grow tent set-up
“AS GROW tents are held up
by an interior metal frame
and have canvas walls,
ceilings, and floors, their
infrastructure presents further
challenges for situating
equipment efficiently.”
Regardless of spatial and material constraints within grow tents, clever
indoor gardeners can figure out ways to situate their equipment in a
fashion which is both expedient and functional. This process is made
easier by the convenient holes and ports which are built into tent walls
for electrical access as well as airflow and exhaust. These things being
noted, for hobbyist gardeners out there, here are a few tips for situating
equipment in a grow tent.
Exhaust and Carbon Filters
Perhaps the most essential equipment element, as well as the most difficult
to situate in a grow tent, is that of an exhaust and carbon filter. For hobbyist
gardeners using a 4x4-foot or 4x8-foot tent for flowering, it’s a practical
idea to run a carbon filter, air-cooled hoods, and inline fan in one exhaust
system. Combining all of these elements will help counteract the spatial
constraints present in grow tent cultivation.
For grow tents of the aforementioned
sizes, there are relatively small,
