 Indoor gardening has become very popular right now. With the help of the best grow tent, your possibilities are endless.

There are no restrictions on the types of plants you plan to grow. Plant growing tents can be easily installed in any room of your choice.

Plant growing tents are the best spaces for hydroponics growth because they prevent odors from spreading outside the tent.

Because of the way the tent is grown, it is also suitable for growing other plants.

The basic types are standard or heavy, but there are also tents with multiple rooms or seedling growth.

If you’re having trouble finding and choosing an indoor grow tent, here are some suggestions.

What are the benefits of using a grow tent?

1. Promotes photosynthesis: The grow tent’s reflective Mylar interior “wall” ensures your plants get plenty of high-quality light from all angles without light leakage. This eliminates the problem of yellowing lower leaves and/or weak and failing stems and branches that do not face the light source. Every surface of every plant receives ample light. The tent is “lightproof” or “light-tight” so you can control the light intensity and exposure your plants receive.

2. CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT: With a grow tent; you have full control over temperature and humidity levels, so you can focus on establishing the perfect growing conditions for any plant you want.

3. Save money: Controlling climate and ventilation in a small grow tent costs much less than an entire room.

4. Odor Control: When applying liquid plant fertilizers or chemicals on plants, you don’t need to worry about odors affecting your indoor air quality. They will continue to be confined to grow tents.

5. Control the noise: The best quality tents will actually be sound-dampening.

If you buy into the theory that music, white noise, or other sounds are conducive to successful plant growth, you can provide that ambience to your plants and prevent these sounds from entering your living environment if you purchase high-quality plantings with sound buffering tent.

Conversely, if you have a noisy home, your plants won’t be disturbed by your cluttered environment.

What to Consider When Buying Grow Tents — Buyer’s Guide

If you’re still unsure about which growing tent you want to spend your money on, it can help to know a little bit about what to look for when shopping for one. It’s also helpful to research the growing practice itself so you can predict what your needs will be.

Before you buy, make sure you ask yourself what’s important to you and seek out a tent that can provide just that. Below are a few things to consider before buying online.

Size
Grow tents are available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate a variety of indoor spaces. The interior size and height are two crucial factors to take into account when you’re browsing products.

A lot of beginners overlook the height when buying a tent, but it’s one of the most critical concerns. Ideally, you want to try to maximize the height of your tent to place the grow lights in the right spot. When you have extra height on top, you’ll also leave room for things like wall fans, air filters, and ducting.

Keep in mind that since you need all of these features included inside the tent, you won’t be able to use all the space to grow. For example, if you’re looking at a 5 x 5 grow tent, you’ll likely only have about 4 x 4 space for plants.

So first, you’ll need to determine how many plants you want to grow. You’ll also need to decide what strain you want to grow and what method you will use to grow: soil-bound or hydroponically.

At a minimum, your grow tent should be two feet tall. However, as tall as your space will allow is always best.

Durability
You can expect the cost you pay for the tent to reflect in its durability. Lower-end products typically consist of thinner, flimsier materials, which can lead to problems down the road. Things like broken joints, zipper snags, and light leaks might not seem like a big deal at first, but they can be a real hassle. They can also slow down your growing production.

Remember — you’ll need to use this tent daily. It will get jostled around a bit, so invest in something sturdy enough to handle it.

Weight Capacity
Something that many people skip over when browsing online is the tent’s weight capacity. Your tent will need to support various equipment, so make sure it can handle its load. If necessary, check the weight of the lights and other equipment you plan to bring into the tent to see if the listed weight capacity is in the right range.

Ducting/Cord Ports
Make sure you check out the ventilation in a grow tent before you buy it. Ventilation is paramount to successful plant growth. You’ll struggle to get that with poor quality ducting and cord ports.

Aside from the quality of the parts, you also want to account for the number of ports. Ensure it will be able to support the equipment you plan to use while growing.
