Dark Box DB100

Grow tent of 100 × 100 × 220 cm with exactly one square metre of floor and 220 cm of height. Steel frame and reflective mylar lining.

One square metre is the size the rest of the market designs for

This size has a practical advantage that has little to do with the tent itself: almost everything you put in it is sold with one square metre as the reference.

Look at how growing products are described. LED lamps come with a coverage figure in square metres, and most mid-range models aim at precisely 1 m². Grow tables and flood trays come in 100 × 100. Rockwool slabs, saucers and trays are worked out per square metre. Feeding schedules give doses per square metre.

At this size, then, you never have to convert anything. A lamp described as "suitable for 1 m²" really does cover your whole floor here, not three quarters of it or half again. That saves arithmetic and money both, because a lamp too large for your tent lights your canvas and one too small leaves your corners empty.

Anyone buying a first tent without being sure what will go in it takes the least risk at this size: whatever you choose later fits without adaptation.

The height with it

At 220 cm this is one of the tallest sizes in the range. That gives room to hang your filter inside without it coming straight off your plant height, or to stand a water system with a reservoir underneath.

Frequently asked questions

Which lamp suits this size?
One whose stated coverage is 1 m². Look at the coverage in flower, since that is usually smaller than the figure quoted for vegetative growth.

Will a 100 × 100 grow table fit?
Yes, that is exactly the size tables and flood trays of this class are made to.

Is 220 cm not unnecessarily tall?
Only if your filter hangs outside and your lamp is slim. Otherwise that height disappears quickly.
