What is a marijuana grow kit?
A marijuana grow kit is also know as a marijuana grow tent kit, marijuana grow room or marijuana grow tent package. It is a complete all-in-one marijuana growing package that contains a grow tent and all the accessories and equipment needed to start growing weed indoors.
At a minimum a cannabis grow kit includes a grow tent and grow lights. The indoor grow kit typically also includes fans, filters, rods, beams, connectors, thermometers and other accessories.
Benefits of a marijuana grow kit
-
Complete setup: A marijuana grow kit comes as a complete weed growing setup. All needed equipment is included. Common features are fans and filters to regulate ventilation and air quality, grow lights and reflective inner material interior to enhance lighting. Most marijuana grow kits also include equipment like pumps, timers, nutrients, pH adjusters and grow media.
-
Cost-effective: Marijuana grow tent kits make good financial sense, especially for the beginner or small-scale weed grower. At first the price of a marijuana grow kit may seem high. However, when you add up the price of the included components, you will be pleasantly surprised.
-
Less risky: Setting up an indoor marijuana grow can be risky business. You can fall into many unforeseen traps. Unless you are an expert, you don’t known if the grow tent, lights, cooling system and other components will match each other. The components that go into marijuana grow kits, on the other hand, are selected by expert growers who have experimented and know exactly what works perfectly with what.
-
Optimal space-light balance: Marijuana grow kits include tents of exactly the right size for optimal internal reflectivity for the included lighting.
-
Objective specific: Grow tents by their very nature are spaces created specifically for the purpose of growing plants. The marijuana grow tent kit is optimized for this sole purpose. A cabinet, room, basement or other space that has been converted into a grow space has its own complexities and peculiarities that need to be taken into account.
-
Controlled environment: It is easy to control and adjust conditions in the compact space of a marijuana grow kit. Lighting, temperature, humidity and ventilation are far easier to control in an enclosed environment.
-
Discreet: An major advantage of a marijuana grow kit is the fact that they hide your grow away from prying eyes. While the tent is designed to keep light out and in, it serves a dual purpose because it also keeps your grow private and away from inquisitive people. This is vital for stealth growers.
-
Odorless: Marijuana grows give off a far more pungent odor than other grow types. Many marijuana grow tents have built-in carbon filters to eliminate odors. Your living space will remain fresh and odor-free, while your grow remains secret and undetectable.
-
Low maintenance: A marijuana kit requires less maintenance than a grow room, for example. Your equipment is in a single, compact space and is mostly automated. This makes it simpler to monitor things and correct problems. As an added bonus, less monitoring means your weed plants are disturbed less and this enhances growth.
-
High yields: Because a marijuana grow kit can provide ideal growing conditions, you should enjoy higher yields and top-quality harvests.
-
Insulated: A marijuana grow kit creates an insulated environment for your marijuana plants to flourish in. First, the tent keeps pests and bugs out. Second, it keeps light in and out when appropriate. When your grow lights are on, the reflective interior enhances the light and the marijuana grow tent prevents light from escaping. When your grow lights are off, the tent prevents outside light from seeping in, allowing your cannabis plants much-needed rest.
Things you should consider before picking a best grow tent kit for weed growing.
Before getting grow kit, it’s essential to consider some factors. Here are those factors.
-
Tent Size and quality: At first you’ve to consider the tent’s quality and then you’ve to consider the tent’s quality. For considering the size of a tent, at first look at your plants, determine how many plants you’re going to grow. Consider the tent’s size accurately because lots of factors are depending on it.
-
Quality: The tent should be made of strong steel and the frame should be too. Obviously consider the insider’s reflective cloth and outsider’s cloth carefully. Always try to buy the most durable grow kit system.
-
Soil or Soilless: It means, decides first, how do you want to grow? Do you want to grow in soil or do you want to grow hydroponically? It regulates what equipment you may need for growing and which package is perfect for you.
-
Soil: It means you want to grow with soil.
-
Soilless: It means you want to grow hydroponically.

-
Grow Light: The most important thing comes to the point now. A grow light is the heart of the combo package. There’re several grow light options are available like LED, fluorescent, T5, and HPS/MH,CMH. Always try to get a full-spectrum grow light.
-
Other Equipment: This factor comes when you already selected all these options. Because the type of equipment you need highly depends on that three factor. After finalizing those three factors, consider the other equipment.
1. Grow Tent
Grow tents provide the ideal growing environment for your plants.A good grow tent will protect your plants from pests, control the smell, reduce light loss, and generally make it much easier to control your grow.
Maintaining a proper growing environment is crucial for a successful, high-yielding grow. Grow tents provide a convenient way to isolate your growing area so you can maintain proper temperature, humidity, light and odor containment while keeping out dust and insects.Eco Farm grow tents are the highest-quality, sturdiest tents we've used- and over many years of indoor growing, we've tried them all! Featuring easy assembly, easy access, rubberized bottoms to prevent water damage to floors, sturdy frames to hold lights, filters and fans, the Eco Farm grow tents are the best way to create a self-contained environment for your indoor garden. A gorilla could hang from these grow tents! Model numbers identify the approximate volume of the tent in cubic feet.📷
2. Grow Light
Lighting is your plants food source, so choosing the right light is important
LED’s (light emitting diode) are cutting edge technology when it comes to plant lighting. LEDs spectrum can be engineered to give plants the exact wavelengths they need. LEDs are a more cost effective solution over their lifetime when you consider the lower monthly energy bills, less cooling, and no required lamp replacement every year.
