Grow Tent Buyers Guide

grow tentGrow Tents are Stuff Stoners Like

A grow tent is great for anybody looking to grow weed. Grow tents are especially awesome for people looking to grow weed who don’t have a lot of space. Sure nothing beats natural sun light, it’s free and it works well, but securing your outdoor marijuana grow isn’t all that easy. If you have a large house or space to grow inside your house you may have enough space to dedicate an entire room to your marijuana grow. However if you live in a small apartment or house and don’t have the space for a customized grow operation or if you rent a grow tent is a great option.

You can find a complete grow tent kit in a variety of sizes. Plus they’re customizable. You can purchase the basics like a light and some fans or you could grab yourself a fancy indoor grow tent that allows you to control heat and humidity levels. Plus you can pack up your grow ten and take it with you if you move to a new place or have to bust it down and hide it in case of an emergency, like mother-in-law coming to town or an impending visit by your landlord. Some grow tent kits are super stealth and look lie a file cabinet or a piece of furniture just in case you’ve got nosy neighbors or roommates.

Anyhow most grow tents are made of a durable, lightproof material. This is important because you don’t want any light to leak inside the tent while the plant is sleeping. This also helps regulate the temperature inside your grow tent as well as the relative humidity. Some have the ability to install  in-line fans and scrubbers to keep air circulating inside the tent and to keep it and the rest of your house or apartment smelling like weed.

Grow Tent For MarijuanaWhat to look for in a grow tent

Our grow tent guide will help you navigate the vast sea of grow tents and grow tent kits on the market. Why use a grow tent? Well they’re great for small areas, gorilla grows or people just starting out. Grow tents are easy to set up and easy to use. Most importantly, however, grow tents create an excellent environment for growing weed.

You can score a small grow tent, maybe like a 4×4 grow tent or a 4×8 grow tent for pretty cheap online. Some of the most well know manufacturers (think Sun Hut grow tent, Secret Jardin grow tent, the Growlab tent) have awesome grow tents available for affordable prices. We looked into those. We also took a look at the Gorilla Grow Tent and some of the smaller-sized Gorilla Grow Tent packages. There are bigger tents like the 6×6 grow tent, or a 8 x 8 tent, or a 10×10 grow tent—there are even tents with rooms available so you can veg and flower simultaneously creating a perpetual harvest operation in your grow tent setup.

Of course you can always create your own DIY grow tent. Or maybe check the local classifieds for used grow tents for sale. Or find a slightly used grow tent kit from a friend? Several grow tent packages come with everything you need—just plug and play. They’re all light-proof, waterproof and pre-equipped for ventilation. Plus many grow tent kits come with rigging to support reflectors and filters. And almost every grow tent setup is lined with reflective material inside to ensure no light is wasted. That reflective surface inside the grow tent will actually increase light intensity and improve distribution even in a really small grow tent. However most complete indoor grow tent packages are expensive—so it might be worht your while to grab a good grow tent rather than a complete grow tent kit and outfit it with equipment later.

    I love Mars Hydro grow tent and light, Quality product and a great company to work with if you have questions or issues. Pin hole leaks when lights are on but tent doesn’t allow light in from the outside so keeps the light schedule as needed.https://goo.gl/eoohtc
