What You Need

• Grow Tent (examples above)


• Grow Light


• Carbon Filter


• Possibly Ducting

Before getting started, make sure you’ve freed an afternoon to dedicate to this project. Take a minute to clean up the space you will be building your tent, as it’s easier to do it all in the beginning as opposed to while you’re working. Make sure to put together your tent at its final destination! You don’t want to build it only to realize it doesn’t fit through the doorway 

Best grow tent also need a best grow light. It can be difficult choosing exactly which grow light you want, but once you’ve made your decision at least it’s easy to hang your light! Compare different grow lights

The best way to hang your grow light is using rope ratchets if you can; they are cheap and easy to set up. Rope ratchets make it incredibly simple to adjust your lights at any time without the chance of dropping the light on your plants. Sometimes it’s helpful to be able to quickly put lights up or down, whether you want better access to the back of the tent without the light beaming on your head, or even just to take better pictures of your plants. Make sure whatever you use to secure the lights (rope ratchets!) can handle at least twice te amount of your light just to be safe!

Cheap rope ratchets allow you to move a grow light up and down with a few clicks, so you never need to hold up your light or worry you might drop your light on your plants.

I think the best way to make an efficient exhaust system is to hang your exhaust fan inside the tent. This significantly muffles the sound of the fan running, and lets you create a relatively straight path from your light to the fan for maximum circulation and airflow.

Use strong nylon rope or rope ratchets to hang your exhaust fan inside the grow tent (from the top bars) to dramatically reduce sound and vibration. Your fan will sound a lot louder if you just set it on top or on the outside of your tent!

If you’re using a grow light that has an air-cooled hood that contains all the heat, like many MH or HPS grow lights, you can connect the exhaust fan to the hood directly for ultra efficient cooling. This lets you vent hot air directly out a window so heat is never beaming down onto your plants.

For the best results, make sure there is a way for fresh air to get in. Grow tents almost always have removable vents near the bottom of the tent to let in fresh air. Some growers remove the covers completely, but that increases the chance the light will leak into the tent.

To get better airflow without light leaks, you can make a little “window” or light trap facing down (using the built-in intake vents) to let air through, but not light

Although some grower don’t use a carbon filter, they can unintentionally be making a trail that leads straight to their grow. Carbon filters ensure there are no smells whatsoever getting where they aren’t supposed to be in addition to providing peace of mind!

Just like the exhaust fan, I recommend hanging your carbon filter with rope ratchets because a carbon filter is surprisingly heavy and rope ratchets make it a lot easier to make adjustments!

It’s important that there is an air-tight line from the carbon filter to the fan (without any air leaks) in order to prevent smells from escaping the tent!

Growers often hang a carbon filter in the back of the tent so it’s less in the way.

You can connect a carbon filter directly to your exhaust fan if you don't have a hood

Or if you have an air-cooled hood you connect the carbon filter > light > exhaust fan. This is considered a “complete” exhaust system because it cools the grow light and scrubs all smells in one fell swoop.

No matter how you end up doing it, the main idea is to ensure any air leaving the tent must first pass through this carbon filter.

As long as you keep the tent closed and the fan on, you should never be able to smell cannabis in your home or outside. The negative air pressure caused by the sealed tent prevents any air inside the tent from leaking out.

If you’re still unsure about which growing tent you want to spend your money on, it can help to know a little bit about what to look for when shopping for one. It’s also helpful to research the growing practice itself so you can predict what your needs will be.

Before you buy, make sure you ask yourself what’s important to you and seek out a tent that can provide just that. Below are a few things to consider before buying online.

Size

Grow tents are available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate a variety of indoor spaces. The interior size and height are two crucial factors to take into account when you’re browsing products.

A lot of beginners overlook the height when buying a tent, but it’s one of the most critical concerns. Ideally, you want to try to maximize the height of your tent to place the grow lights in the right spot. When you have extra height on top, you’ll also leave room for things like wall fans, air filters, and ducting.

Keep in mind that since you need all of these features included inside the tent, you won’t be able to use all the space to grow. For example, if you’re looking at a 5 x 5 grow tent, you’ll likely only have about 4 x 4 space for plants.

So first, you’ll need to determine how many plants you want to grow. You’ll also need to decide what strain you want to grow and what method you will use to grow: soil-bound or hydroponically.

At a minimum, your grow tent should be two feet tall. However, as tall as your space will allow is always best.

Durability

You can expect the cost you pay for the tent to reflect in its durability. Lower-end products typically consist of thinner, flimsier materials, which can lead to problems down the road. Things like broken joints, zipper snags, and light leaks might not seem like a big deal at first, but they can be a real hassle. They can also slow down your growing production.

Remember – you’ll need to use this tent daily. It will get jostled around a bit, so invest in something sturdy enough to handle it.

While additional features aren’t necessary to create an optimal growing environment, they can certainly enhance the experience and make things easier. Some tent features that might appeal to indoor growers include:

Exterior Viewing Windows: This allows you to check in on the progress without having to go entirely in and out of the tent. Visibility is essential so that you can maintain the environment inside your tent.

Cinchable Ducting Vents: Vents that you can cinch allow you to get a tight seal on the lower intake and exhaust ducts where you’ll need to connect your fans.

Large Doors: A wide opening makes it easier to access your plants and bring equipment in and out.

Floor Trays: Removable floor trays will collect any moisture or runoff and make cleaning a breeze. Again, this will help you longterm in maintaining the environment inside the tent.

Bars for Lights: Lights are crucial to your indoor growing operation, so consider looking for a tent that comes with bars included to hold the lights.
