What size grow tent do I need?
2'x2' tent for herbs and small plants (2-4 basil, 6-8 lettuce). 3'x3' for serious home growing (8-12 plants). 4'x4' for larger crops like tomatoes. Bigger is easier to manage temperature and humidity.
Do I need ventilation in a grow tent?
Yes, essential. Extract fan removes hot air and controls humidity, intake brings fresh CO2. Minimum: 4" (100mm) extract fan for 2'x2' tent, 6" for larger. Without ventilation, you get heat stress and mold.
How much does a grow tent setup cost?
Budget setup (2'x2' tent, LED light, ventilation): $300-450. Quality setup (3'x3', better components): $500-750. Premium setup (4'x4', automated): $1000-1500. Start small, expand when confident.
