How to Pick the Right Cloudlab Footprint
The
AC Infinity Cloudlab line covers every common indoor footprint, and the model number tells you the footprint at a glance. The first digit is the size class; the last two digits are the footprint in feet. So a 422 is a 2x2x4 (4 feet tall), a 733 is a 3x3x6, an 844 is a 4x4, and an 866 is a 5x5x6. D-suffix tents (632D, 743D, 864D) ship with a divider so the same footprint runs as two separate climates for veg and flower.

Dual-Chamber Cloudlab (D-Suffix)
The 632D, 743D, and 864D each split one tent into two side-by-side compartments. The divider supports a continuous-harvest cycle where one side runs 18 hours of veg lighting while the other runs 12 hours of flower lighting, off the same Smart Controller schedule. For most home growers, a single 4x4 (844) or 5x5 (866) is the simpler call, but dual-chamber models save floor space when running back-to-back harvests is the goal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Cloudlab Mylar 2000D?
Yes, every Cloudlab tent uses 2000D Mylar lining with a 98 percent reflective interior. That's the same fabric density as the AC Infinity premium tier and double the standard 1000D you see on budget tents. The thicker fabric resists punctures during pole assembly and holds up to repeated harvest cycles.
What's the difference between the 844 and the dual-chamber 864D?
The 844 is a 4x4 single-chamber tent. The 864D is a 5x4 footprint with a built-in divider that splits the interior into two compartments, so you can run veg and flower side-by-side. Pick the 864D if you want continuous harvests from one tent; pick the 844 if you're running a single climate at a time.
What ceiling height do I need for a Cloudlab 6'8" tent?
Plan for 8 feet 8 inches minimum room height. The 6'8" Cloudlab tents take 12 inches above for the inline fan and ducting, plus 12 inches inside the tent for the LED at proper hang distance over a mature canopy. Basement builds with 8-foot ceilings work but require a compact ducting run and the lower-profile Ionboard panels instead of Ionframe.
Does the Cloudlab include the frame and fabric in one box?
Yes, every Cloudlab ships in a single box with the fabric shell, steel frame poles, connecting hubs, hanging crossbars, observation window cover, and a tool pouch for the assembly hardware. Assembly takes 30-45 minutes solo on the 4x4 and up, no extra parts needed.
How much weight can a Cloudlab crossbar hold?
The frame is rated for 150 pounds of total hanging load distributed across the crossbars. That's enough headroom for a 60-pound Ionframe EVO8 LED, a 30-pound carbon filter, and the inline fan ducting all hung from the ceiling bars at once.
Can I daisy-chain two Cloudlab tents?
Not directly with a built-in pass-through, but you can run two tents off the same Smart Controller 69 Pro Plus with each tent on its own Cloudline fan and Ionboard light plugged into separate UIS ports. The controller schedules both tents independently from one hub. For one tent with two chambers in a single shell, use the D-suffix models (632D, 743D, 864D) instead.
