Grow Tent Kits

What Exactly Is A Grow Tent Kit?

If you’re looking to cultivate plants indoors this season, you need a complete grow tent kit. These kits are the best solution for bringing the garden inside.

Whether you want to grow in your closet, a spare bedroom, or even a shed or garage, we have an indoor grow tent kit for sale to meet your needs!

These kits help contain the mess of your garden, allowing you to feel comfortable bringing the garden into your home. You won’t have to worry about plant debris, soil, or nutrient spills damaging your carpet or hardwood floors - these tents are spill-proof!

They also include everything you need to start growing. Along with the tent itself, you get grow lights (or two, depending on the size of your tent) of your choice, and a ventilation system. We’ll cover what else is included, and what additional items you may need, later on.

Who is an Indoor Grow Tent Kit For?

A complete indoor grow tent kit is a portable and reusable grow room, perfect for those who want to start growing plants indoors but fear compromising privacy or making a mess in their house. Growing in a closet or a separate room in your home can be expensive and messy, and isn't always feasible. This is one of the many reasons home growers are switching to tent kits. Grow tent kits provide a discrete and efficient growing environment, superior to a spare bedroom or linen closet. They come in sizes ranging from 2’ x 2’, which can fit in your closet, to 10’ x 10’, which is large enough to fill a garage! There truly is a package for everyone.

Why You Should Buy A Complete Grow Tent Kit For Growing Indoors

If you're wondering whether you should buy an indoor grow tent kit, consider this: there is no better way to set up an indoor grow room on a budget. Transforming a closet, garage, or spare bedroom into a suitable growing environment is difficult, costly, and for most hobbyists, not worth it. By investing in our indoor grow kit, you get an entire setup without having to make any alterations to your home!

You won't have to worry about whether your grow light covers the right footprint for your tent. Nor will you need to stress about whether your exhaust fan is strong enough to adequately ventilate your chosen tent size - we configure everything for you, removing any guesswork so you can start growing right away!

Better yet, you get everything you need to start growing - a tent, grow light, and exhaust system for less. You can add on whatever else you need to make your grow easier, but these are the basics. We'll cover what else is included shortly. Whether you're a new grower looking to start or an experienced green thumb looking to upgrade, there is no better option than our grow tent kits.

Another reason so many growers are investing in our indoor grow tent kits is the ability to grow top-shelf plants year-round. You aren't limited by the seasons, so you'll never run out - enjoy all the flowers you can cultivate, all in the comfort of your home. Plus, you can grow higher quality plants with indoor growing.

Choosing a Complete Grow Tent Kit

There are many indoor grow kits on the market, and shopping can get overwhelming. We recommend you first determine how you want to design your grow room. Your ideal grow tent will differ if you want to grow in a small closet versus devoting your entire garage to growing. Check out some of the most common grow room examples in this article. Once you have a better idea of how you will grow with your tent, you can check out our grow tent buying guide to learn what to look for when buying a tent.

What Are The Different Types Of Indoor Grow Tent Kits?

At Hydrobuilder, we offer a variety of indoor grow tent kits to suit every need. Whether you're looking for a standard single chamber for growing one batch of plants at a time, or a multi-chamber setup for perpetual harvests, we have you covered. Our grow tent systems feature the latest in lighting technology:

We also offer grow cabinets, which provide a similar setup but use a hard cabinet instead of a soft canvas tent. These are ideal for growers seeking additional security and discretion for their indoor gardening.

What is Included in a Grow Tent System?

Grow tent systems are the best way to start growing plants indoors because they provide a fully outfitted growing environment. Purchasing each individual component for a grow room can be complicated and more expensive than our preconfigured tent kits. Our complete grow tent kits include a tent, a grow light of your choice, and a ventilation system. These three components form the core of your tent package, and you can add optional accessories to optimize your indoor gardening experience. Highly recommended additions include specific grow methods and any accessories you need to maximize plant growth in the comfort of your home!

Grow Tent

The foundation of our indoor grow tent kits is, of course, the tent itself. At Hydrobuilder, we feature two top brands: Covert and Gorilla Grow Tent. These industry leaders offer the best in grow tent technology, with Covert being the budget-friendly option and Gorilla Grow Tent catering to more serious growers with a higher budget.

We offer two types of indoor grow tent kits: standard and multi-chamber. Our standard grow tent systems feature a single chamber, allowing you to grow one cycle of plants at a time. Alternatively, multi-chamber grow tent kits have up to three chambers for propagation, vegetative growth, and flowering, enabling a perpetual harvest cycle every 4-6 weeks if managed correctly!

All our tents are light-proof and completely sealed to maintain the optimal temperature and humidity while containing odor and mess. They also offer better protection from pests and diseases compared to growing outdoors or in an open room.

With sizes ranging from 2' x 2' to 10' x 10', we have a complete grow tent package suitable for every type of grower.

Grow lights

Grow lights are crucial for any successful indoor garden. You can choose a grow tent kit based on the lighting system you prefer:

Our kits include the fixture, bulb, ballast, and reflector. Regardless of which lighting system you choose, you will also need lighting accessories such as a light timer. However, hangers are included in the kits! We highly recommend LED or CMH technology for their energy efficiency and the substantial, potent yields they produce. If you're on a budget, our MH & HPS grow tent packages are excellent choices, providing great plant growth without breaking the bank.

