The best grow tents of 2025
No circus tents here: We’re focused on real grow tent sizes that fit real homes. For 2025, we cut through the Amazon clones and picked one trustworthy tent for each key size, leaning on newer, well-supported lines from Gorilla, Spider Farmer, AC Infinity, and VIVOSUN.
We’re looking at clean frames, heavy canvas, smart porting, and sane pricing. So, whether you’ve got an empty 3×3 closet or a spare room that can fit a 5×5 monster maker, start here for the best grow tents of 2025 to build out with confidence.
A quick look at the best grow tents of 2025
Best small tent: Gorilla “All New” 2×2.5
Best 4×2: AC Infinity CLOUDLAB 642
Best 3×3: Spider Farmer Pro White
Best 4×4: Gorilla “All New” 4×4
Best 5×5: VIVOSUN PRO P558
How to shop for a grow tent
Grow tents aren’t fashion, they’re function. They’re the backbone of a calm, controllable home grow. For 2025, we kept it tight: one pick per size, zero knock-offs, and only brands with real support, leaning toward recent refreshes. If it’s gimmicky or sketchy, it didn’t make our cut.
How we chose our selections:
- Frame > fluff. Look for poles about 1 inch (22–25 mm) and metal corners, for fewer “oops” when you hang your big light, filter, and two+ clip fans.
- Canvas matters. 1600–2000D (denier aka canvas heft) is the sturdy zone. We want a nice tough tent that’ll last, and fabric that keeps your climate solid and the light inside.
- Zippers + light leaks. I’ve worked with a bunch of tents, and the LAST thing you want is a shitty zipper. Every time you open/close that thing, you’ll curse yourself, trust me. It’s bad for plants and even worse for your mood.
- Height & doors. More headroom buys you clearance to hang your lights and filter and additional training space. Good door geometry (or multiple doors) ensures you can reach all your gals (and that one vexing back corner).
The best grow tents of 2025: Reviews and recommended products
| • Beefy build for its size |
| • ~300lb hanging capacity (pullups, anyone?) |
| • Heavy-duty spill tray |
| Dimensions | Denier (fabric heft) | How many plants? | Price/cubic ft. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2′ × 2.5′ × 6′6″ | 1680D | 1 photoperiod or 2 autos | $3.33 |
I typically would never grow in anything under 3×3, but the All New 2×2.5 is a “tiny” tent I could actually live with. The 2×2.5 footprint fixes the reach-the-back-corner problem, while Gorilla’s thick canvas, stout poles, and tidy zippers keep light in and wiggles and jiggles out. If you’ve got a closet grow, one photoperiod plant (or two autos), and zero patience for flimsy frames, this is the small tent that punches above its class. Gorilla is a US company, with broad retailer support, so easy to service (if you ever even need it).
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| • US company with long-running support and parts available | • Costs a tad more than budget tents |
| • Thoughtful details: double-cinch ports, EZ-view window, integrated tool pouch | • Fewer height options than Gorilla’s Pro line |
| • 2×2.5 footprint gives you extra elbow room |
| • 1″ steel poles + 2000D canvas = sturdy AF |
| • Controller mounting plate for clean, light-proof cable routing |
| • UIS-ready: plugs into AC Infinity’s ecosystem |
| Dimensions | Denier (fabric heft) | How many plants? | Price/cubic ft. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 48″ × 24″ × 72″ | 2000D | 2–3 photoperiods or 3–4 autos | $3.31 |
For those with a slightly wider area to grow, but limited depth, a 4×2 could be your sweet spot. The CLOUDLAB 642 pairs thick 2000D fabric with 1-inch steel poles and reinforced corners, able to easily hang all your heavy hangables. The controller plate keeps cabling in check and pairs seamlessly with AC Infinity’s UIS gear, so your fans, lights, and sensors can all talk to one brain. It also looks pretty damn sweet, and the additional elastic trellis net available for $11 is one million percent worth it.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| • 1″ poles + reinforced corners = rock solid | • Ecosystem tax: built to shine with AC’s UIS. Add-ons like extra mounting bars and accessories are sold separately |
| • Large window for quick canopy checks | • Single long-side entry isn’t as flexible as full wrap-around doors when it comes to tighter spaces. |
| • Accesorizable (Trellis netting, extra mounting bars, duct vents available to add on) |
4, 8, 12, or 25 seeds | Alien Kush x Tahoe OG Kush
A true 50/50 hybrid, Alien OG is the sort of strain that’ll have you questioning your place in the universe. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay, Alien OG seeds get their potent DNA from Alien Kush and Tahoe OG Kush. You can expect Alien OG buds to flower in 8-10 weeks and reach up to 28% THC in ideal conditions.
