The Differences Between Grow Tents and Grow Cabinets

September 28, 2018September 19, 2018 by admin, posted in Grow Cabinets, Grow Tents, Indoor Gardening

Which one should you get?

Both grow tents and grow cabinets provide the perfect growing conditions for plant indoors. They are both ideal for beginner growers who want to keep their indoor garden small. Although both can successfully grow healthy plants, one has features that the other doesn’t, and these will matter when it comes to your gardening needs. So if you are looking to grow indoor plants and wondering which one to get then, you’ve landed on the right article. This week, we will discuss the differences between grow tents and grow cabinets to help you decide which one to get.

Size and portability

The sizes of most grow tents are flexible; you can choose to make it bigger or higher by using extension kits that come with it. These tents are also made is so many sizes, all you have to do is choose the one that fits the available space you have at home. You can easily move them around as well when needed. Grow cabinets, on the other hand, have a fixed size and are not portable. So if you do not plan on moving around your grow space, you can go with a grow cabinet. However, if you plan on expanding your garden in the future, it’s best to go with a grow tent.

Assembly

A grow tent tends to get set up longer than a grow cabinet. The latter is pre-assembled, usually already has everything in it and all you need to do is just plug it in and start growing. Grow tents require effort and time as you will be installing everything, from the LED grow lights, to the fans and filters. If you do not want to go through the hassle of installation, go with the cabinet. However, if you have the time and would love to customize your grow space, the tent is the ideal one to get.

Durability

It is pretty apparent that when it comes to durability, the grow cabinet wins. Unless you are buying the high-quality tents, you won’t be worrying about wear and tear and busted zippers. So be prepared to invest in high-quality tents if you prefer them over the cabinets. The latter is made of a sturdy combination of steel and wood, just like the typical cabinet in your bedroom. Because of the materials it is made of, grow cabinets tend to be more expensive than grow tents.

Security

Grow cabinets are also perfect if you plan to be a discreet grower. These cabinets give privacy, and could easily pass as ordinary furniture in your living room or bedroom. Grow tents, on the other hand, are not too easy to hide from visitors. So if you regularly have people coming over and you don’t want them to know about your indoor garden, then it’s best to go with a grow cabinet.

Qualities of the Best Grow Tent

July 6, 2018June 29, 2018 by admin, posted in Grow Tents, Indoor Gardening

Pick out the best grow tent in the market; check out for these qualities.

Grow tents revolutionized indoor gardening. They give so many benefits to growers including privacy, best conditions for growth, and more yields. Grow tents allow indoor gardeners to grow peacefully, without worrying about unpredictable weather or pests. That said, grow tents are becoming increasingly popular nowadays. You can find many of these tents on the market, but not all can deliver. That is why you should be picky when it comes to purchasing them. To help you get the best one in the market, we listed down the top qualities of the best and most effective grow tent that can give you the best yields.

It should be made of high-quality materials.

You should check the material of the tent itself. It should be strong, dependable, and durable. There are different grades of materials so always go for the tent that it thick, so it sure is going to be light tight. Thick canvas material won’t be easily chewed on by pesky insects and bugs as well. Don’t forget to check the zippers and seams as well; they should not leak light. The zipper must be of high-quality, you don’t want zippers that always jam or breaks easily.

It should have a reflective inside material.

The inside of the tent should be of reflective material. It could be silver tone or white so they can reflect the light coming from your LED grow lights back to the plants. Without this lining, lighting won’t be distributed evenly to your crops. Gorilla Grow Tents use diamond reflection technology which allows them to produce more effective growing conditions.

It should be accessible.

The zippered doors of the tent should allow the grower to easily access the inside. The more access doors, the better. Some have view windows that allow growers to easily monitor all the plants without actually opening the whole unit. A 360-degree wrap around access will also make it easier for growers to maintain the plants.

It should come with adequate ports.

Plants will need proper ventilation so the tent should have ports for exhaust and intake ports at the top and near the bottom area. There should also be ports for cables and electricity. Aside from the number of ports, they should also be perfectly placed.

It should be sturdy.

The frame needs to be sturdy enough to hold the heavy canvas material. The bars should be made of steel, as they are the strongest and most reliable frame. It’s also best to get ones with interlocking metal frames and connectors so they won’t go wobbly and worse, crash on you and your plants.

It should be expandable.

Some plants grow tall, so you’ll need a tent that’s expandable. Some tents today offer extension kits that can expand your unit up to two feet taller. The best ones are the sturdy adjustable poles like that from Gorilla Grow Tents. Plus, a higher roof also allows large plants to yield bigger numbers of fruits and also allows the heat to rise up away from the plants.

Benefits of Grow Tents for Indoor Gardening

June 8, 2018June 23, 2018 by admin, posted in Grow Tents, Indoor Gardening

Get to know why grow tents make indoor gardening much easier.

There are tools and supplies an indoor garden needs. And because it has become increasingly popular, more products are created to ease the growing process and to maximize yields. One of which is the grow tent. Now, would you consider getting one for your indoor garden? We would say yes, of course, because it has a whole lot of benefits if you are one serious urban gardener. This week, we listed down some of the many benefits grow tents provide indoor gardeners.

Maximizes lighting.

Because the interior walls of grow tents are made of reflective plastic, it gives a greenhouse effect, providing a suitable atmosphere for your plants’ growth. When you turn on your LED growth lights, it reflects back and forth on the plastic wall to the plants which of course, is better lighting. Also, installing your LED grow lights is not a chore; you’ll just have to set up the holders, attach the hood, and organize the wiring.

Efficient use of space.

Grow tents are a blessing to people who live in the city. They would not need a big area to turn into an indoor garden because these tents consume minimal spaces. Their space-saving properties also make efficient use of water and light.

Control of pests.

Indoor gardening is not 100% safe from predators such as flies, aphids, and spider mites. But because these tents are fully-enclosed, the chances of insects invading your grow space are minimal. Grow tents are designed to safeguard your plants from any bugs, and if your plants do get them, it’s much easier to remove these pests.

Eliminates bad odors.

You won’t have to worry about your home smelling like soil that may annoy people you share your home with. Because grow tents have an enclosed design, bad odors get trapped inside. The air purification system filters the air and eliminates the smell. Also, carbon filters supply carbon dioxide to your plants.

Needs less maintenance.

Because you can set up timers for your growth lights, drip feeding, watering, and ventilation, grow tents require less maintenance. Total automation of the growing process also allows urban gardeners to have a worry-free vacation for days.
