Description
2.4m of Headroom on a Compact 1.8m x 1.1m Footprint
The BudBox Pro GT-1 Tent (180cm x 110cm x 240cm) is built for height. Where most tents with a floor this size stop at 2m or 2.2m, the GT-1 gives you 2.4m, so tall crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers and climbing beans keep clear of the light, and there is still room to hang a light, carbon filter and fan above the canopy without giving up growing height. The rectangular 1.98m² floor suits a long LED bar fixture or two smaller lights side by side. Inside is BudBox's silver dimpled mylar lining, and the frame is tempered steel finished in black powder-coat, with ball-bearing locking metal corners holding the poles rigid under a full load of kit.
Key Benefits
- 240cm of height for tall crops, with room above the canopy for lights, filters and fans
- 180 x 110cm rectangular floor (1.98m²) that lines up with long bar fixtures and fits narrow spaces
- Silver dimpled mylar lining bounces light back into the canopy
- Tempered steel frame in black powder-coat with ball-bearing locking metal corners
- Double-drawstring ventilation socks with Velcro covers seal tightly around ducting
- Waterproof insert tray and 4 filter straps included
How to Use
- Assemble the frame, locking each pole into the metal corners, then fit the canvas and the waterproof insert tray.
- Hang the light from the roof bars; the extra 40cm over a standard 2m tent gives you room to raise it as plants grow.
- Hang the carbon filter from the filter straps and duct the fan out through an upper sock, letting fresh air in low through the passive vents.
- Check on plants through the tinted viewing window without unzipping the doors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 2.4m tall tent good for?
Height. Tall crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, climbing beans and tall flowering plants keep a safe distance from the light, and you can hang a carbon filter and fan above the light without them eating into growing space.
What size light suits a 180 x 110cm floor?
The floor is just under 2m². A long LED bar fixture rated for around 2m² of coverage fits it well, as do two smaller lights hung side by side along the 1.8m length.
What extraction fan do I need?
The tent holds about 4.75m³ of air. Changing it once a minute takes around 285m³/h before you allow for the resistance of a carbon filter and ducting, so a 5in (125mm) or 6in (150mm) fan and filter kit is the usual choice.
Is the floor waterproof?
Yes. The GT-1 comes with a waterproof insert tray that sits in the base and holds spills and runoff off the floor beneath.
