A grow tent kit promises supreme convenience for at-home plant cultivators. Instead of measuring and shopping for multiple tents, lights, and ventilation ducts, these kits come with everything you need to get started growing. But is a grow tent kit genuinely worth it?
For first-time indoor cultivators, buying a grow tent kit is the best decision for both cost & convenience. Grow tent kits are cheaper than buying parts separately. Plus, these kits provide growers with optimal control over their environment. Since all of the tools in a grow tent are pre-measured, there’s no need to break out your measuring tape and figure out which items will fit in your space.
It may seem like grow tent kits cost more than buying tools separately, but they always save indoor home-growers time, aggravation, and money.
What Home-Growers Should Know Before Picking A Grow Tent Kit?
If you’re sold on the benefits of buying a grow tent kit, you may be wondering how to pick the perfect product.
Firstly, you have to figure out the area you have to work with. Determine the maximum area you could comfortably fit a grow tent in, and please don’t forget to measure the height! Ideally, the grow tent you purchase will be slightly smaller than your total area for maximum ease & comfort.
When you have these measurements in hand, look at the dimensions of grow tent kits. It should be pretty easy to figure out which tents will squeeze into your space.
If you see multiple grow tent sizes that work for your area, ask yourself how many plants you’re interested in growing. You also have to factor in how tall your chosen strains will grow. Knowing all this info beforehand will help you determine how many plants you could comfortably plant in your grow tent’s allotted space.
The Three Essentials — WhatTo Consider Critically InEvery Grow Tent Kit
As you’re sifting through various grow tent kits, you should pay careful attention to the following tools:
- Grow light
- Grow tent
- Ventilation with carbon air filters
High-Quality LED Lighting = High-Potency Nugs
Grow Light is the most important part of the kit. This is because only the light source can directly promote plant growth in the set. The rest of the equipment, such as a tent and fan, provides the possibility to create a good environment for plant growth. Therefore, it is best for buyers to find a brand that mainly produces grow lights. In this way, the quality of the lights and the yield of the crop can be guaranteed. When we choose the grow light, we need to pay attention to two points, PPFD, and spectrum.
Firstly, in terms of lighting, your grow tent kit’s light should have the ideal PPFD and function for plant cultivation. In general, PPFD is best for plant growth in the range of 900-1000 µmol/m2/s. However, different growing stages require different PPFD. To easily achieve this purpose, a dimmer should be included in LED grow lights so you can adjust the light intensity throughout the growth process.
Secondly, although PPFD scores are significant for growing Plants indoors, they aren’t the only factor that makes a great LED grow light. Another feature buyers need to look out for is an LED light’s color spectrum. Full-spectrum LED grow lights are the best option for growing plants because they mimic the natural light from the sun. To date, only high-quality LED lights can provide growers with the full spectrum of light Plants needs for tremendous growth.
Furthermore, a professional LED light manufacturer should use high-quality chips. For example, Samsung chips, provide high-quality light efficiency and excellent heat dissipation. Other diode chips like BridgeLux chips and Epistar chips are good as well.
What’s So Significant About A Sturdy Grow Tent?
A professional tent will protect your plants from seed to harvest and is an easy task to choose a great tent.
Great grow tents should always have a high thread count (measured in “denier”). The higher the denier number, the less light will leak out of your unit. A crucial benefit of using an indoor grow tent is concentrating light penetration on your plant, so a superior grow tent needs high-quality threading.
You also have to ensure the grow tent in your kit can handle all the lights and ventilation equipment you intend to hang. Please double-check the weight specifications to see if your grow tent can withstand whatever you’re planning on putting on it.
If you don't know how to buy a professional tent, Mars Hydro tents are a good choice. Which common grow tent on the market use 600D, while Mars Hydro grow tents are made of thick 1680D canvas that does not leak light and is lined with the mylar reflective that increases light reflection by 25%. You may be concerned about the weight that the grow tent can load. Mars Hydro's sturdy and stable iron brackets can hold up to 200 pounds, safely carrying lighting and ventilation for plant growth.
Let Your Plants “Vent” Without The Stench!
Thirdly, a grow tent kit needs ventilation ducts and carbon air filters.
Ventilation may seem like a “secondary issue”, but a good airflow strategy and carbon air filters also prevent skunky plant smells from leaving your grow space. The ventilation system must be simple to operate and use, which will make your growth more efficient. When choosing a ventilator, it is best to have a speed controller or smart controller. It is convenient for growers to adjust the wind speed.
The poor quality ventilation system has a very short life cycle. A good manufacturer knows how discretion is a big deal for indoor plant cultivators. That’s why we only use premier carbon air filters made with virgin activated charcoal from Australia. Mars Hydro lab tests have shown these filters have phenomenal microporosity, which helps scoop up even the darkest of scents.
As for the quality of Mars' fans, there is even less to worry about. High-quality ABS plastic and motor ensure the durability and quietness of the fan, and the tilted fan blade increases the airflow by 40% compared with ordinary ones, and the air speed can reach 400CFM.
Although the three items above are essential to a grow tent kit, there are usually other items, such as grow bags, grow net and timer, etc. Kit accessories are useful as long as they are suitable for planting needs.
