Lighting Cord Management

[notime2work]

This is probably a question that could fit in various places on the forum, but since it involves AutoCobs, I will ask here.

I currently have 4 AutoCobs, a fan/filter, heater and humidifier that I am trying to manage the cords. At some point, I will need to also use a couple of timers. Right now I am using a power strip, but it doesn't have enough outlets, so I will need to purchase an additional one. But the mass of cords is a little overwhelming, and this is just a small tent. I know others here have bigger grows, and I am guessing more cords to contend with. I would love to hear how anyone else going through cord hell is managing to keep it under control.

I was just thinking the same thing and was considering posting as well. So thank you!
I also have autocobs (6), filter, 2 small fans...
Is the mass of cables something to worry about? Any ideas on how to fix it? I was just thinking about zip tying them together, but I would love a vet's thoughts, especially considering my safety concerns

Did a much needed reorg on my tent and have the plants around the perimeter now and open space in the middle to walk. My tent has horizontal tent poles along the sides half way up the height of the tent. I tie or clip off the autocob cords to the poles. Also have power bars tie wrapped to the poles so they are not on the ground. I find it works get. Cord are out of the way. You can see the bars and lights and cords on the poles in this shot.

Aw, yes, I forgot about my 2 small clip on fans also...

So do most of you have your power strips inside or outside the tent? The one I use now is inside the tent hooked to the top bar with zip ties. I may have to use one outside the tent for the fan, heater, etc but some of the cords on the items are not that long.

Wow, that's a nice setup! Large enough to move around in, that's for sure. My tent doesn't have horizontal poles halfway up, just at the top (and bottom), so I have limited poles to attach stuff to.

Run a clothes line around the perm of the tent inside to clip things on to. Just be careful with the weights of what you hang.

Hahaha! Really show a pic so we know it’s for real? Hilarious! Good to see you around Flash. Was wondering if you moved on elsewhere as I haven’t seen much from you lately... hope all is well
