighting schedules, and humidity levels based on real-time VPD calculations. Your tent becomes a hands-off operation that adjusts to your plants' needs automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many plants can I fit in a 4x8 grow tent?
A 4x8 tent comfortably holds 12-16 plants depending on your training method. If you're running Sea of Green (SOG), you can pack in 20+ smaller plants. For SCROG or larger individual plants, 8-12 is ideal. The 32 square feet gives you flexibility to experiment with different growing styles.
What size ventilation fan do I need for a 4x8 tent?
You'll want a 6-inch or 8-inch inline fan. Calculate your tent volume (4x8x6.67 = 213 cubic feet) and multiply by 3-5 for proper air exchange. A
Cloudline T8 with 807 CFM handles this perfectly, even with a carbon filter adding resistance to your system.
Can this tent handle commercial-grade LED fixtures?
Yes. The 150 lb weight capacity supports multiple high-output LEDs. Most growers run two
IonFrame EVO8 lights for full coverage, or combine several smaller panels. Just distribute weight evenly across the support bars and you're set.
How do I prevent odors from escaping a tent this size?
Pair your tent with an 8-inch
carbon filter rated for 800+ CFM. Size up your filter slightly above your fan's CFM to account for restriction. Seal all ports when not in use, and consider running negative pressure (exhaust faster than intake) to keep smells contained inside the tent.
What's the difference between 2000D and standard tent canvas?
The "D" stands for denier, which measures fabric density. 2000D canvas is 67% thicker than cheap 600D tents. This translates to better light blocking, superior insulation, and longer lifespan. You won't find pinholes or weak spots that develop over time with thinner materials.
Should I buy just the tent or a complete kit?
If you're starting fresh, the
complete 4x8 kit saves you money and matching headaches. You get tent, fan, filter, ducting, and controller in one purchase. If you already own ventilation gear or want to customize, buying the tent separately gives you flexibility.
How do I maximize yield in a 4x8 space?
Focus on even light distribution, proper training techniques, and dialed-in environment. Use
circulation fans to strengthen stems and prevent microclimates. Implement SCROG or LST to create an even canopy. Monitor VPD with smart controllers to keep plants in their optimal transpiration zone throughout each growth stage.
Can I partition a 4x8 tent for different growth stages?
While the Cloudlab 894 doesn't come with built-in partitions, you can create zones using reflective curtains or dividers. For purpose-built dual-zone growing, consider AC Infinity's
dual-chamber tents in smaller footprints, which are specifically designed for perpetual harvest setups.
