Indoor Growing Guide: How to Choose the Right Equipment Based on Your Available Space

Indoor cultivation has revolutionized how enthusiasts grow plants, offering year-round control over every environmental factor—from light and temperature to humidity and air circulation. But not all grow spaces are created equal. Whether you're working with a small closet, a spacious attic, or a multi-use room, success depends on tailoring your setup to your space.

In this guide, we’ll help you select the ideal grow tent, lighting, and filtration system for your indoor garden, using proven gear from Dobermann, Cultilite, and Airontek.

1. Very Small Spaces (Less than 1 m²)

Recommended Grow Tents:

• Dobermann 40×40×140 cm
• Dobermann 60×60×160 cm
• Dobermann 80×80×160 cm

These compact tents are perfect for beginners or anyone with limited space. They're easy to manage, energy-efficient, and offer excellent performance for small-scale cultivation.

Optimal Setup:

• 40×40 cm Tent
  

• Extractor: Vents 100 VKO1 – 107 m³/h
  
• Carbon Filter: Airontek Ø100 mm – 140 m³/h
  
• Lighting: Orion 100 W + Under Canopy 60 W
  

• 60×60 cm Tent

• Same as above: Vents 100 VKO1 + Ø100 mm filter
  
• Ventilation: 1 Airontek oscillating clip fan (Koala Fan)
  

• 80×80 cm Tent

• Extractor: Vents 125 VKO1 – 190 m³/h
  
• Filter: Airontek Ø125 mm – 200 m³/h
  
• Lighting: Orion 150 W + Under Canopy 60 W
  
• Ventilation: 1 Airontek oscillating clip fan (Koala Fan)

Why it works:

Smaller tents need low-powered equipment, which keeps heat, noise, and energy use in check. Cultilite’s Orion LED series provides powerful yet cool lighting, while the Under Canopy 60 W adds essential lower-level illumination to boost yields.

2. Medium Spaces (Around 1–1.5 m²)

Recommended Grow Tent:

• Dobermann 100×100×200 cm

This size strikes a balance between space and control. It’s suitable for multiple plants and allows for more advanced techniques like topping or scrogging.

Optimal Setup:

• Extractor: Vents 125 VKO1 – 190 m³/h
  
• Filter: Airontek Ø125 mm – 200 m³/h
  
• Lighting: Orion 260 W or Quasar 300 W + Under Canopy 60 W
  
• Ventilation: 1 Airontek oscillating clip fan (Koala Fan)

Why it works:

You can grow more without significantly increasing power consumption or complexity. The extra height (200 cm) improves airflow and allows for a more robust canopy structure.

3. Large Spaces (Over 1.5 m²)

Recommended Grow Tents:

• Dobermann 120×120×200 cm
• Dobermann 150×150×200 cm

For experienced growers, these tents open the door to maximum yields, larger plants, and a more customizable environment.

Optimal Setup:

• 120×120 Tent

• Extractor: Vents 150 VKO1 – 305 m³/h
• Filter: Airontek Ø150 mm – 300 m³/h
• Lighting: Quasar 630 W or 2× Orion 260 W + Under Canopy 120 W
• Ventilation: 1 Airontek oscillating clip fan (Koala Fan)

• 150×150 Tent

• Extractor: Vents 150 VKO1 – 305 m³/h or higher
• Filter: Airontek Ø150 mm or Ø200 mm – 400–500 m³/h
• Lighting: Same as above
• Ventilation: 2 Airontek oscillating clip fan (Koala Fan)

Why it works:

Increased tent volume requires higher airflow and lighting capacity. Cultilite’s Quasar 630 W LED ensures deep light penetration, and the powerful extractor-filter combo keeps temperatures stable and odors under control.

4. Rectangular Tents: Smart Options for Multi-Use Rooms

Recommended Grow Tents:

• Dobermann 90×50×160 cm
• Dobermann 240×120×200 cm

These tents are ideal for shared or visible spaces, like living rooms or studies, where aesthetics matter. Their shape allows for discreet placement against walls or inside furniture-like frames.

Optimal Setup:

• 90×50 cm Tent

• Extractor: Vents 100 VKO1 – 107 m³/h
• Filter: Airontek Ø100 mm – 150 m³/h
• Lighting: Orion 100 W + Under Canopy 60 W
• Ventilation: 1 Airontek oscillating clip fan (Koala Fan)

• 240×120 cm Tent

• Extractor: Vents 150 VKO1 – 305 m³/h or higher
• Filter: Airontek Ø150 mm or Ø200 mm – 400/500 m³/h
• Lighting: Quasar 630 W + Under Canopy 120 W
• Ventilation: 4 Airontek oscillating clip fan (Koala Fan)

Why it works:

These setups maintain full functionality while fitting more organically into living spaces. Low-noise extractors and efficient LEDs make the system suitable for environments where stealth is key.
