Grow tent

Grow tents are a great choice for indoor gardening where the light schedule needs to be tightly controlled. They are designed to be water and light-proof, have intake and exhaust ports for ventilation along with a mounting point for the carbon filter and lights. Tents with a 120x60 cm - 48" x 24" base are an excellent choice for 2 large plants and 120x120 cm - 48" x 48" base for 4 plants . Get a taller 200 cm, 80" tent to have room under the Hempy bucket for the drain bucket, or the high-pressure pump when using the Aeroponics system.

Things to look out for when selecting a grow tent:

The tarp material should not be thin. 600D Polyester exterior recommended, with a highly reflective internal layer.
Sturdy metal frame with mounting points for a filter and inline fan and the lights
Ventilation ports should have a second cover layer for light proofing.
At least one air intake point at the bottom with dust filtering
Durable, light-proof zippers

This is a gallery of the first tent grow attempt with lettuce and Finola hemp seeds. Finola is a fast-growing auto-flowering variety of hemp with very low <0.2% THC and up to 15% CBD content within the flowers. The only notable thing about this seed is that as of 19 November 2020, according to the European Union’s Court of Justice in Luxembourg, CBD is not considered to be a narcotic in the European Union*.

*Growers need to keep the purchase invoice and permit that comes with the seeds and present them at the request of authorities!
