Perpetual Harvest Multi-Chamber Grow Tent Kit Creator

Step 1. Choose your multi-chamber tent size

Before even considering which light you want to grow with, you need to choose your tent!

This will depend on how much space you have to grow, and how many plants you want at one time.

Our post on grow room design will help you with this step.

After you have selected your length and width, you will choose your height. These tents tend to be shorter in height than a standard grow tent. You'll need to keep that in mind when planning your grow. You also need to consider that the size of your tent may be 3' x 4', for example, but that's divided amongst multiple chambers. You won't have 12 square feet of growing space, but rather a 9 square foot flower chamber with roughly a 3 square foot veg chamber and propagation chamber.

Note - your original tent selection will determine what options you are presented for tent height and tent brand. If you select a certain length/width and then don’t see the height option or tent brand you want, it is because it is not available for that size tent. You can try making a different original selection!

Step 2. Choose your grow lights

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

The first light you choose will be for your flower chamber. This will be your most important light, and it needs to be strong enough to promote bud development. It also needs to have an optimized spectrum for flower. To make things simple, we only provide LED lights as options for this step.

The next step is choosing a light for your veg chamber. You have the option to grab another light after that for your propagation chamber, but its up to you if you want a third or not. Your options here are T5 and LED. We recommend T5 for propagation because lighting needs are pretty low when your plants are so young.

Step 3. Add a ventilation system

After you select your 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 LED 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 LED 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.