-
+ Less wattage can perform equivalent to a HPS or MH
-
+ Many growers claim to have healthier, higher quality plants
-
+ Lasts 50,000 hours which is usually about 5-7 years of growing
-
- LEDs don’t penetrate as far down as HPS or MH
-
- LEDs will be more expensive than HPS, MH, or CMH
HID (high intensity discharge) lights include both HPS (high pressure sodium) and MH (metal halide) lights. These lights are great for putting a large amount of light over your grow with an inexpensive upfront cost.
-
+ Best option growing on a budget
-
+ Lower upfront costs
-
+ Higher yield weight per upfront dollar spent
-
- Light spectrum is not as “dialed in” as LEDs or CMH
-
- Higher Energy bill than LED or CMH
CMH (ceramic metal halide) grow lights are popular due to their efficiency over traditional HPS/MH in light output per watt and their fuller spectrum of light that increases the growth, overall health, and yield. CMH lamps have a higher color rendering index (CRI) that more closely mimics the spectrum of the sun.
-
+ Higher UV output means plants produce more essential oils
-
+ Lasts 18 months compared to 9 month HPS/MH lamps
-
+ The best light for plant growing competitions
-
- Light spectrum isn’t as precise as LED however penetration is better
-
- CMH fixtures do not come with air cooling flanges on them, so you cannot directly cool the fixture
3.ventilation system
Carbon filters keep your grow discrete by controlling odors – purifying the air inside your tent.To set up your carbon filter, you’ll need an inline fan ( to suck the air out of the tent ) some ducting ( to suck the air through ) and a decent grow tent with ventilation ports.
Inline Fans & Ducting
Inline fans provide ventilation for your grow room.There will be at least two ventilation holes in your grow tent.One hole for a fan to pull fresh air in (typically the bottom port), and the other to expel stale air out (the top port).Ducting is attached to the inline fan for the air to pass through and into a filter ( see below )
FAN SPEED CONTROLLER
-
Suitable to control speed for high velocity inline fan and mini blower
-
3 settings: Variable Speed, OFF, and Full Speed
-
Variable speed control: Low, Medium or High speed
4.Other Accessories
Fabric Pots
If you’re using soil as your grow medium ( and I recommend that beginners do ) you’ll need a container.Small containers are fine for young seedlings, but you’ll need larger containers (2 – 5 gal ) to accommodate your plant as it grows.Fabric pots like these provide excellent results as their porous walls allow your soil to breathe and also prevent overwatering.Alternatives – Standard garden pots will also do the job if you have them lying around. Just make sure they are large enough!
Timer
Timers are a very important bit of grow room equipment, as they automatically simulate day/night cycles for your plants.Your light source plugs into the timer and the timer is then plugged into the wall.The timer then automatically turns the grow light on and off at the right times so that you don’t have to do it manually.Look for timers that can handle high wattages (at the very least higher than your lights’ total wattage) and can be programmed to control cycles for hours or even days.
Thermo-Hygrometer
The large Digital Hygro-Thermometer displays current relative humidity levels and temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius and records high and low points for both variables. This unit is wall-mountable or freestanding and includes a remote sensor probe for second-zone temperature readings.Portable hygrometer indicates humidity and temperature data on the big sleek screen. Easy to read even at a distance.
PH Meter
A PH meter measures the PH levels of your water and soil.Maintaining a good PH level is vital when growing cannabis.If your PH levels are too high or too low, your plant will not be getting the correct nutrients required to flourish.Ideal soil pH is between 6.0 and 7.0, while hydroponics ideal PH is between 5.5 and 6.5.PH meters are easy to use, you just stick them in your soil or the water you’re about to pour on your plants and they will give you a reading.
Pruners
A good pair of sharp pruners will make trimming and harvesting your plants easier and quicker.They are an essential bit of weed growing equipment。With these micro tip snips, you can easily get between plants to "clip and snip" only the area or part that you want to cut with one-hand and without damaging the other vital stems and branches of your other plants.
TRELLIS NETTING
Experienced growers use garden trellis to help support heavy branches and buds, while training the shape in which they want their plants to grow.
Rotating / Oscilating Fan
Rotating fans provide constant air circulation inside your tent, preventing mold growth, and helping to strengthen your cannabis plant’s stems and branches.Choose an oscillating fan like the one above that can be mounted on the frame of your grow tent. This keeps it out of the way.ays so they are still legible even from outside the tent.
Duct Tape
Duct tape is essential for any grow room ( or house for that matter )。You can use it for fixing injured stems, sealing grow tents, labelling plants and making your ventilation air tight.
Gloves
Gloves will protect your plants from contamination and protect your hands from sticky residue when harvesting.Make sure the gloves you buy are latex free, food safe and powder-less, to prevent contaminating your freshly grown buds.
