Prices are snapshots. Check exact variants and units; differently named fields may describe the same specification.
No. 01 — High-efficiency flowering in 2x2 tents
A standard 100-watt class board suitable for two-by-two foot vegetative or flowering areas. The full-spectrum white output allows comfortable daily canopy inspection and delivers an even PAR spread across small footprints. Always verify the PPFD map against your tent height to prevent light bleaching on upper foliage.
No. 02 — Complete cycle cultivation in 2x4 tents
A linear board sized specifically to cover rectangular two-by-four foot grow spaces. Full-spectrum white light ensures clear visual monitoring while delivering balanced intensity across the entire length of the canopy. Because it draws roughly 200 watts, verify that your tent has sufficient vertical height and extraction to handle the thermal load.
No. 03 — Single-plant full-cycle indoor cultivation
A dedicated single-plant enclosure that provides 63 inches of vertical clearance, resolving common hanging height bottlenecks in compact footprints. The extra height gives adequate space to hang an LED board and carbon filter above the canopy. Inspect the zippers and seams under direct light during assembly to confirm lightproof integrity.
No. 04 — High-volume perpetual grows in basements or garages
A large-format 4x8 enclosure providing 32 square feet of floor space for high-yield setups. Operating a tent this size requires paired lighting and a robust ventilation plan to avoid localized heat buildup along the 8-foot run.
No. 05 — Medium-sized grows with limited floor space
A balanced 3x3 footprint that offers 9 square feet of growing area alongside a useful 72-inch ceiling. It serves as a sensible compromise for growers who lack the space for a 4x4 but need significantly more vertical headroom than a 2x4 provides.
No. 06 — Countertop hydroponic systems and seedling propagation
This compact enclosure is designed for countertop hydroponic setups or early propagation where vertical room is limited. With only 36 inches of total height, managing light distance from the canopy requires strict attention once plants stretch. Verify your equipment footprint and exhaust fan clearances before installation.
No. 07 — Full-cycle growing in dedicated spare rooms
With 16 square feet of floor space and an 80-inch ceiling, this is the standard benchmark footprint for intermediate indoor horticulture. The vertical clearance allows ample room for carbon filters and light suspension, though managing temperature across this volume requires a dedicated inline extraction fan.
No. 08 — Closet setups and rectangular light fixtures
A 2x4 tent tailored for placement against walls or inside standard domestic closets. The 60-inch vertical limit is the primary compromise, requiring growers to train plant canopies flat to maintain proper distance from LED fixtures.
No. 09 — Seedling propagation and compact mother plants
This micro-format 2x2 tent fits into tight utility spaces or corners for propagation and seedling care. With only 48 inches of total height, standard full-sized fixtures and carbon filters will quickly overwhelm the interior vertical space.
