Step 2. Choose your HPS grow light

After you have chosen a grow tent, you will be presented with a number of HPS grow lights that we have hand picked for your tent.

This takes a lot of the guesswork out of choosing a HPS grow tent kit, as we have chosen the best lights for that specific tent size. So, you know you are getting exactly what you need!

We have broken down these lights into good, better, or best, depending on your goals as a grower and your budget. Whether you want the best HPS grow light possible, or simply a dependable HPS light, we have plenty of options for you.

Step 3. Add a ventilation system

After you select an HPS grow light, you will choose a ventilation system for your tent. The ventilation system is a crucial component of your grow tent kit, and will help manage temperature/humidity and odors.

At the very least, you will need an exhaust kit to help expel hot, smelly air. If you are serious about your grow, you’ll need an intake kit as well. This will work to bring in fresh air while your exhaust system removes old air.

You also need at least one clip on fan to help circulate air and “make your plants dance”. Depending on the size of your tent, you may want a couple of these. Keeping the air circulating in your tent will strengthen stems, keep temps and odors lower, and help discourage pest and disease development.

Step 4. Choose your growing method - soil vs hydroponics

Once you’ve selected your ventilation system, you’ll need to make an important decision - your growing method.

You can choose between a complete hydroponic system or traditional soil and pots. If you are a new grower, you are probably better off with a complete grow tent kit for soil. Once you have a few grows under your belt, and feel more confident in your abilities, you can always upgrade to a hydroponic system.

Hydroponics is appealing for a number of reasons, with the main one being decreased time to harvest, less water used, cleaner growing conditions, and more. This style of growing can be really fun, but it is challenging. There is a steep learning curve and lots of moving pieces, so if you aren’t willing to dedicate plenty of time and energy to your grow, stick with the lower maintenance option - soil.

Step 5. Add any accessories and upgrades you may need

Once you have your tent, light, ventilation system, and growing method, you are essentially done!

While this is really all you need to grow (besides nutrients), you will inevitably need some accessories along the way.

These include scissors for pruning, trellis for training, propagation supplies for starting seeds/clones, and CO2 for boosting growth and yields.

You will need many of these at some point, so why not grab them while you’re here?! If you don't see the accessories you are looking for, don't worry. We have everything you could ever need for your grow tent, so just reach out to us or browse our site for it.

Step 6. Add your harvest supplies

The final step in building your HPS grow tent is adding your harvest supplies. You can grab drying racks, trimming equipment, and even extraction equipment!

Many growers procrastinate on grabbing harvest equipment, because it's so far down the road. But, it makes so much more sense to just grab everything you need right now, and then you don’t have to worry about anything down the line!

Most of what we have presented in this HPS grow tent kit builder is for hand trimming, but there is a good chance you may want a trimming machine, especially for the larger grow tent sizes.

If that is the case, we have trimming machines for every size grower! We also carry bucking machines, extraction equipment, storage supplies, and much more.
