What is a Grow Tent

A grow tent is a portable room that is used to grow plants indoors. A grow tent usually features a canvas exterior and a reflective interior to increase the effectiveness of the grow lights. A grow tent provides space for hydroponic gardening. Hydroponic gardening is a fancy word for growing plants with mineral nutrients instead of soil. It is also possible to use soil to grow plants in a grow tent. It features insulated walls that ensure the ideal climate for the plants inside. Inside a grow tent, there is a special light that simulates sunlight to plants.  

 

Why Use a Grow Tent 

A grow tent can be very helpful for people that desire to grow plants all year round. A grow tent also allows for a controlled environment. With a grow tent you can control the light, water, temperature and humidity depending on the conditions that your plants need. Another feature about grow tents that is often understated is the convenience of a grow tent. With an indoor garden, you can tend to your garden regardless of the weather outside. You can also put your grow tent anywhere in your house, making it easily accessible for whatever tasks there may be at hand. 

How to Set Up a Grow Tent 

There are many important factors that lead to a successful crop when setting up a grow tent. Below are some key points that you will want to take care of before you start growing. 

Airflow 

In a grow tent, airflow is critical to a plant's success. It is important to note that humid air is lighter than the air surrounding it, so it will rise to the top of the tent. Furthermore, CO2, which is essential for plant growth will settle near the bottom of the tent. A fan located on the bottom of your grow tent can help with balancing out the level of humidity and the distribution of CO2.

Humidity Level 

The humidity of the air within the tent is also critical for the plants' success. When managing the humidity level, it is important to keep it consistent. Plants have a hard time adapting to change. If you find that your tent has a relatively high level of humidity, a dehumidifier may be a potential solution to combat this problem.

On the other hand, there are also many ways to increase the humidity within your grow tent. You can start off by purchasing a humidifier. Secondly, you can place trays of water or wet cloths wherever possible. The heat from the grow lamp will evaporate the water and add humidity to the environment. Another option would be to place large plants in the grow tent. Through the respiration process, water vapour will be released. Lastly, an increase in humidity can also be achieved by decreasing the temperature inside or outside of the tent. Cooler air has a higher density, translating to a higher level of water vapour. Regarding this principle, it would also make sense to place your grow room tent in your basement, where the air is the densest if you want to increase the humidity.

Ventilation 

Most indoor grow tents do not come with a ventilation system, and it is often advised that you install one. Without an air filtration system, the grow tent has the potential to become very stagnant. The image below depicts an ideal setup for a ventilation system. One reason to use a ventilation system is because it can remove the heat that rises above the light. The system also ensures a continuous airflow between the outside environment and the tent. Ventilation is critical to maintaining healthy plants, elimination odours and maintaining clean air.
