Indoor Grow Tent Kits and Complete Grow Tent Packages 

There are plenty of benefits to using an indoor grow tent kit for your hydroponic gardening. Not only do they allow you to create an ideal microenvironment for your plants, but they also keep your growing area tidy and contained.  Most grow tent kits offer all of the regular features and fixtures of basic grow tents, but they also bundle extra components and accessories into one package. Complete grow tent kits usually provide both value and convenience, and there is no need to go through the hassle of purchasing all of the add-ons separately. Let’s first take a look at some of the advantages of using indoor grow tent kits and grow tent packages, and then review the best complete, bundled grow kits on the market today.

What are Grow Tent Kits?

Outdoor growing conditions are subject to the whims of Mother Nature. With grow tent kits, indoor gardeners are in total control of the growing conditions plants. Grow tents are easy to assemble – requiring little to no tools – and can be moved around to different locations with minimal effort. They have a small footprint and fit comfortably in an apartment, living room, bedroom, garage, basement, or closet space. Cannabis growers can especially benefit from grow tent kits because they provide a discreet grow space and keep odors to a minimum (with added carbon filtration and exhaust fans). See our page Best Grow Cabinets page for even more discreet options. 

Once a grow tent is assembled, you will then add your components to complete the setup. Grow tent kit accessories include grow lights, oscillating fans, inline/exhaust fans/ducting, CO2 tanks, emitters, and CO2, humidity, and temperature meters, among others.  A complete grow tent kit bundles all the components you need without purchasing them separately. Of course, you can also piece it together one-by-one if you wish to create your own grow room. However, this can be time-consuming and more expensive when all is said and done.

Advantages of using Grow Tents Kits

• Perfect for Indoor Growing – Grow tent kits provide a tidy and clutter-free environment for an indoor garden. All your plants and components are kept inside these compact grow boxes (no more tripping over wires and equipment) and there is no annoying grow light reflections from bright grow lights.

• Adaptable – Grow tent kits can be used for any hydroponics application, like herbs, vegetables, flowers, marijuana, seedlings, cloning, or whatever else may benefit from this microenvironment. They come in various shapes and sizes and are lightweight enough to be transported from room to room with minimal effort. Their frames are constructed with metal poles and attaching fixtures, while the outer shell is made from a thick, durable, and light-proof canvas material. Most tents have ventilation features to promote aeration, and zip-open access points which allow you to tend to your plants without ever stepping foot inside the tent. There are also circular holes for installing carbon filters,  inline fans, and ducting.

• Optimal Lighting – Most grow tents are lined with a highly-reflective, heat-resistant, polyester resin material called Mylar. This maximizes the effects of grow lights by completely surrounding plants with reflection from all angles.

• Energy Efficient – Because grow tent kits create an enclosed growing environment, this contained space allows you to maximize your gardening energy without wasting resources. Grow tents also help to retain heat put off by the grow lights.

• Fewer Pests – Insect infestations – from such pests as spider mites, aphids, flies, and bugs – can wreak havoc on your indoor crops. Grow tents decrease the likelihood of pests invading your plants. They are also a safeguard against pets, children, and toxic contaminants entering into your fragile gardening space.

• Reduces odors – Cannabis growers are especially concerned with odor control. Grow tent kits help to contain odors within its walls. You can further minimize the smell of weed by using carbon filtration to purify the air within the grow tent and subsequently releasing the filtered odorless air outside of the tent (with the help of inline fans and ducting).

• Components: Some of the components your grow tent package may include (or you can include yourself) are grow lights, grow light hangers, waterproof floor trays, oscillating fans, inline fans, ducting, and carbon filter. You may also choose to boost CO2 with a CO2 tank and emitter, as well as CO2, temperature, and humidity meters. See our Marijuana Growing Supplies page for a list of related products.
