What Are Grow Tents? Not everyone is completely clear about what grow tents actually are. A lot of people, especially new growers, often confuse them with grow boxes and grow rooms. Before I share more on the best grow tents , I’ll briefly explain the difference. Grow tents, grow rooms and grow boxes all serve a similar purpose. They provide a habitable environment for plants to survive indoors, away from their natural climates. All of them are used to contain and control light, water, temperature, and air. All of these growing options can replicate conditions that are as close to nature as possible. Where the three differ is in their size. A grow room can be any place—from a garage, to an attic to a greenhouse—that you modify for your plants’ needs. They can be impressive, but are often inconvenient. Fulfilling the upkeep requires you to have property, space and means; for many of us, this isn’t possible. Cheap indoor grow tents can solve this problem. Grow boxes are essen...

Indoor cannabis cultivation has made it possible to grow marijuana any time of year, no matter the weather. The move indoors has not only made cannabis cultivation more accessible and doable, but most importantly, for the ordinary decent stoner, it removes the criminal element from the purchasing process. If you grow your own dope, you don’t need a dealer anymore. Cannabis self-sufficiency is the primary objective, and can be accomplished if you put your mind to it. Of course, indoor cultivation using artificial lights makes the grower responsible for creating and maintaining the growing environment. The grower, rather than Mother Nature, must care for the cannabis and control conditions. If you want to toke on your own home-grown weed, you need to be prepared to look after female cannabis plants for around 3 months. Growing weed is a hands-on business and requires specialist equipment. Lighting kits, fans and carbon filters, pots, nutrients, growing media, and a grow tent all cost...

Using Fluorescent Grow Lights in your Indoor Garden Options for fluorescent grow lights were limited for many years. The standard 2 bulb, 4 foot long fluorescent shop light was just about your only choice. Because of the affordability of the fixtures and the huge improvements in the bulbs themselves, standard fluorescent lights are still an excellent choice. Is fluorescent light good for growing plants? Fluorescent grow lights are best known for their propagation abilities. These lights do wonders for clones, seedlings, and young plants, since they have low heat output and a less intense light. HID and LED grow lights need to be placed further away from plants, and a lot of light is wasted. Fluorescent tubes are smaller, and save the grower money on electricity costs. These lights can also emit a full spectrum for plants. For growers trying to grow the biggest plants possible, fluorescent lighting is a great way to get plants started. Once the plants begin to get larger, it is ...

Why Use Reflectors At All? Reflectors are, along with the light-bulb and the ballast, one of the three main components of indoor lighting systems. They have the purpose to support the bulb-holder and reflect the light emitted by the bulb downwards the plants (in the most uniform possible way). It isn’t difficult to imagine that both the manufacturing materials and especially the design of the reflector will largely determine its quality and features. The reflector is then responsible for directing the light emitted by the bulb toward the plants. The light reflection and distribution capacity of the reflector mainly depends on the shape and the material of which it’s made of. Most grow tents and growing spaces are square, so the shape of the reflector should distribute the light evenly in this space, avoiding illuminating one area of the crop more than another, which would create heat pockets. What Makes One Reflector Better Than Another? While there are many ​factors at play, ...

It is a constant struggle for growers like us to keep the humidity down to ensure a growing plant’s survival. We must protect fattening buds from botrytis and powdery mildew. On the other hand, cuttings and seedlings require double the humidity levels of their flowering counterparts. Plants at different stages of growth require different levels of humidity. During the first month or so, young plants would need extra 65% to 70% humidity for robust growth. This humidity is essential to help young plants absorb water through the leaves since their roots haven’t completely developed yet. At this point, too little humidity will spoil the growth of your young plant, which could result to lower yields in the long run. But using a humidifier in a  indoor grow room  can keep relative humidity in check. So, to help you control moisture, you must invest in the best humidifier for a grow room. In this article, I'm going to reveal the best models on the market you can consider. ...
