6 Main Reasons For Using Cannabis Growing Tents

Growing indoors offers you incomparable control of the growing environment: you can manage the temperature, amount of light, and even the color of light. That being said, grow tents offer you even more control. But why would you need a grow tent, and what advantages do they offer?

What is a Grow Tent?
The indoor grow tents are basically a portable box made out of lightweight materials. These can include a sturdy frame made out of metal or PVC poles. This frame is then covered by some sort of reflective fabric (usually Mylar or canvas) which helps keep the various elements out, while at the same time helping to keep the inside bright and ventilated.

Grow tents usually come with a number of openings that can be controlled, giving the grower the ability to install fans and filters. By doing so, and including plenty of places to hang lights, you can effectively control every aspect of the environment inside the tent, ensuring you the best chance to bring in a truly outstanding yield, and helping you maximize your space’s full potential.

Benefits of Using a Grow Tent

Efficient Use of Space 
Having a defined space for your plants helps you stay in control of your grow.

Climate Control
Climate is a major hurdle in plant cultivation. Different plants like different conditions, and a grow tent allows you to cultivate your plants whatever the climate by giving you control of the conditions inside. Now you can grow in any season, whatever the conditions outside. More importantly, you'll have better control over the conditions inside the tent.

Energy Efficient
They are super energy efficient and one hundred percent light proof. Every bit of light is contained and utilized therefore saving you money and giving the maximum supply of lights to your crop. As well as this, they are also extremely space and air efficient too.

Keep pests out
The closed design of grow tents keeps pests such as whiteflies, aphids and spider mites away. Pest control with a grow tent is nothing compared to the issues many gardeners run into when growing outdoors. As long as you keep your tent closed, pests will stay out.

Maximize Your Lighting
Indoor gardens that lack containment lose a lot of light compared to enclosed gardens. Grow tents contain a liner that reflects the light rays back into your garden that would have otherwise been lost. This light bounces throughout the grow tent reaching areas of your plants that might not have otherwise received them.

Reduces Odors
The tent’s enclosed design it creates an integrated system with an air purification device, grow tents are proven to lower odors as well. And we all know that marijuana plants release a strong odor so roommates and/or next-door neighbors could dislike the strong odors originating from your indoor marijuana garden.

Fortunately, grow tents dramatically reduce the odor by trapping the odor inside of the tent and then filters the air through their filtration system.
