 For those who have ever been curious about growing plants indoors but were frightened by having to give up every last bit of privacy, grow tents can provide a safe space to experiment with growing without feeling like you are trapped in your home. A grow tent is a uniquely designed structure that allows gardeners to grow plants in a contained area, enabling them to have a free space from pests, smells, and other distractions. It also allows them to grow plants that are suited for indoor cultivation.

Growing plants indoors gives them access to natural lighting, which results in higher levels of production and yields. A grow tent can be a great choice for a first-time grower because it is fairly easy to set up. However, some people may be apprehensive about starting and growing their plants indoors. If you’re one of those people, you should use a grow tent that provides plenty of room.

What Are the Risks, and How Does a Grow Tent Reduce Them?

The risks of growing tents and other elements that reduce the risk of pests and diseases are a build-up of high levels of humidity, moisture, CO2, fungus, and nutrient deficiencies. These factors can cause various problems, including things like root rot. Also, there is poor airflow due to low levels of ventilation and insect infestation responsible for plant damage or destruction.

There is also the growth close to other plants without adequate space for air circulation, which puts your plants at risk of being infected with pests and diseases from the surrounding plants. When you’re using grow tents or any other element that reduces the risk of pests and diseases, these risks are eliminated or significantly reduced. Grow tents provide an excellent environment for your plants by providing sufficient light, water, air circulation, proper ventilation, and more. Allowing your plants to grow in a controlled environment will help reduce the risk of your plants being attacked by pests and disease.

What are the benefits of a grow tent?

Control over the growing Environment

The overall benefit of utilizing a grow tent is that it allows you to have near complete control over the growing environment inside of the tent to provide the optimal temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions for your plants.

Prevents pests and infestations

Another benefit of utilizing a grow tent is that it keeps out unwanted pests and prevents infestations. Additionally, if you have a plant or plants that are infested you can also utilize your grow tent as a quarantine space to avoid infecting the rest of the plants in your home or garden.

Discretion

Utilizing a grow tent allows you to grow discreetly without drawing attention to the fact that you are growing an indoor garden. A quality grow tent will contain light leaks, conceal sound, and can be used in conjunction with a carbon filter and inline fan to filter out odors and heat.

When selecting a grow tent for a discrete grow, keep in mind that the thickness of the material, ranging from 210D to 1680D, will play a key role in containing light, odor, sound, and heat. The D in this case stands for Denier and is a measurement of a unit of linear mass density of fibers. If you are planning on setting up your grow tent in a shed, unheated garage or basement you should consider purchasing a tent with a higher denier rating as it will be more durable.

Energy Efficiency

The reflective mylar used to line the walls of your grow tent will maximize the efficiency of your grow light by reflecting it onto your plants instead of losing it to the surrounding environment.

What size of grow tent should I get?

There are many different sizes of grow tents.

Some of them are small enough to put on a desk and some of them are large enough to be their own walk-in closets.

There are also massive tents that can take up an entire room and are great for filling up a basement if you have a lot of plants to cultivate.

So, how do you pick a grow tent that is the right size for your needs?

In general, each plant you grow requires 1 sq ft of grow space.

This allows each plant to grow to its full potential without obstructing other plants.

Therefore, if you wanted to grow 3 plants, you would need a grow tent that was at least 3ft x 3ft.

Grow Tent Height

Most grow tents that you look at will be between 4 -7 foot in height.

If left to their own devices, plants can grow much taller than this.

Therefore, it’s important that you perfom some basic training techniques to ensure that you’re plant will not grow too tall.

Conclusion

Grow tents are a very useful tool for growing plants indoors.

They keep your plants safe from pests, help control the funky smell, increase the light that your plants get and make it easy to control the environment.

This means you get better yield results and endure less stress while growing.

Choosing a grow tent for your project does not have to be difficult.

As long as you know how many plants you want to grow and understand what makes a good grow tent, you can’t go wrong.

Good luck with your grow tent selection!
