❓ Grow Tents UK – Frequently Asked Questions
What size grow tent should a beginner start with?
A 60×60 cm or 80×80 cm grow tent with a minimum height of 140–160 cm is ideal for beginners. This height gives enough space for the LED light, safe hanging distance, ventilation equipment, and plant growth without overheating or crowding.
Do I need an extraction fan in a grow tent?
Yes — most tents require an extraction fan to remove heat, manage humidity and provide fresh air. Even small tents benefit from proper airflow.
What is the best light for a grow tent?
Modern LED grow lights are the best choice. They run cool, use less electricity and provide full-spectrum light for strong plant growth.
Can you grow vegetables in a grow tent?
Yes — herbs, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, microgreens, strawberries and small veg varieties all grow very well in tents.
Do grow tents get too hot?
They can if lighting and ventilation are not balanced. LED lights reduce heat, and proper extraction keeps temperatures in the safe range.
Do I need a carbon filter for odour control?
Not for all plants, but if smell is a concern, a carbon filter is the most effective way to remove unwanted odours.
Are grow tents expensive to run?
Smaller tents are inexpensive thanks to efficient LED lighting. Larger tents with multiple lights and fans cost more but remain manageable.
Should I use reflective sheeting inside a tent?
Most good grow tents already include reflective Mylar lining. Extra sheeting is usually unnecessary unless repairing an older tent.
