Grow tent - Choose quality grow tents in Canada

Whether you are looking to grow your entire crop indoors year-round or you need a seasonal solution to keep your plants safe during cooler months, a grow tent is a great solution to keep your crop thriving.

Indoor grow tents provide a flexible solution to bring your plants out of the elements and into a controlled growing environment. Today’s tents are made from a variety of materials that help keep the temperature consistent inside while also offering a way to keep pests and pesticides from damaging your crop.

What is a grow tent?

A grow tent is a portable, enclosed space specifically designed for growing plants indoors, and is usually tall with reflective interior walls. It is usually made of a metal frame covered with a reflective fabric material that helps to maximize the efficiency of grow lights. They often are equipped with features such as ports and vents.

These grow tents are used to grow different high-dollar crops that people can use in their everyday lives, as they can fit into some of the smallest closets. Yes, grow tents can be set up in any room and are a convenient way to create a controlled environment for growing plants without the fear of pests or other diseases infecting them!

Why use a grow tent?

Grow tents allow you to create a customized environment for your plants: creating the perfect conditions will optimize growth and yield. A grow tent will also help keep pests and diseases at bay, and can help reduce the risk of accidental exposure to harmful chemicals or other hazards.

Grow tents offer several benefits for indoor gardening and hydroponics. They provide a controlled environment for plants to grow, helping to ensure proper growth and development. A grow tent made with quality fabric (such as reflective fabric) can also prevent light leakage, which can be wasteful and harmful to plants. Grow tents also come with removable floor trays and observation windows, which make it easy to check on the plants and maintain the grow space.

Grow tents are an efficient way to use every feet of available space, as they can be set up in small or awkward areas that may not be suitable for traditional gardening.

What to consider when shopping for an indoor grow tent

When shopping for a grow tent, consider the size of the tent and the number of plants you want to grow. Also, look for tents made of high-quality reflective material, such as oxford cloth or reflective mylar, and with sturdy steel poles to support the structure. Other features to consider include an observation window, removable floor tray, and extra features such as multiple vents for proper ventilation. Be sure to also compare the price and product details of different grow tents before making a purchase!

Here are essential factors to consider when buying a grow tent kit:

What tent size do you need?

When it comes to growing plants indoors, the size of your grow tent is a critical factor to consider. This is because the size of the tent will determine how much space you have to work with, and also influences the weight and how many additional features are available. You definitely want to provide ample space for larger plants or taller plants.

If you are just starting out or are growing small plants that don't require a lot of space, a small tent measuring 2x2 or 3x3 feet may be suitable. If you need more space or are setting up a hydroponic grow, a larger tent may be a better choice. These larger tents will provide enough room for the additional equipment needed for hydroponic grows.

How many plants can fit in a grow tent?

Knowing dimensions is good, but is not enough for new or inexperienced indoor growers. Here is a general scale for pot plant capacity for various sized tents:

• 2x2ft: 2 plants;
• 2x3ft: 2-3 plants;
• 2x4ft: 2-4 plants;
• 4x4ft: 4-6 plants;
• 5x5ft: 5-6 plants;
• 6x6ft: 2-8 plants;
• 8x4ft: 8-10 plants;
• 8x8ft: 14-16 plants;
• 10x10ft and larger: 30+ plants;

Frame quality and weight limit

When shopping for a grow tent, it's important to consider the quality of the internal frame: tent frames are often made of strong metal poles. This includes the gauge of the metal poles and the durability of the corner joints, which are all factors of a grow tent's weight limit!

The tent requires a sturdy metal frame to support the weight of any gear you need to suspend above the plants, such as lights, fans, and filters. Some tents also come with a height extension kit, avoiding the need to buy the tallest tents available. Don't just focus on the brand or price tag; these factors don't necessarily guarantee a high-quality tent while tent specifications on weight limit will!

Choose an indoor tent with high fabric quality

Another important factor to consider when selecting a grow tent is the tent fabric, especially the fabric density (measured in Denier (D)). The higher the Denier number, the thicker the material and the less likely the tent will have light leaks. Light leaks through the fabric can be problematic because they waste energy and reduce plant growth potential, which is why grow tents often use reflective fabric. 

Look at what ventilation the grow tent is equipped with

Proper tent ventilation allows you to control elements such as humidity levels, an essential component for healthy plant growth. However, many growers make the mistake of not providing sufficient ventilation ports in their grow tents: this can lead to issues such as heat build-up, pests, and mold. It would also be interesting to have a controlled ventilation system and carbon filters to be successful in indoor growing.

One way to provide proper ventilation in a grow tent is by setting up a ventilation system, which includes inlets and outlets for air ducting and equipment like intake and exhaust fans. Mesh ventilation windows are also important for allowing fresh air to enter the tent while hot air escapes, creating the right conditions for healthy growth and higher yields. The mesh should be fine enough to prevent pests from entering while creating good environmental conditions.

How many chambers do you need?

Some growers prefer to use two separate tents for the vegetative and flowering stages of plant growth, while others opt for multi-chamber tents for propagation, vegging, and flowering. The latter can be convenient for organization, but may not have enough space for larger plants and bigger yields. Those who need a lot of tent space might look at two separate tents, with one designated for seedlings and clones to veg in, and another for harvest. This allows for a perpetual harvest and a continuous supply of flowering plants.

Consider the tent doors and windows

Every grow tent has at least one door that allows access inside the tent. These doors can vary in size, but most run the entire height of the tent to allow easy access to all parts of it. It is important that the zippers on the doors properly seal the fabric shut to prevent light leaks and keep the heat inside to support plant growth. 

Some grow tents have viewing windows that allow you to check on your plants without opening the door and letting heat escape. However, these windows will need to have a cover to prevent light leaks or heat loss. The inclusion of windows is a personal choice, and some growers may prefer not to have them.

Find an easy to assemble tent

The ease of assembly for growing tents can vary. Some tents may require tools to set up, while others can be assembled without any additional tools. In general, the sturdier the tent, the more complex the assembly process may be. Grow tents come with instructions to help with the setup process, but the level of detail and specificity can vary.

If you are concerned about the complexity of assembly or the need for additional tools, you can check the grow tent manufacturer's description of the product to see if any extra tools are required. Most indoor grow tents can be assembled using only the materials provided in the kit.

Find the perfect growth tent according to your budget

The price of grow tents is another consideration. Higher quality tents will last longer (thicker fabric, quality ducts and vents, sturdy design), while cheaper ones may not withstand frequent use. Furthermore, while affordable tents may be suitable for temporary use, more expensive ones may be a better choice if you plan to use the tent for an extended period of time.

You will find multiple reliable and affordable grow tent options as well as more expensive options with a reputation for quality include Gorilla, Mars Hydro and The Living Room grow tents.
