Benefits of Using a Grow Tent

A grow tent is a convenient place to cultivate crops, particularly if you do not have the luxury of a greenhouse or the space for a grow room. Grow tents can also be exceptional value for money, as long as you look for a quality product that incorporates certain key features.

Important features of a grow tent include:

• High quality material for the wall and rood that is lightweight, flame retardant and lightproof.
• Reflective inner surface that maximises the light received by each plant.
• Poles and roof supports that are strong and sturdy, particularly the roof supports which are the place to hang grow lights, fans and other equipment.
• High quality zips that not only keep the grow tent sturdy but also ensure that no light leaks out.
• A floor tray which can catch any spillages and can be removed for easy cleaning.
• Sealable holes within the outer wall to allow for air extraction and power cables.

Benefits

Grow tents are an excellent option for first time hydroponics growers, the investment doesn’t have to be monstrous, especially with the smaller grow tents available on the market. That said, even for experienced hydroponic gardeners a tent can be a highly useful addition to any set up.

The reflective and flame retardant walls of the grow tent are highly useful, saving the hassle of kitting out a grown room with reflective material and ensuring that plants receive the maximum amount of light. The zips, seals and stitching are all vitally important in making sure that no light leaks from the tent which is wasteful and adds to your electricity bills.

In most cases when you buy a grow tent, the pack comes ready for self assembly and contains everything you need to get started. Some models are multilayered for propagation purposes and many can be adapted by removing walls to create enough space for an entire crop.

The portability of tents is highly beneficial, in most instances if you have to move your tent it is possible to partially deconstruct it to fit it through doorways.

Finally the sheer range of sizes makes grow tents a one stop solution over and above creating your own grow room. Meaning whether you have one plat or many you can find a tent to meet your requirements.

Whether you have one plant or an entire crop, grow tents can be considered a worthwhile investment which provides a convenient, practical and high performance growing space.
