I'm doing a research before I invest in a grow tent. Could someone please tell what else do I need other than the tent? number of fans, lights etc.

this size tent. Light. 600watt switchable ballast MH/HPS bulbs. light hood with glass bottom and fan ports. I use 3 fans. 1 intake. 1 exhaust. 1 swivel fan inside on tent floor for circulation. light bulbs. 600 watt metal halide and 600watt HPS. as far as techniques and other help. I learned what I didn't already know on YouTube.

This tent comes with 6" vent ducts. Needs 6" ducting and blower and filter. Get the 440 CFM blower and filter if running through light. I use solar storm 440 and a mars 2 1200 watt led. I have also used the appollo cob reflector. My plants love led lights.

By the sound of it you need a indoor horticulture book. Atleast a 600 watt hps light unless your doing leds .at least two fans one for the lighy another for the tent.

Youll need lights with the appropriate spectrum for vegetative and flowering, inline duct fans and dryer vents to match, the tent can fit up to 6inch vents. (safer to put the vent tubing in the tent holes than the fan to avoid accidental crushing of your plants) you'll need to decide if to use soil or hydroponics. A timer for the lights, thermometer/ humidity monitor, a lux meter. If going Hydro you'll need quite a bit more including grow media, PH test kit, hydro nutrients, air pumps with hoses and air stones. You'll have to decide which type of hydro system youe going to use; DWC, drip and recover or non recovery, ebb and flow, NFt, aeroponics to name a few Youll need lights with the appropriate spectrum for vegetative and flowering, inline duct fans and dryer vents to match, the tent can fit up to 6inch vents.

Im starting out myself I bought a 4 bulb lite and a 6 inch fan that will fit in one of the upper holes. it took me awhile to put it all together

For a tent of this size you would be ok with only an exit fan with or without the carbon filter. Two fans would work as well and provide better circulation but that is not necessarily needed. On my tent I have an exhaust vent in the top and I just tied the holes closed with the provided cords. There are three passive air inlets near the bottom of the tent that will let enough air in.

they all work if you have ventilation and distance from bulb. Once your plants get within 12 inches of the bulb you will start to see some problems. I don't have a tent, you might have heat problems make sure you have good humidity control and heat control. if you have the extra money LED are probably best route to go. once pests get into your garden they are hard to get out have a certified organic plan ready encase that happens, usually mites. humidity controls mold... keep it clean with lots of air flow you be doing good.

Everything you need including bulbs iirc. They burn out easily so get extras.

I am using one of these in a 4 x 4 x 7 tent. I bought the one with only the HPS light. Make sure you control the temp in the tent, as this light alone heats up to about 87*. I'm no expert, but I think this one light at 600 watts would cover a 6 x 6 tent, as long as the plants aren't smashed together and they can all get light. :)

I recommend that this is a 2 person job. I also recommend that when installing the fan you line up the tabs correctly or you will brake them off. Lastly the 4 way connector is not that durible ether so install the top Section first then the side. Nice and roomy tent

It comes with everything needed to set up immediately. Works great! We've been using it everyday since we received the grow light! No complaints at all.

I wouldn't think there's enough room for hydro, but with 2 duct fans, I was able to fit 6 plants in 5 gal. buckets under 1000w light, it did great. I would double this tent for hydro

I used a 4" inline exhaust 100 cfm with t5 light...that was enough to keep the tent at around 80degrees or less...if you are using hps...you might need a little more pull...intake fan isn't necessary...just a small clip fan to keep the air moving

No but I know they sell stuff like that on amazon for tents. I got a light to put in the center of my tent in the inside and I got 2 small fans that you can plug in or run out off batteries. I got this tent and then I watched YouTube to see what other people do to keep the inside of the tent cool during hot days.

This is 60w florescent, z 300 watt equivalent. Bright zs the sun. One bulb should be sufficient for starting seeds. You would probably want to use at least two bulbs for a 2 x 4' area as for seeds, you will need to get pretty close, say 12 - 18" above the bed. I used 4 to cover my 2' x 4' are with four large tomato plants. I got better growth from a high pressure sodium light. They are great for growing but not as good for blossoming. I have also had good luck with the 7-1/2 watt screw in leds. I have a bank of four that is my favorite for after the plants get large enough to produce. This is 60w florescent, z 300 watt equivalent.

I use this tent for commercial use actually. I run a food tent and the LED lights work the best. We set our first tent up at least 80 times through all kinds of weather before the frame finally gave. In my opinion, 80 set ups is a lot for a tent of this grade, for sure not the intention. We bought our second one a few weeks back. Would highly recommend this this tent.

Easy to do... once assembled, the tent is really quite light and movable . just don't move it any wind. Once you get it over the table, then stake it into the ground and rig the guy lines ( two per pole).There is a fixed loop on the center of the tent to rig a light . I hang a large 200W lamp from mine... lights the tent up like daytime When I use it... a nice table lamp on the picnic table is what I use mostly.Hope you get this awesome tent/ screen house ... It's a total delight....enjoy !

As I'm sure you're aware, 1200W will heat a room above the tolerance of about anything but cactus. A relatively tiny space such as tent will require MASSIVE air moving equipment and likely the tent you choose will not have any provision for such air movement. I would strongly recommend you research the lumen/sq ft requirement of whatever you're growing.I'm currently generating about 10,000 lumens. I have 5 fans (2 to ram air in, 3 to extract) and I'm still getting a 12 degree (F) rise over the temp outside the tent. Take care and have a fire extinguisher present.

It really does have a fan but it's not very powerful. You can barely feel the breeze but it does create a "soft sound" that helps drown out sound from neighbors. The light is part of the fan and is very convenient and lights the tent well.

with this small tent i found out that my 125 flo. light fixture fits nice but you are taking away grow space. so i would find a light fixture that is small or make your own. check out you-tube. that is where i got my idea to make the light for my small tent. hope this help you out. YOU-TUBE HOW TO MAKE A GROW LIGHT. WILL HELP A LOT.

Everything is in there that you need. We used a rubber mallet to put the tent "spikes" in...but this bent the aluminum pegs...maybe purchasing some serious tent pegs/stakes (whatever you wish to call them) might be a good idea...other than that...its awesome. Remember, the covered patio area does not have a floor, so if you want to sleep in this area, bring some turf or something to put beneath your sleeping bags/mattress. This tent was awesome, even made it through a sudden thunderstorm in the middle of July, NO LEAKS!! We love it!