Ventilation System

One of the significant benefits of grow tent gardening is the ability to create a controlled growing environment without impacting the rest of your home. Therefore, it's essential to include a ventilation system in your grow tent package. Without it, you'll struggle with humidity, temperature control, and odors!

Are Indoor Grow Tent Kits Smell Proof?

Indoor grow tent systems equipped with an exhaust fan and a carbon filter are highly effective in eliminating odors. These components work together to expel smells from the growing environment. The carbon filter neutralizes garden odors, preventing them from spreading into your room or the rest of your house. Constantly recycling the air in the grow tent and introducing fresh air every 1-5 minutes keeps CO2, oxygen, temperature, and humidity levels under control. A complete ventilation system for your grow tent includes ducting to exhaust stagnant air, an exhaust fan, a carbon filter, a fan speed controller, and clip-on fans to create a cool breeze. For more details on creating an optimal growing environment, check out this full guide to grow tent ventilation.

Finish Your Complete Grow Tent Package By Adding Additional Supplies & Equipment

While the three basic components included in every tent package are the tent, grow light, and exhaust system, you'll need a few more items to start growing. If you're a serious grower, consider adding extra supplies and equipment.

First, choose your grow method. You might also want to add a CO2 kit to boost plant growth and health. Additionally, you'll need nutrients, pH equipment, harvest supplies, and other plant care essentials. Read on to see what else we recommend for those purchasing grow tent kits.

Grow Method

The next step in setting up your indoor grow tent kit is deciding whether to grow in soil or hydroponically. Each method has its pros and cons.

Complete Grow Tent Kits for Hydroponics

Using a hydroponic system in your indoor grow tent kit typically results in fewer plants compared to a soil grow tent. However, the quality and yield of the harvest are often superior, making hydroponic systems a popular choice among indoor growers. Once you've chosen a hydroponic grow tent kit, the next step is selecting hydroponic nutrients and the hydroponic grow media, which can include:

If you want to learn more about hydroponic growing, visit our learning center! Our Hydroponics 101 article will guide you through the basics of growing with hydroponic systems.

For more information on the best hydroponic systems of the year, check out our detailed article. It’s a great starting point to figure out which type of tent package you want and how to outfit it with a matching hydro system.

Complete Grow Tent Kits for Soil

Hydroponic systems have a steeper learning curve, so if you're new to indoor growing, we recommend starting with a complete grow tent kit for soil. These kits are simpler and allow you to grow more plants. You can add pots and saucers, and from there, choose a nutrient package and a growing medium such as:

Grow Tent Accessories

There are several essential tools every grower needs throughout the plant's life cycle, including:

Upgrading Your Indoor Grow Kit

All indoor grow kits come with the basic necessities to get your indoor garden started. Economy grow tents are great for beginners, but experienced growers may want to upgrade their systems for better results.

Multi-Chamber Grow Tents

One way to enhance your setup is with a multi-chamber grow tent. Also known as perpetual harvest grow tents, these include separate chambers for plants at different growth stages. This setup allows for a harvest every 8 weeks! With one chamber for flowering and another for vegging and propagation, you'll always have plants ready to harvest. Learn more about perpetual harvests in our blog.

CO2 Enrichment Kit

Introducing additional CO2 into your grow room can provide numerous benefits, such as:

Increased plant growth and vigor
Reduced impact of environmental stresses
Enhanced water and nutrient efficiency
Greater temperature tolerance for plants

A CO2 enrichment kit includes a tank, regulator, controller, and tubing. Many serious growers use some form of CO2 generation in their grow room or grow tent, and once you reach this level, you should too. We have an entire article on grow tent CO2 if you are interested in learning how this can elevate your grow tent package!

pH Kit

The pH level of your water or nutrient solution is crucial for plant health and growth. Ideally, you should feed your plants a solution with a pH range of 5.5-6.5, which is slightly acidic. If you're unsure about the pH levels you've been providing, it can be problematic. A pH adjusting kit includes pH up and down solutions, which are bases and acids, respectively. Depending on your current pH level, you add the appropriate solution to your nutrient mix and then re-measure using a pH meter. Ensuring the pH is in the optimal range allows your plants to absorb all available nutrients and minerals, leading to healthier, more robust plants. For more information on calibrating the pH level, check out our full guide.

Supplemental Lighting

While grow tent systems come with optimal lighting for the recommended number of plants, you can boost plant growth by adding supplemental or side lighting. This provides light from different angles and reaches areas of the plant that the canopy light might miss. Combining different types of lights can also create a fuller spectrum. For instance, if you have an MH and HPS grow tent, adding supplemental fluorescent or LED lighting can significantly enhance plant growth and yields. The most popular form of supplemental lighting is using LED Bars on the sides of your complete grow tent kit.

Other Upgrades

There are numerous ways to upgrade your grow tent, depending on its size and how advanced of a grower you are. For larger tents, you can improve the growing environment by adding humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air conditioners, or heaters. The specific equipment needed will depend on your current environmental conditions, but these upgrades are typically only necessary for larger tents.

Another essential upgrade for all grow tents is water purification. Reverse osmosis filters are crucial for separating harmful particulates from your water, especially if you're growing hydroponically. This ensures your plants receive the purest water possible, promoting better growth and health.
