Grow Tents Help Control The Grow Environment

When growing anything indoors, the climate you are growing in will dictate your results. Just as with growing outside, some plants do better in different parts of the country due to varying temperatures, humidity, and other environmental factors. Typically a plant with the same exact genetics can look quite a bit different from the very same plant with the same genetics, but grown under different environmental conditions.

By using a grow tent, within your grow space, you are able to control the environment within the grow room much easier than just having your plants out in the grow space. Having a smaller area to control is much easier than trying to control a whole room. Grow tents range drastically in size with tents being anywhere from 2x2x2 up to as much as 8x8x8 and potentially even bigger, so you shouldnt have a problem finding a tent somewhere in between that fits your grow space, whether it be a grow closet or a whole unfinished basement.

Grow tents typically will come standard with multiple vents and other openings to allow for ducting and fresh air flow. It is recommended to have your air intake at the lower part of your tent, at the opposite side as your air exhaust. Your exhaust should be up at the top of the tent, due to the fact that hot air rises. Controlling the heat given off by the HID lights is a constant battle when you are dealing with warm temperatures outside. Being able to vent off that hot air directly from the light through an air ventilated hood is always a plus. If you can go the extra mile and get a water cooled light, you are even better off, but probably quite a bit poorer at the same time.

However big you decide to get with your grow, using a grow tent inside your grow room will really help you take control over the growing environment. Most plants are very susceptible to environmental changes, so being able to monitor your grow room and make the necessary changes is imperative to success.
