By looking at this spider farmer grow tent review, you can know the features to consider when choosing the right tent:

PICK YOUR SIZE AND SHAPE

Once you have decided how much money you are willing to spend on your grow tent, it is time to choose the right size and shape for your situation.

The first step is to decide what size grow tent you need. First, how big will you be growing in the tent? For example, if you are only growing a few plants in a closet or under your desk, it might not make sense to spend a lot of money on a custom-sized grow tent. You can get a standard-sized tent from your local garden supply store and use it until things start growing out of control.

In contrast, if your space is only going to be used for a couple of months or longer, then it is probably worth getting something custom-sized to keep the plants tidy over the long term. If you are growing in a garage, greenhouse, closet, or other room that will be occupied for a long time, it is probably worth spending more money on a custom-sized tent instead of making do with something suboptimal.

If it is a large grow room in an outbuilding or above your garage where the plants will have lots of room to sprawl out, you will need something bigger than the standard 8′ x 4′ grows tent. Even if you have the space and budget for one of these big bad boys, look around at all the other tents and see what else is out there. You can get a lot of value from the less expensive options, which are just as effective.

THE FRAME OF THE GROW TENT.

 

SAFETY

Indoor gardening is reasonably clean with little use for chemicals or disinfectants; however, some may need to be used occasionally. When this happens, the potential for opening up your tent to harmful toxins exists in fumes or exposure through contact with bare skin or pet paws inside your tent material. To stop this from happening when spraying an insecticide or disinfectant inside your tent, you should set up a safety curtain and add ventilation. An excellent solution is a specially designed ventilated duct system inside your tent; however, if this option is not possible, you should always wear protective gloves and clothing when handling chemicals.

EASE OF USE

A grow tent must be easily maintained at all times. If you constantly have to remove the doors, clean your mesh, and wash down your ventilation ducts. It should also be easy to open the doors of your tent and ensure that insects cannot enter. Both options will depend on the ventilation and ventilation ducting you install.

VENTILATION

To keep the air inside your tent circulating and ensure your spiders can breathe, you will need a combination of intake and exhaust vents in multiple places along the top of the tent. You should install intake vents in each corner of your grow tent, where air enters through the windows or hatches. Then you should install several exhaust vents every couple of inches along your grow tent where outgoing air can travel through. Further, for these ventilation options, you should install a unique vent with a stand that can open before the mat is removed and then close at the season’s end. That will enable you to easily monitor the temperature and humidity inside your tent.

THE GOOD

The Grow Tent from Spider Farmer is a quick, easy way to set up an indoor garden in a small or large space. The Grow Tent has areas for both lights and plants. It is an ideal choice for new indoor gardeners who don’t have a lot of room to put their growing system.

THE BAD

The Grow Tent from Spider Farmer does not come assembled, nor is there a place to store extra equipment. If you want to keep your grow lights and other accessories with your tent, you’ll have to find a way to store them outside the Grow Tent.

A good rule of thumb when choosing a grow tent is that the number of exhaust ports should always be higher than the number of intake ports. For example, a 2x4x8 grow tent has four intake vents and five exhaust ports to ensure adequate air circulation and no stagnant pockets of air. The intake vents should also be at least an inch wide for easy access and proper ventilation. The exhaust ports should be adjustable to control temperature and humidity.
