  • Product could be improved 

Made by introductory grow light manufacturer, such features may seem too good to be true. Over the years, however, Apollo has also emerged as a growing leader in creating a low-cost grow tent. 

Can the “cheapest” indoor grow setup rival those sold for a higher price? 

In this Apollo grow tent review, I will look into the vital components that make this grow tent a winner and how Apollo managed to create something good and sell it for an affordable price. 

Design and Durability 

Apollo Horticulture made sure that they only offer the best grow tent to their customers without the expensive price tag. The design and material used are picked for their high-quality and durability. 

Material

This cheap indoor grow tent is surprisingly long-lasting, as its canvas is made of a 400D thick light-proof fabric. It is double-stitched for safety and to keep it from tearing. Heavy-duty zippers are used for the flaps so they do not get stuck no matter how often you open the tent. 

Frame

To provide extra stability and durability to the tent, Apollo Horticulture uses metal poles for the frame. These provide strong support for the canvas. Though the company used plastic for the corners, these are strong enough to provide stability to the entire structure.

Strong support. The metal poles that Apollo Horticulture use have the capacity to carry as much as 120 lbs.

Reflection and Seal Quality

Plants that are grown indoors thrive more when cultivated in a space with reflective walls. Thus, the need to use reflective material to line the interior of a grow tent. A popular choice is mylar (1) or BoPET (biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate), a polyester film used for its many attributes, including reflectivity. 

This is exactly what is used with the cheap indoor grow tent from Apollo. It provides up to 97% light reflection.

Combined with a Mylar floor tray and heavy-duty zippers, you provide plants with the light and heat they need to grow fully and quickly. Mylar not only intensifies the output of grow lights but also maintains the right temperature within. 

Ventilation and Exhaust Ducts

The grow tent has an adequate number of openings for the ventilation, exhaust ducts, and cable wires. They are conveniently placed to provide you with flexibility when it comes to installing the grow tent and setting up your plants, ventilation fans, and grow light inside. 

Each port has a string that you can tighten to help seal any openings after you install the fans or put in cable wires. The ventilation window also has a mesh and cover so you can close it to prevent light from escaping.

Safety Features

The removable mylar floor tray prevents spilled water from soaking up electrical wires, preventing dangerous situations. It also keeps water off your actual flooring. 

The tent material is also good at absorbing heat, so you do not have to worry about the grow lights producing too much heat inside the tent. 

Extra Features

A unique feature with this grow tent is that the tent fabric is not only good at preventing light from escaping, but also keep the odor from getting out. You do not have to worry about your house smell funky all over, even when the plant you are growing has a strong odor.

The grow tent also has a tool pouch inside to make it easier for you to organize and store the equipment you need to care for plants. The grow tent is also designed to allow you to do hydroponics gardening indoors.

Grow Tent Sizes and Assembly 

Sizes

Apollo Horticulture provides different grow tent sizes, giving you plenty of options to choose from. This is great since a large tent may not be suitable for a beginner. It is highly recommended that you start small to test your ability to grow plants indoors. You can then expand your indoor garden as you see fit.

What the Package Includes

When you buy a grow tent from Apollo Horticulture, you can expect to get everything you will need to completely install and set up your grow tent. This would include the metal poles and plastic corners you will use to assemble the frame and the 400D tent with the reflective tear-proof mylar lining to cover the frame.

The package will also come with 1 removable mylar floor tray, 2 filter straps, the durable zippers, and the instructions pamphlet to guide you in assembling the tent.

Ease of Use

One of the best things about this grow tent is that putting it all together is simple and easy. The pamphlet instructions provide a clear step-by-step guide on how you can assemble the tent. You will only need minutes to do it. Special tools are not required either.

Customer Service and Warranty 

The company has a good customer service team that is always ready to address any inquiries or concerns. 

Apollo Horticulture backs this claim, as people extremely pleased with the company’s customer service. This is evident in the number of people who are extremely satisfied with the company’s customer service. 

Grow tents and most accessories come with a 90-day money-back guarantee. Lights, accessories, reflectors, and ventilation, each have their specific warranty. LED grow lights, for instance, as a 2-year limited warranty. 

Although the warranty is not as good as the other grow tents, it is still sufficient enough for you to test the product and see if you are pleased with it or not.

Value for Money 

You can expect to pay as low as $70 to as high as $210, depending on the size of the grow tent you are purchasing. 

It is the best option for a cheap indoor grow tent with amazing features. This brings the price to a decent level and worth spending money on. 

Downsides

Apollo Horticulture provided a good quality product at a good price. However, it does not mean that there are no downsides.

  • The main complaint about this grow tent is that its heavy-duty zipper does not operate as smoothly as the company said. In some Apollo grow tent reviews, several customers complained that the zipper gets stuck occasionally.
  • Another downside with the Apollo Horticulture Grow Tent is that it is still a bit expensive compared to other grow tents that offer similar or better features.

Who Should Buy This Grow Tent?

Apollo Horticulture designed their grow tent for people who are looking for an affordable but good quality tent to start their indoor gardening. 

It is made of good quality and durable materials and comes in different sizes, providing you with different options. This is beneficial for everyone, but especially beginners who are starting out and will likely want to begin with a small tent. Seasoned growers, on the other hand, can go for the larger tents to expand their garden.

You also do not have to worry about spending a lot since you can buy a grow tent for as low as $70.

Final Verdict

My final score for the Apollo Horticulture Grow Tent is 4 out of 5.

It is a decent grow tent that provides all of the necessary features that you will need to start your indoor gardening. The company uses good quality materials for this product without charging its customers a lot.

It does fall short when it comes to certain things, which is why it does not get a perfect score. Nevertheless, you cannot go wrong with this grow tent from Apollo Horticulture. Though they do not offer the cheapest indoor grow setup, the tent they offer is not that expensive. Their good customer service team and decent warranty make it even worth it to give this product a try.
