Start growing plants indoors with the best grow tents that can create the ideal environment for your indoor garden. When space and persistence are important factors, a quality grow tent is essential to successful cultivation. The sides of the tent allow for proper ventilation, and the tent provides easy access to plants.

How big a grow tent do you need?

“The size of your grow tent will ultimately depend on how much you want to grow,” says Sears. “If you’re only going to grow one or two potted plants, you can use a small 2' by 2' or 2' by 4' tent. Large grow tents can be as large as 10' by 10' and can house dozens of plants. “

When you’re shopping for the best grow tent, you also need to consider how much space you need to use. If you only have a few plants in your home, we recommend starting with a small grow tent to save space and money. If you’re an experienced gardener with lots of greenery, you might benefit from a larger grow tent — but be prepared to sacrifice a lot of acreage.

What to pay attention to when choosing a grow tent

What Features Make Up the Best Grow Tent? Here’s what to look out for:

Expand tent size. The ideal size depends on your harvesting ambitions, lamp type and available space. A larger tent can get you upscale, but a big tent wastes resources. Typically, how many plants can a tent hold:

Fabric strength and density. Dense material increases durability and prevents light leakage. Don’t settle for less than 600D (denier, a measure of density) on an entry-level tent. Professional growers may choose the 1500–2000D.

High quality zippers and stitching. Zippers and stitching hold the canvas in place, so they must be durable. Look for metal or heavy-duty plastic and double-stitched seams.

Frame strength. The internal frame holds the canvas and equipment in place, so look for metal poles and sturdy corner joints. Check that it can carry gear before bringing it into the plant.

Vent. Grow tent ventilation removes stale air and prevents plant health problems. There should be at least two 6–8" intake and exhaust ports, but four is better.

View window. Keeping the tent cover open can disrupt the microclimate and cause light leaks. Windows allow you to inspect plants without disturbing the garden.

Accessory pocket. Growing plants requires tools for feeding, watering, and mowing. The pockets on the side of the tent are very convenient to keep everything in place.

Removable tray or overflow tray. Lingering runoff can damage power tools, increase humidity, and allow pathogens to multiply. Trays allow you to easily remove excess water, so don’t skip them.

Avoid PVC and PU canvas. They release toxic fumes that can harm you and your plants. Also, avoid cheap tents (under $100), as their affordability is often due to low-quality materials that can crack and leak light.
