AC Infinity CLOUDLAB 866 - Advance Grow Tent (150x150x200)

Grow tent measuring 150 × 150 × 200 cm with a 2000D oxford outer canvas, diamond mylar interior and a Ø 22 mm steel frame. The largest size in the CLOUDLAB range, offering 2.25 m² of growing area.

The controller belongs outside the canvas

Every CLOUDLAB ships with a steel controller plate: a panel that mounts on the outside of the tent, with a lightproof passthrough for the cables. It looks like a minor accessory. At this size it is not.

A climate controller hanging inside the tent measures and operates in conditions that do it no favours. It is warm, it is humid, and in most setups it sits close to the light as well. You have to open the tent to read it, and opening the tent changes the very measurement you wanted to check.

Mounted outside, all of that goes away. You read the display in passing, you change a setting without interrupting a dark period, and the electronics sit at room temperature rather than in a warm, damp space. The sensor still goes inside, through the same passthrough, which is where it belongs.

The 866 adds something for this. Alongside the usual mounting there is a third, lower strap, so you can hang the plate at eye level rather than near the top of a two-metre tent. AC Infinity gives that second mounting height to its largest models only. On a 200 cm tent it is the difference between reading the display and fetching a step stool.

The passthrough is deliberately lightproof. A hole for cables is exactly where light leaks in during the dark period, and a tent this size runs more cabling to the outside than any other in the range.

What 2.25 m² asks of your ventilation

This tent holds 4.5 m³, comfortably ten times the volume of the smallest size in the range. Air exchange scales with it: the same fan that handles a 0.36 m² tent easily does nothing here. There are five 200 mm ports and two at 100 mm, so the tent is laid out for 200 mm extraction rather than something smaller on a reducer.

Frame and load

Ø 22 mm steel tubing with a metallic finish. Four roof bars, two of them running the full length, the same arrangement as the 733 and the 844. AC Infinity publishes 113 kg as the beam weight capacity. Separate mounting bars are not roof bar replacements and will not carry a light or heavy ventilation.

Frequently asked questions

Is a controller included?
No, only the plate it mounts on, with screws and adhesive fixings. The controller is bought separately.

Why is this tent called 866 when it is 150 × 150 cm?
The model number is not a consistent size code. The 866 is sold as a 5 × 5 ft, which comes to 150 × 150 cm. Always work from the centimetres.

Can I use 150 mm extraction?
You can with a reducer, but the tent is laid out for 200 mm. At 2.25 m² and 4.5 m³, 150 mm is on the tight side in most setups.
