Hey all,


I'm trying to find a grow tent that isn't 6 feet tall or taller. All I can find is super tall tents that I just don't need all that height. I'm posting this here because I'm not using them for marijuana, but just indoor plants (bonsai). The length and width seem fine on most of the tents, but they're all just too tall. So, can anyone help me out?

have you considered just building a 2x2 wood frame and using the styrofoam with the silver backing used in construction and then just using a curtain maybe
silver backing could go inside for reflective purposes

I have, but just like the ease that comes with a grow tent. Being able to easily set it up, unzip it when need be, and not having to worry about a DIY one that may leak light.

Even though this one is 76" tall, I think I may be able to work with it:

also if you have a seamstress around you may be able to get one altered or made even if you could find the supplies
then you could use pvc pipe and fittings for the frame just dont glue them and you can take it down or pre drill holes in the pvc and fittings where they meet and run a screw in it

dont skimp on a tent. i bought a 3x3 off ebay for 100 bucks and the ducting holes arent big enough to use to vent properly i would get a quality tent for sure if you wanna use it a while. im gonna get a secret jardin or gorilla after im finished with this grow.

I don't know where u live dude, but if ur UK based, i'd strongly recommend the Hydrolab tents - they do one called "60" which is 60x60x120 and costs about £85.

I've got one of their 120S tents (which is a 6footer! sorry lol) and i can't fault the quality on it - very practical & thoughtful design, professionally manufactured and with good quality materials. And that seems true across the whole range.

If i had the cash, i'd get their 60 to be my mini veg tent!