28% THC | Hybrid
| • Diamond mylar interior for increased reflectivity and light uniformity |
| • Stout steel frame and tidy stitching |
| • Cool roll-up window to check on your ladies |
| Dimensions | Denier (fabric heft) | How many plants? | Price/cubic ft. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35.4″ × 35.4″ × 70.9″ | 2000D | 2–3 photoperiods or 3–4 autos | $3.11 |
A 3×3 tent is my personal fave size for a decent amount of indoor green, without a back-breaking amount of work, and this Spider Farmer Pro White is a fresh pick. Released in 2025, the Pro White is just that, white! It looks badass, and the 2000D fabric will definitely hold up to daily zips (the zippers also look cool). The square footprint makes canopy training a cool breeze, and the interior is easy to clean. Similar to the AC Infinity ecosystem, this tent is designed to connect with Spider Farmer’s growing GGS smart stack, if you want app-connected airflow, power control, and more. Of course, you can also plug and play with what you’ve got.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| • Modern white exterior stands out over all other black grow tents | • Ecosystem tax: Built with SF add-ons in mind (controllers, fans, power), sold separately |
| • 2000D canvas feels durable and is light-tight | • Height is ~71″, a touch shorter than some 72″ (6’) tents |
| • Square footprint gives you elbow room to work |
| • US company with long-running support and parts availability |
| • Front and rear doors |
| • Taller-than-most (6′11″) |
| Dimensions | Denier (fabric heft) | How many plants? | Price/cubic ft. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 48″ × 48″ × 83″ | 1680D | 4 photoperiods or 6–8 autos | $1.72 |
The bigger the tent, the more likely you’ll get that flimsy feel if your canvas is thinner or the frame is light. Well, that’s certainly not the case here. The All New line keeps Gorilla’s tidy stitching, zippers, and multi-port layout, then pairs it with 1680D fabric and 22 mm poles. If you’re going for a healthy, large harvest, this is a seriously grown-up pick (and I’m so proud of you!). At 6′11″, it’s taller than many rivals, giving you PLENTY of breathing room up top.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| • 1680D canvas, 22 mm poles feel rock-solid for heavy lights + filter | • Pricier than budget 4×4s |
| • 6′11″ height offers real headroom vs. 5-6′ tents | |
| • Awesome spill tray to keep daily tending sane |
| • A big sturdy square for more weed than you’ll likely need |
| • Large front observation window for quick checks without leaking your climate |
| • Extras included: Spill tray, filter straps, and extra hanging bars |
| Dimensions | Denier (fabric heft) | How many plants? | Price/cubic ft. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60″ × 60″ × 80″ | 2000D | 6–10 plants (brand guidance) | $1.12 |
If you have the space and the time to grow a ton (not literally), you can’t go wrong with this Vivosun Pro. This is a roomy, value-forward 5×5 monster. And you don’t have to fill it to the gills; some folks just like extra space to play around with. The PRO P558 pairs 2000D fabric with 1-inch poles, similar to our other picks, and has a big front window for peeping. This also ships with useful extras: extra hanging bars and a high-CFM kit, so trellis and airflow won’t feel like afterthoughts. At 80″ tall, it’s a hair shorter than some premium 5×5 tents, but still puhlenty tall. Solid materials, sane price, easy to source.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| • 2000D canvas + 1″ poles | • 80″ height is a bit shorter than some rivals (e.g., 83″), which can tighten filter/driver clearance |
| • Large front window and smooth door | • Fit-and-finish isn’t Gorilla-level, but still good |
| • Comes with extra hanging bars and a high-CFM kit for bracing and trellis support |
Final thoughts on the best grow tents
That’s our five! And know that each brand here sells a full family of sizes, so if you like the look or feel or specs of the Gorilla, AC Infinity, Spider Farmer, or VIVOSUN tents, you can find your favorite footprint from 2×2 to 5×5 (and beyond!) for any of those brands.
The big key is matching the tent to your space and grow style, and ignoring the sketchy $49 thin canvas knockoffs. So pick your size, pick your plants, happy growing, and happier harvests.
