Just getting back into growing after about 35 years to experiment with some medicinal varieties where I will only have 2 or 3 girls at a time. My question is, aside from portability, are there any advantages to using a tent versus having a permanent closet setup?
Tent is movable and easier to dail in the environment you need
If you're only growing a few at a time, tent all the way.
You'd still need to manufacture some type of barrier around your plant so light doesn't have the ability to escape if you went the whole room way. Unless you're lighting the whole room which would require mass lighting
There's benefits to each way (tent/open room)
Just noticed you said closet.. if you have good ventilation and decent room.. figure out the sq feet and choose your lights based off that.
Plenty people grow in closets.
Myself included (closet with tent)
