Small Grow Boxes (35 cm – 90 cm)

Small grow boxes – compact plant grow tents

Small grow boxes are grow tents designed for spaces where floor area is limited. They work well in an apartment, a small utility room, a workshop, or any other place where there isn’t enough space for a large grow tent.

In this category, you’ll find compact grow boxes ranging in width from about 35 to 90 cm, including popular sizes such as 40×40, 50×50, 60×60, 70×70, 80×80, and 90×90 cm.

Which small grow box should you choose?

When choosing a small grow box, it’s important to consider not only the width and length of the unit but also its height. There must be enough space inside for pots, plants, lighting, and ventilation components.

The smallest models take up very little space but also have limited height. If room conditions allow, consider a taller version with the same base size.

40×40 cm Grow Box

The 40×40 grow box is one of the smallest popular indoor grow tents. Its base area is just 0.16 m², allowing it to be set up even in very confined spaces.

With this size, it’s especially important to choose compact lighting and make the best use of the available height.

60×60 cm Grow Box

The 60×60 grow box provides 0.36 m² of space. It’s still small, but it offers significantly more room for plants and equipment than the smallest 35×35 or 40×40 cm grow boxes.

This is a popular size for people who want to set up a compact indoor setup without taking up a large portion of the room.

80×80 cm Grow Box

The 80×80 grow box offers 0.64 m² of growing space. It allows for larger lighting setups and provides more flexibility in arranging pots and other equipment.

The 80×80 cm size is often chosen as a compromise between compact external dimensions and the amount of space available inside the tent.

90×90 cm Grow Box

The 90×90 grow box is at the upper end of our small grow box category. Its 0.81 m² area provides plenty of space while maintaining the compact dimensions of the entire structure.

With the 80×80 and 90×90 cm grow boxes, it’s especially important to pay attention to selecting the right lamp and ensuring adequate ventilation.

Small Grow Box and LED Lights

Modern LED grow lights are very well suited for small grow boxes. They allow you to tailor the lighting to the specific area of the grow box, and compact models can also be used in small setups.

When choosing a light, pay attention to its actual power consumption, the unit’s dimensions, and the area that a given model can illuminate evenly. The light should fit the grow box not only in terms of power but also in terms of physical dimensions.

Ventilation in a Small Grow Box

Even a small grow tent requires air exchange. The fan’s capacity should be selected based on the grow box’s volume, the lighting used, and the room temperature.

Before purchasing equipment, it’s also worth checking the diameter and placement of the ventilation sleeves in a specific grow tent model.

Why choose a small grow tent?

• It takes up little space,
• allows you to create a separate space for your plants,
• makes it easier to use artificial lighting,
• enables the installation of ventilation and additional equipment,
• it can be easily folded and moved,
• and it is available in many sizes and heights.

A small or larger grow box?

If available space is your main limitation, a small grow box will be the natural choice. Before purchasing, however, it’s a good idea to carefully measure the space where the tent will be placed.

If you have more space and need a larger growing area, check out the medium and large grow boxes as well. You’ll find all available sizes in the main “Grow Boxes” category.
