What is a grow tent kit?

A grow tent kit is a term that refers to a number of products that work together to provide a balanced, healthy environment for plants. Each kit may be different, but in general, you can expect the following from a grow tent kit:

Grow Tent: Mylar-lined fabric box supported by metal poles. This contains your equipment and plants and is designed to help your plants grow better than they would on a windowsill or outside.
Grow Lights: Typically, this light is an LED system that provides the ideal light spectrum for growing plants from seedlings to full grown. Grow lights are an important part of these kits.
Ducted fans: Ducted fans are another important part of a balanced growing environment as it helps to refresh the air inside your tent, giving your plants fresh CO2 and controlled humidity.

Other accessories may include:
Carbon Filter — Used to remove odors from grow tents.
Ducts — Used to direct airflow out of the tent.

Reasons You May Need a Grow Tent

One of the best reasons to get a grow tent is that you can control everything inside. With just a few tweaks here and there, you can tune your environment to the perfect conditions your plants need to grow. Controlling the environment inside a tent is much easier than controlling a large room.

Growing in a tent does not require as much energy or electricity. Reflective materials on tent walls, floors and ceilings allow light to bounce and hit the plants directly without loss of energy. In a non-reflective space, where light is projected from lamps onto various surfaces and absorbed as heat and light, the amount of light reflected is very small (just enough for your eyes to see it), but if you have a reflective surface such as a mirror or poly ester film) light is actually “bent” at an angle and sent elsewhere. If all surfaces are reflective, the light will bounce around until it hits a surface that is not primarily your plant.

Grow tents are generally safer to use. Because it is completely enclosed, it can be hidden and it is less likely that people will accidentally find it. A planting operation might be nice in a closet or spare bedroom, but it’s much harder to hide when guests are over. A grow tent is completely enclosed and completely insulated, with a small padlock to keep nosy guests out.

It is much easier to control the air coming out of a grow tent than it is from an entire room. A simple air filtration system removes most of the odors from the plants, and since the tent is enclosed, odors are really only spread around the tent perimeter, and with the vents, you can be sure that the only air coming out is fresh and clean. This is easier to control than an open room.

It’s also much easier to control the temperature in a grow tent than in an open space. With a few adjustments, you can raise or lower the temperature very quickly. Since you’re confining the space, the temperature is restricted and doesn’t escape as quickly as it would in an open area.

Conclusion

Growing your own vegetables, herbs and spices is an exciting adventure. A grow tent may be just what you are looking for.

But if you’re trying a different tent, make sure you get the right lighting and filter size!
