If you love a bit of gardening but don’t have the outside space to cultivate your plants then it can be frustrating to say the least. If however you consider that a grow tent provides an interior space in which it is possible to rear and tend a garden then this frustration can soon be undone.

For those that use hydroponics, grow tents are frequently highlighted as one of the most important pieces of equipment and an essential purchase before setting up your indoor growing space.

But why are grow tents so important to your indoor gardening efforts?

The importance of the grow tent is revealed if you consider it as a complete growing environment for your plants, a mini ecosystem that must contain everything your plants need to flourish and grow. Within it you are in complete control and must regulate the elements, determining how much light, water, air and nutrients your plants receive whilst reducing the chances of pests or disease.

As such, it is important to make sure that any grow tent you buy is well built and capable of totally encapsulating the world within. This means that it must be manufactured from 100% lightproof material and will ideally have reflective lining to maximise the amount of light your plants receive. Similarly it must have zippers and openings that can be covered so they are also light proof, this is so important because if your plants receive light suddenly whilst in a dark schedule, this can cause problems. There are plenty of cheap grow tents on the market.

GrowBox's allow you to easily control the day and night, because they do not miss the outside world within GrowBox.

As well as grow tents however it is also important to ensure that the equipment you are using to control and maintain this environment is up to scratch.

or


high pressure sodium varieties.

In addition to lights you need to ensure that the ventilation in your grow tent is sufficient to stop overheating and to make sure that the air is circulated regularly. Your hydroponic system should have the capability to keep your plants suitably watered although you will have to carefully maintain and control the levels of nutrients added to the system.

By controlling these different aspects it is possible to create the ideal growing environment for your plants within the grow tent.


Get this balance right and it is possible to have healthy, productive and flourishing plants.
