Small grow tents are anything under 100cm wide - 40 x 40cm up to 90cm. They suit three jobs:
rooting cuttings, keeping a mother plant, and running one or two plants in a room where a full-size tent will not
fit. We stock 35 of them.

Things worth knowing
Heat is the constraint, not space. A small tent has very little air volume, so a light that would be
comfortable in a 120 x 120 will cook a 60 x 60. Stay at the lower end of the wattage and add a clip fan.
4in extraction is enough. A 4in fan and filter handles any tent in this range - see
carbon filters and extraction fans.
Frame strength is a non-issue here. 16mm poles carry a small LED and a 4in filter without
trouble. Pole gauge only starts to matter on much bigger tents.
Check the height. Several tents in this range are only 90-120cm tall, which is fine for cuttings
but tight for anything you intend to flower.
Small tents vs propagation tents
They overlap. A propagation tent is short and shallow, built to sit on a bench and hold trays. A small grow tent is
usually taller and intended to take a plant through a full cycle. If you are rooting cuttings, go propagation.
If you want one plant start to finish, go small grow tent.
