A hydroponic grow tent is a magic equipment that can easily turn any kind of indoor place into an indoor garden. Before you are determined to invest your money on hydroponic growing system, you need to make clear how many grow tents you need for your lovely plants. Here are suggestions for your reference.
One Big Tent
Consider to use one tent with hydroponic growing system. Canopy control is easier when all plants are the same age. Moreover, the harvest can be potentially condensed to a single event. Certain growing techniques are better suited for single-tent gardening. Nutrient film technique or other hydroponic methods fit the plants are not easily moved. These plants generally spend their entire life cycles in the same tent and the lighting of the tent is adjusted to initiate flowering. How you plan on gardening influences which tent set-up is best. There are many paths to the same destination. However, there’s no single “best” way to garden that applies to all circumstances.
Using Two Tents
Consider using one small and one medium hydroponic tent as an alternative to a single large tent. More tents add versatility when growing short-day plants. One tent can be set to summer lighting and the other to fall lighting conditions to ensure continual harvests. If plants are introduced to the fall tent over a period of weeks, then the harvest will be spread out over a period of weeks. Having multiple hydroponic grow tents also makes recovery easier if one of the tents has a catastrophic failure.
Your indoor garden will take up more space than just the grow tent itself. You’ll need somewhere to store extra supplies and equipment. The ballast for your lighting system, a reservoir, AC unit, nutrient storage and excess grow media are just a few items you may need to allot extra space for. An organized indoor garden takes up less space than an unorganized one. A defined, dedicated area near the tent for items can keep garden-related clutter from spreading throughout the rest of the room.
