Grow Tents — 60x60

Sixty by sixty is where most people start and the best-stocked size in the range. Just over a third of a square metre is enough for one substantial plant or a handful of smaller ones, and the equipment that goes with it is the cheapest of any size. What makes this size distinctive is that it is the only one where you choose between two kinds of enclosure.

Tent or cabinet, on the same footprint

Alongside the tents there are four G-Tools Bonanza cabinets of 0.35 square metres, including two tabletop models and a version with climate control. A cabinet has rigid walls: it insulates better, damps more noise and looks like a cupboard in a living room. You just cannot fold it away. At the other tent sizes you do not have that choice.

Watch the height, because it varies widely

The AC Infinity CLOUDLAB 422 is 120 centimetres, the Secret Jardin Dark Street 60 and Hydro Shoot 60 are 158, the Ferna Home Grow Box 160, and the CLOUDLAB 722 and Dark Box DB60 are 180. Below 160 it gets tight as soon as a lamp and a carbon filter both have to fit, and at this size that is the decision most often regretted afterwards.

Or everything in one purchase

The AC Infinity AI+ Grow Tent System Compact is meant for one plant and is the lowest threshold in the range. The Advance Grow Tent System at 60x60x180 goes further, supplying lamp, extraction and controller. Both also appear under Complete Kits. Secret Jardin adds a complete system running on 24 volts.

The cheapest size to complete

Over this area Ø 100 mm extraction and a lamp of around 100 watts are enough, and that is the cheapest starting point in the whole shop. Do plan on turning things down: at this volume most fans are generously sized, so buy something you can run gently.

Frequently asked questions

What height do I need?
At least 160 centimetres if a filter is going in. Add up what hangs above the plant: hanging system, filter, lamp and the distance the lamp needs.

Tent or cabinet?
A cabinet if it stands in a living space and noise or appearance matters. A tent if you want to fold it away or move it.

Is 60x60 enough for a first try?
Yes, and it is the cheapest way to start. If you want a filter in there without giving up height, look at 80x80.
