However, with grow tents you must follow some certain rules to ensure that growth of plants reaches its maximum yield. For example, location, when growing plants, you will need to be able to have easy access, that is why we advise people to choose somewhere in their home or shed where you’re able to get to and isn’t an obstacle for people walking by. Not only this but it is vital that the grow tents are near a plug socket to make sure you’re able to plug the lights into, as electricity is key, if you want to grow hydroponically.

Many people think they’re able to put a grow tent together themselves without reading instructions, however, there are many mistakes what can be made if you do this, we advise everyone interested in buying grow tent kits to make sure you read the instructions before assembling.
