In the era of comprehensive urbanization, many people not only don’t have their own yards, but they don’t even have balconies in their apartments. This results in them having no opportunity to grow plants in the room, let alone harvesting them.

Fortunately, humans have found a solution to this problem, which is to build planting tents. These tents can be placed anywhere as they are equipped with LED lighting and ventilation. Here you will learn about the best of them.

Why Use a Grow Tent?

Someone new to indoor growing may be eager to plant a few seeds in a pot and place a light on it. After all, plants don’t really “need” a grow tent as much as they need water and light…right?

It’s true that grow tents aren’t a “necessary” part of growing, but they do take the stress out of growing indoors.

What size grow tent is right for your space?

Even if you like the reputation of a certain tent brand, if you can’t fit their tent in your space, it won’t work. Please measure in detail where you plan to place your grow tent. Your room should be slightly larger than the tent you want to place it in.

Please evaluate the height, width and length of each grow tent. If possible, use a smartphone measuring app to see if these specs make sense in your space.

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 4×4 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%.

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.
