This article is intended for anyone looking for an easily-attainable, user-friendly grow tent available from a local retailer. Whether or not you choose one of these options, reading this article can help you get a sense of what key features to look for when buying a grow tent locally or online.
Costway Indoor Grow Tent, Room Reflective Hydroponic Non-Toxic Clone Hut
Available at Walmart, the Costway Reflective Indoor Grow Tent is a best-selling product that can easily be acquired from your local in-store or online retailer. This is a user-friendly tent perfect for beginners, with easy installation and clear instructions provided. Easy to clean, this tent features a removable mylar floor tray that makes it easy to clean any residue, spills, or water that collect at the bottom of your tent. The base of this tent measures 2×2 feet, with a height of 4 feet, making this perfect for those in a smaller indoor setting growing taller strains.
This grow tent features reflective lining, a coveted feature that prevents light leakage, keeping the output of your lights contained within your grow tent, while reinforcing and balancing light consistency, levels, and coverage. In addition, the reflective lining of this tent balances moisture to optimize germination and flowering. The outer walls of this tent are created from durable, tear-proof Oxford cloth double-stitched for resilience. This tent offers maximum stability with a sturdy, heavy-duty coated iron metal frame.
Virtual Sun VS4800-24 Reflective Grow Tent
The Virtual Sun Reflective Grow Tent measures 4’x2’, and stands five feet tall. Ideal for indoor growing, this tent provides an enclosed environment that allows growers to control and monitor humidity, temperature, and lighting. The reflective interior of this Virtual Sun Tent is composed of waterproof, reflective mylar designed to provide superior, even light distribution to achieve maximum light penetration. This also aids insulation, which ensures that the growing climate you establish remains consistent, while heavy duty zippers prevent leakage. This reflected light optimizes coverage, while the tent’s heavy-duty exterior (created from Oxford cloth, an industry standard) makes this product resistant to rips or tears. Moreover, this tent is incredibly easy to set up, with no tools needed to set up or take down your tent.
Hydro Crunch Heavy Duty Grow Room Tent
With its narrow base and tall height, this tent is perfect for growing one plant at a time. The Hydro Crunch Grow Tent can fit in small indoor spaces, while providing plenty of overhead space to hang your lights and assemble your fans. Though this tent is relatively small, it can accommodate one autoflowering plant due to the small size of ruderalis crossbreeds, while also accommodating a modestly sized grow kit. This makes the Hydro Crunch the perfect starter tent for beginners planning their first grow, or for those who want to grow cannabis indoors but have space limitations. Though this tent is only wide enough to fit one plant at a time, it’s small size in no way compromises its quality or suitability for growing autoflowering cannabis. In keeping with the highest industry standards, the Hydro Crunch features an exterior composed of Oxford cloth and reflective, waterproof mylar lining. The Hydro Crunch also features an observation window, a crucial feature that allows you to observe your plant from outside without having to squeeze into a tight space.
Zimtown Hydroponic Water Resistant Grow Tent
The Zimtown Hydroponic Water Resistant Grow Tent measures 7’x4’x6’, ideal for those interested in taking advantage of the ability to grow multiple autoflowering plants at once. This allows growers to cultivate different strains simultaneously, and to use the same grow tent for multiple plants at all stages of the growth cycle. This unique tent features an observation window that allows you to look inside and monitor your plants from the exterior of the tent. With a double-stitched exterior for durability, this tent features a removable mylar floor tray to collect debris for easy cleaning. Meanwhile, reflective and waterproof mylar lines the tent interior to optimize lighting conditions while preventing light leakage.
Ktaxon Dismountable Hydroponic Home Growing Tent
Measuring 4×8’ with a height of 7 feet, this Ktaxon tent is the perfect choice for indoor growers seeking to grow multiple plants simultaneously. After all, this is one major advantage of autoflowering cannabis: because you can use the same lighting and environmental conditions throughout the growing cycle, autoflowering cannabis plants at different stages of maturation can be grown in the same tent under the same conditions. This tent provides enough space to grow multiple plants in the same place at one time, as autoflowering cannabis thrives under the same conditions throughout the growing cycle. This allows you to combine younger plants and more mature ones, or to grow several strains at once to vary your yields. This larger-sized tent also provides room for growers interested in cultivating strains known to have a larger or taller stature than the typical autoflowering plant. This tent features an observation window that will allow you to monitor the progress of your plants from outside, while tool-free installation makes this grow tent easy to set up and take down.
Gorilla Grow Tent Lite Line 4’x4′
Gorilla Grow is a reputable brand known for its high-quality tents, and the company introduced the Grow Tent Lite in order to deliver the same quality standards to those shopping for grow tents on a budget. This 4’x4’ tent can accommodate two to three plants – though you should research strain size and growth characteristics before planting several – which makes it perfect for growers with small space who are still looking for a grow tent that can accommodate more than one plant simultaneously.
Conclusion
These are just a few examples of the type of grow tents that you can find at your local department store: other stores, such as Home Depot, also offer a wide variety of options. No matter where you shop, keep these features in mind as you decide which grow tent to buy for your autoflowering cannabis plants:
- Fabric Durability. When shopping for a grow tent, look for a product with an exterior made of a durable fabric. Any rips, tears, or other damage to the exterior of your grow tent will negatively impact the environment inside.
- Size. Before you begin shopping, you’ll need to decide the size of the tent that your indoor growing ambitions will require. In doing so, you should take several factors into consideration. These include strains, which grow to varying sizes; the number of plants you intend to grow; and how much space you have available for an indoor grow tent. Another important factor to consider is height: generally speaking, you’ll want a taller grow tent, no matter how wide. This will give you enough room to assemble equipment such as fans and lighting.
- Ventilation. Be sure to check that the tent you choose has enough ventilation slots to accommodate your air circulation system.
- Assembly and Cleanup: Those looking for user-friendly tents should consider products with some of the features discussed below, which include tool-free assembly and removable cleaning trays.
- Reflective interior: Tents with reflective mylar interiors enhance light penetration and coverage.
Grow tents with these features have considerable advantages, and as this overview intends to show, they are available and easily attainable through a diverse variety of online and in-store retailers.
