Grow Tent
The grow tent is the grow room and the most important part of this guide. If you are simply growing for yourself and not on a commercial scale, grow tents offer numerous advantages. The biggest advantage to a grow tent is that you don’t have to take on any construction or make structural changes to your living space. Also at any time, you can choose to move your grow room in a matter of 30-40 minutes rather than a trying to tear down and rebuild a full grow room construction. View the Best 4×4 Grow Tents.

Ventilation & Filtration
It is essential to keep air moving throughout your grow room. Filtration is a big factor when growing weed indoors.
