Posted on by Harold Newman

When you plan an indoor garden to grow herbs, fruits, vegetables or even flowers in your home in Canada, you will do well to buy the proper grow tent that will enable you to keep your indoor garden separate from the rest of your home.

Grow tents help to create a stable environment that can be controlled through the use of lamps, keep out pests, avoid mold, and at the same time give the plants you are growing the climate that they require to produce the harvests you are looking forward to.How do you find the grow tent that is the best for you for the geographical area of Canada that you are living in?  

Indoor Plants

Canada is a large country and has varying weather conditions, that can affect the growth of indoor plants, but, a grow tent allows you to control the weather to a large extent, and grow the sort of plants that you fancy.

Indoor Grow Tents

Every grow tent that you will find in Canadian stores or over the internet will have its own positives and negatives, and you will have to take them into account before you buy one for your home. Tents can be as small as a 2 feet cube, or as large as an 8 foot one.

A Agrow Tent Into A Closet

You can even fit a grow tent into a closet, and this will limit the size of the tent to the size of the closet. Measure the space you have available for the tent and remember you may need it to be near a window or any other outlet that exhausts and takes away the hot air from the tent.

Grow Lights And Ducting

Grow tents come with many features that you may or may not require. Some will have support bars for hanging ventilation fans, grow lights and ducting, though these will generally be the large sized ones. These bars or supports must be able to take the weight of anything that you plan to hang on them. Some come with duct holes that must match any ducting you are planning to use.

Every tent will have doors or some form of access that allows you to reach the plants that need attention and care. If you have hot air vents on your tent, you will also need to make sure that the tents also have air intake holes that will ensure proper circulation of air, without short-circuiting it.

Water And Light Requirements

These tents are generally box type structures that will often have sheeting that increases the level of light within the tent. Their designs enable them to absorb the heat from outside while radiating light inside. They should not be difficult to assemble. You can always increase the number of plants you grow in the tent by creating a multi-level structure over which the grow tent can be erected.

They also greatly help in reducing the water required normally for plants. You can also set up grow lights with timers so that you are also limiting the use of electricity. Buy a tent after making a proper plan of the plants you want to grow, their water and light requirements, and the space you have in your home for your indoor garden.

Selecting The Right Grow Lights When Growing In Canada

Posted on by Harold Newman

Countless companies have seen the increased demand for quality grow lights to help people to build their business. However, all of these companies are not of the same quality. To ensure that you purchase the lights that will best meet your needs while growing in Canada, there are a number of things that you will want to consider.

One of the essential features of a grow light, especially when used while operating a business, is how much energy they use. These lights, depending on their strength and the technology used when making them, can cost a great deal to operate. In order to keep your costs down, it is ideal to purchase the light that uses the least amount of energy to produce the highest amount of light. In many cases, you can actually pay for the lights themselves with the energy savings that you see with the right equipment.

You may also want to consider grow lights that have timers directly connected to them. This can save you a lot of money on staffing needs and ensure that your plants get the right amount of light each day. The times can be adjusted according to each particular plant’s needs so that you can have the best growing experience possible.

Another important factor to consider is the reputation of the brand that you may purchase. You can get a good idea of how other Canadian growers have felt about the quality of various brands by reading blogs and reviews that have been created to share their experience. You can save yourself a lot of time and prevent having a bad purchasing experience by better understanding which companies are leaders in the market and stand by their products.

Yet another factor is the amount of heat that this type of product produces. While most plants do thrive in a warm environment, you will want to find a product that does not produce too much heat. This could lead to you having to spend money trying to keep the building cooler with climate control. This is especially true if you are going to have a great deal of lights in your space. By taking the time to do your research regarding the amount of heat output that you can expect you can help to keep your overall costs as low as possible. Additionally, in most cases, the products that do not produce a great deal of heat when they are in operation are most likely to be the most energy efficient.

When making this type of purchase, you will want to follow the tips above to ensure that you are getting the best product for your money. Grow lights are not cheap and are a major investment in a grow operation. By doing your own investigations you will have the best possible experience with the product. Take the time to read the reviews and fully understand the differences between the products that you are considering. This will help you to find the best indoor grow lights in Canada.
