There are many variables you need to take into consideration when it comes to growing cannabis indoors. You need to have proper control over the temperature and light conditions and proper LED grow lights. Furthermore, as your weed grows in maturity, it releases a strong odor. All of these reasons combined mean that if you want to successfully grow weed, using a normal room just won’t cut it.

Attempting to keep all of these conditions in check would be a huge challenge. Using a grow tent is by far one of the easiest ways to grow your cannabis.

Grow tents pretty much help you to simplify the entire process. It also makes it easier to achieve the highest possible quality of cannabis. The environment that it creates around the plants is the biggest benefit. For example, when you put the lights on in a room, the artificial sunlight isn’t given the chance to reflect as well because there’s a bigger space.

In a tent, the realistic sunlight coming from your grow lights reflect off the grow tent walls which leads to more light being spread across all of your plants. Furthermore, when the lights are off, the tent is completely dark. This resting phase is also vital for successful weed growth.

Grow tents also work by ensuring that your plants remain warm, regardless of the outside temperature. This gives you more options when it comes to deciding the best place to set up your tent. You can have it in a basement or garage to prevent it taking up room in your home. There are even grow tents available that have ventilation systems built into them. So you won’t have to worry about any neighbors smelling what you’re growing!

If you’re a newcomer to growing weed, the investment on grow tents may seem a little hefty. However, you must realize that using a quality grow tent will lead to higher quality weed. So after a little while, let’s just say your initial investment will be well worth it. Particularly for people who are planning to grow weed for years in the future.

This can however prove to be a downside of grow tents. If you want to expand and grow more plants, you’re going to need to buy bigger tents as time goes on. But if you know that you’re going to be in the business for years to come, we recommend that you go ahead and get yourself a larger tent from the start. Even if it’s bigger than what you need know, your harvest may fill up that extra space sometime in the future.

In order to help you decide which grow tents would suit your needs best, we’ve created a list containing some of the top grow tents currently available to buy. This list starts off with some of the smaller tents for new growers, or those who have smaller areas. These first tents are great for growing in corner spaces or even closets!

Simple & Small Grow Tents

This small sized tents are ideal for people who want to start growing weed, but don’t have the space for it. However, they are simple packages. There are no other accessories other than a tent. Therefore, you’ll need to purchase lights and ventilation systems separately. But that also means you’re given a little more freedom to set up your tent exactly how you want to.

Most of these tents are suitable for growing 1-2 plants at a time. Unless you have smaller strains, in which case, you may be able to grow up to 4 plants in a tent.
