I know that one of the major dilemmas when it comes to grow tents is whether it makes more sense to buy one or to build one. After going through both building a tent and buying several different sized tents, it is my opinion that you are much better off just buying a grow tent that you can assemble. There are several benefits to buying a grow tent including set up time, take down time, re-usability, general functionality, and reflectivity.

Many people decide to build a grow tent rather than buy one purely based on the cost savings. However, when you take everything into consideration, you really get what you pay for. You will still have to dump a decent amount of money into building a good solid grow tent on your materials which would include wood for the frame, mylar for the actual tenting, and zippers for easy access. You may encounter the need for additional materials as well. Then you have to take the time to assemble the grow tent. For me, I look at time as an asset just as valuable if not more valuable than money so here, buying a grow tent that can be easily set up in a matter of minutes has huge advantages to building one. Also, if you move you can easily collapse and reuse the same grow tent in a new location rather than having to demolish the tent you built out of wood/pvc by hand. I recently had to move unexpectedly and it was not fun trying to take everything down. Initially I thought I might be able to reuse some of the materials, but it didn’t end up being the case.

As far as general functionality and reflectivity, nothing compares to a manufactured grow tent. If you build a grow tent out of simple wood and mylar, you will most likely only have one entry point unless you buy a bunch of zippers (which then brings the cost of building it up even more). Only having one entry point can be a real pain if you are trying to water or do something on the other end of the tent. Typically if you buy a grow tent, it will have several entry points, if not an entry point on 3 of 4 sides. The zippers are usually well made and this makes the whole process of using the tent that much more easy. A purchased grow tent also comes with poles that are made to withstand hanging heavy lights, filters, fans and whatever else you might need to keep in the tent. If you build your own, it might be difficult to hang anything from the tent itself because this equipment can end up being pretty damn heavy. Most purchased grow tents also come with an extremely reflective “metallic” interior. This is far superior to the common flat white that most mylar is coated with.

So, taking all of these different aspects into consideration, I would never again build my own grow space. I will always buy a grow tent. It is well worth the money, and you will be able to reuse it over and over again.

These days, with the legalization of medical marijuana, many more people have started using grow tents to grow plants indoors. This has also resulted in the proliferation of many more manufacturers of these grow tents. You can find a handful of different brands of grow tents available to purchase. These tents tend to vary quite a bit in quality, size, and price so it can make choosing the right tent for you a little bit more difficult.

As far as making a decision based on price, you should be a little careful when making your purchasing decision. Just like most other things in this world, if you buy the cheapest, most likely you get what you pay for. It will be the lowest quality product and it will be that more likely for it to malfunction in one way or another. However, with that being said, some of the cheaper grow tents do actually work great for the right situation. Typically with a lower end grow tent you will get a much thinner tent lining compared to more expensive brands. The tent material itself will still most likely be black on the outside and a reflective inner lining to help you get the most out of your lights. But, it will be much flimsier than the more expensive tents. This is fine if you don’t plan on moving your tent around much, or if you plan on taking good care of it. You will also typically get cheaper components on a cheaper tent. This means the zippers will be lower quality and will have a higher chance of breaking or getting caught. You may also find that the outlets for air and electric plugs might not be as nice as the more expensive grow tents.

Once you have a good price range decided, you will then have to decide on the size of the tent that works best for your growing situation. It is good to have a tent that is big enough to fit everything you plan on growing, with enough space for air flow and for the light to reach the majority of the leaves of each plant. But you also don’t want to have too big of a grow space that it becomes inefficient, and takes up much more space than necessary in your grow area. Also, having too much space can lower the efficiency of the lights because the reflective walls won’t be as close to the plants.

With so many different grow tent manufacturers out there these days, it is difficult to discern which tent is best for your grow situation. It is important to evaluate price and quality, as well as the specific size that will work best for your operation. Keeping these things in mind and doing some specific research on particular grow tents can definitely help you make a good decision.
