Question 1

1. How many plants can an 8x8 grow tent fit?

Accepted Answer

An 8x8 grow tent can fit a large number of plants but that largely depends on the technique of growth that you are using. If you’re not using SOG, SCROG or any other similar training process then you might be able to fit in about 6 rows of 6 plants each, giving you about 36 plants - some growers who have been trimming and training their plants enough have also managed to fit in a larger number of plants but then that becomes too messy and you won’t really be able to give a lot of attention to each plant. However, anywhere between 36 to 64 plants is possible to fit inside a grow tent - but remember to give them sufficient space and don’t crowd it up too much.

Question 2

2. Can beginners not use 8x8 grow tents at all?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, beginners are best suited with smaller setups and should prefer using 2x2 or 4x4 grow tents to fit in their plants. This is because using an 8x8 grow tent means you have a large number of plants - between 36 to 64! Beginners usually start out with about 5 to 10 plants at the most and hence smaller grow tents are best suited for their needs.

Question 3

3. How much weight should 8x8 grow tents ideally be able to carry?

Accepted Answer

Considering that an average 4x4 grow tent can carry about 110lbs of weight, mathematically speaking a minimum of 220lbs needs to be supported by 8x8 grow tents - and most of them do that too. You will need to hang grow lights, carbon filters and a lot of other equipment over here and hence it is important to ensure that your tent is able to support the weight that you are putting on it and does not end up collapsing under the weight.

Question 4

4. Do all grow tents have a warranty?

Accepted Answer

A majority of the grow tents have a warranty - and usually the bigger/more expensive the tent, the higher the warranty. Almost all names on our list of grow tents come with a warranty - and the average warranty is about a year (and even two in some cases).

Question 5

5. What are light leaks and why are they bad?

Accepted Answer

Light leaks happen when light starts to come out of the grow tent. They are bad because the whole point of using a grow tent is to make sure that all the light stays inside and is used for the growth and the development of the marijuana plant. However, if there are pinhole leaks taking place, this means that some of the light which should ideally be going to the plant is going out and is getting wasted. Hence it is critical to ensure there are not light leaks in your tent. If you spot any, try and fix them or let the company know.

Question 6

6. Are grow tents illegal?

Accepted Answer

No, grow tents are not illegal. A large number of indoor horticulturalists like to grow their plants, flowers and vegetables indoors because of the better control they get while they do it. Hence, grow tents are very useful to them. However, if you are growing marijuana inside your grow tent - it is then that you might be doing something illegal because growing and consuming marijuana is not legal across all states in the US and most countries in the world have criminalized weed. Though the outlook towards cannabis laws is relaxing all over the world, it is best to check once if you are legally allowed to grow weed - and if so, how much.
