There are a wide range of different grow tents for hydroponics. You can find a size that is suitable for the space you have, ranging from just 60cm by 60cm at the smaller end, to 300cm by 300cm for the larger tents. A choice of heights is also on offer so make sure to measure the available headroom. The great thing about grow tents is that they come flat packed for convenience, meaning you can move them into position before being erected. This is handy if you need to get the item upstairs or through a small doorway. Once it is in place, a grow tent will contain your growing system in a neat and orderly way, and it will also protect your plants from accidental knocks by pets and children.

When choosing the model of grow tent you need, look at the varying features of each one. There are access openings on the sides or front of the tent, and some models have more than one doorway. These can be closed in different ways with heavy-duty zips or Velcro depending on the product. The number and position of the vents can vary, these are incorporated in the tent to allow you to control the temperature and humidity. Each grow tent has a strong frame enabling you to hang accessories such as lighting from the crossbars. Please read through each product description to fully understand the features of each model.

The fabric covering is waterproof and fire-resistant and comes equipped with well-fitted zips which permit easy access to your plants, but without any light escaping. It is also manufactured with pre-fitted adjustable ports so you can connect the ducting and power cables without any difficulties. The other benefits of this material are that it can keep pests away from your growing plants but keep odours in. We sell a wide variety of differently-sized grow tents which are suitable for both amateurs and professionals. Before choosing a grow tent, there are a number of factors you should take into account. Apart from your budget, you should also consider the available space you have, allowing extra room around the tent for ventilation ducting and easy access for maintenance.
You should also think about what stage your plants will be. Propagation of plants requires the least room, but at the flowering stage, there needs to be sufficient height in the tent for plants to reach their full size. Although experts recommend that plants at different stages of growth should be cultivated separately, it is possible to purchase grow tents which are sectioned off to allow you to cultivate plants at different stages of their life-cycle. Alternatively, you might choose to buy more than one grow room – space permitting.
You should also take into consideration the other accessories that you will be purchasing. For the most effective results and higher yields, your grow room should be compatible with all your other hydroponic accessories such as your lights. These should be both the right size and installed at the correct distance from your plants.
