I would hook some type of pulley to the handle then over the crossbar of the tent to hang it so you can raise and lower it easily. I’m guessing the two holes on one end of the mount is to secure the fan. Hopefully there mounting post on it or screws. Hard to tell from the pic. May have to get creative
 
Creativity is the key I guess. But there is no mounting post on it. I'm gonna post a picture that I found on a way to solve this problem, but I'm not sure because looks like it limits the way I can mount my filter.
 
Replying to bboyfromwayback. It was mount directly on the top hole and secure with tape

bboy is right. Setup everything and test drive the system for a day or two to measure exactly how much heat you have to deal with, and what’s the best locations for hardware. Better to learn early than to kill your precious plants as they are starting out. 👍
 
The traditional light hanger is called an adjustable rope hanger. Search for them on Amazon. They're about $5 a pair.
 
I'll try and see what I'm getting, but also I should expect to be hotter once the plants are in de tent, right? Só I should aim for a temperature below de ideal?
 
IDK you’ve never said what brand the light is only that it’s 100w led, my 150w led only raises my temperature a degree or 2 in my 3x3
 
Temp will mostly be the same...BUT...humidity issues increase as the plants get bigger and more lush. Remember that air-pumps and fans will add a wee bit of heat in the tent as well. It’s minimal in larger spaces, but you’re growing in a smaller space and might need to take that into account as well.
 
@Xena... for heat issues, not all LEDs are equal and manufacturers of cheap LED panels take advantage of buyers not being aware of that. Cheaper/older LED chips (say 2 years old) are cheap as beans in bulk...like a few pennies per LED chip when bought in bulk. The electronics and flimsy heat-sinks can be assembles in a Chinese factory for only a few dollars per unit (literally...maybe $5).
So those cheap LED fixtures that everyone flocks to are build for less than $10/unit. Quality is always questionable at best, negligible at worst.
