Secret Jardin grow tents


The growing supplies for a successful harvest all year long

Whether you're a professional, hobbyist, or just starting out, nothing beats a successful harvest. After all, that's the goal of cultivating and growing. In order to have a great and successfull harvest, you will need the right growing supplies. These include a grow room, several light sources, the right climate and high quality fertilizers; these are the ingredients for healthy, strong plants. In order to harvest throughout the year, you will need an indoor grow tent. This way, you are no longer dependent on the outside climate. You'll have full control over the growth of your plants, as well as the end result.

Create a grow room

Growing indoors is all about mimicking nature; the artificial replacement of sunlight, water and air. The easiest way to achieve this, is by using an enclosed environment. A grow tent is ideal for this. It's a simple, cheap solution and is easy to install, as it does not require you to put up any complicated mounting. A grow tent is specifically designed to grow plants under artificial light. The tent's inner walls are lined with reflective foil and it has plenty of mounting options for grow lights, some tents also have enough room to spare for various growing trays. Most grow tents are already equipped with light- and air-tight openings for air hoses and electric cables.

When picking a grow tent, you can choose between buying a complete grow tent or to build a custom tent by yourself. While the former is very simple and straightforward, the latter will offer you more freedom in how you wish to arrange the tent, making it easier to adapt the tent to various environments in which it may be placed. The latest series of grow tents from Secret Jardin provide plenty of options for customizing the tent, such as choosing where you wish to have an opening for ventilation; a specifically designed circular gutter will allow you to create an opening where it's best for your case, with ease.

Choose your ideal grow light

In a grow room, the lamp is one of the most important components, because it acts as the sunlight for your plants. In an average grow tent, a 400 or 600 Watt lamp will suffice. Grow lights come in various types: high pressure sodium (HPS), metal halide lamps (MH), LED lights and fluorescent lights, such as T5/T8 tubes.

For a long time, the HPS grow lamp was hailed as the best choice for growing, according to many professional growers. It was the most efficient lamp when it comes to output per Watt, while still remaining and affordable choice. Nowadays, LED is the best growing lamp.

During the growth phase a MH lamp which gives blue light is ideal. Additionally, the light spectrum produced by the HPS lamps includes red light, which is perfect for the blooming phase of plants. The main disadvantages of both types of lamps are that they require a separate ballast, as well as that they produce a lot of heat. In order to prevent the heat from scorching your plants, you should mount the lamp with enough spacing between it and your plants. A good guideline is: 10% of the wattage in centimeters.

A gas discharge lamp, such as an HPS lamp, cannot be connected directly to the mains. These types of lamps require a short, high-voltage spike in order to light up, after which the voltage must be tuned down to prevent the lamp from breaking. A ballast - also known as a transformer - prevents this. It has two functions, namely transforming and starting. The ballast converts 230V to a voltage that is suitable for the grow light. Afterwards it ignites the lamp by giving a pulse-start. This is why gas discharge lamps require a ballast.

Are you ready to invest more in your grow lighting, and do you opt for lower energy consumption? Then LED grow lights are the best choice for you. LED lamps last longer than HPS lamps and are a little safer to use. LED consumes less energy, produces less heat and thus reduces the chance of burning your plants. Another advantage is the simple connection, since a ballast is not required in this case. The modern LED lamps perform better than HPS grow lights, while only being slightly more expensive, especially if you take also into account the longer lifespan and lower energy consumption. This makes LED the best option for professional growers.

If you are just starting out or if you are on a limited budget, you might opt for fluorescent grow lights. This includes the energy-saving lamps, T-Neon grow lights and fluorescent tubes that are very suitable for young plants and cuttings. With the right light color, flowering is also possible. The light intensity of these lamps is not as strong as that of the LED and HPS grow lights and are therefore preferably mounted closer to the plants. This can be done without problems because fluorescent lamps hardly produce heat.

To make things a little easier for yourself, you could use a time switch to automatically provide your plants with sufficient light both during the growth phase and during the flowering phase. 14 hours of light per day is sufficient for most plants (400W/600W). Of course, this can vary per plant type and per phase. The advantages of a timer switch are that you not only save energy, but also mimic nature better, which is beneficial for the plant development.

Control the climate: temperature, ventilation and ventilation

To grow, your plants also need fresh air. A lack of fresh air or too high a temperature stops growth. If a grow lamp produces a lot of heat, the supply of cool air and release of warm air may be necessary. In a grow tent you usually find a air supply at the bottom and the extractor at the top. This creates a low pressure climate; the perfect environment for your plants.

You can monitor the temperature in the grow tent via a thermometer, with a fan you provide the required airflow and the ventilation speed can be connected to the ambient temperature with the help of a fan controller. If it gets warmer, the fan will automatically be set to run faster to provide more adequate cooling. With the help of these measuring instruments you can maintain a constant climate. The fan also helps to strengthen your plants. They form sturdier stems because they are constantly in motion. The best ventilation method is vertical ventilation. In the winter, direct the fan downwards to keep the heat and in the summer upwards to blow out the warm air. It is also useful to choose a fan that you can mount to the ceiling to save space.

Finally, it is advisable to apply a carbon filter, to prevent possible cultivation odors or an airfilter as a protection against fungi, bacteria and insects. A filter prevents the spread of these pathogens.

Give your plants a boost!

We have not talked about food and drinks yet. Your plants are now standing in a cultivation medium, in a tray or pot, are provided with a good light source, live in a suitable climate with constant temperature but there are two things missing. The elements soil, light and air are present, what is still missing is... water and plant nutrition.

You can perfectly water the plants by using a watering can or via an irrigation system, depending on the size of your grow tent. The nutrients from the cultivation medium can be supplemented with basic flowering and growth nutrition from brands such as Canna, Plagron or BioBizz. If you want to achieve an excellent harvest, give your plants a boost with a bloom stimulator. This booster provides an extra exuberant bloom. The result is a qualitative harvest with a fuller taste.
