Grow Tent Buying Guide

This buying guide will discuss the critical factors to consider before making your purchase. Check them out.

Type Of Exterior Fabric
The best grow tent kit should be made of Oxford fabric or canvas with a high density for maximum durability. Some tents are made of a low-density canvas of 600D, making them less durable.

However, the best kit should not be made of Oxford fabric with less than 1680 density. This is because the higher-density canvas is tear-proof, ensuring longer life.

Interior Construction
Overall, the best material for the interior is reflective Mylar. This material is not only waterproof but also highly reflective, thereby enhancing the effects of your lighting. However, you must check how effective the fabric is at reflecting light because some are only 98% while others are 100%.

Grow Lights Availability
Some kits come with grow lights, and others don’t. If you choose a unit with lights, make sure they are dimmable. This way, you can adjust the light intensity based on your plant’s growth stage.

Also, consider if the lights can cover the entire tent. In some cases, you may need to get more lights.

Ventilation System
The best kit should have a sound ventilation system for effective temperature, carbon dioxide, and humidity control. With this in mind, you should get a unit with an intake fan and carbon filter. More so, the kit should feature multiple duct ports so you can run more ventilation ducting.

Zippers Construction
The quality of the zipper is essential. Consider getting a grow tent featuring heavy-duty zippers to ensure they don’t break easily. Also, quality zippers should open and close without sticking. Double-stitched zippers with seam covers are the best because they don’t allow light leaks.

Weight Limit
The weight limit of your grow tent kit depends entirely on the frames’ durability. Generally, the best kits feature poles or structures made of all metal and can handle between 100 and 300 lbs. of weight. This allows you to add a variety of equipment inside the grow tent without worrying the tent could crumble down.

Ease Of Assembly
Last but not least, you need to consider how easy the grow kit is to set up. With this in mind, get a kit that includes an instructional manual and does not need any tools to set it up. Overall, the best kit should take at most 30 minutes to assemble.

Conclusion
