Grow Tent Kit Buying Guide
Grow tent kits, sorted by how much you want to handle yourself
Every kit on this page is built on an AC Infinity tent, inline fan, and carbon filter, so the real choice is what else comes in the box. Complete kits add the light, soil, nutrients, and pots. AI kits add a light and a controller that adjusts itself, and Tent and Vent kits leave the light up to you.
What comes in each kit type
Every column ships with the tent and air handling. The rows below the fan line are where the kit types split.

Fill the reservoir
Gravity moves water through the feed line to each tray. Nothing plugs in.
The AQUAvalve fills and shuts
It lets water into the tray, closes, and stays closed until the plant drinks the tray dry.
Roots get a dry gap
Air reaches the root zone between fills. Included Airbases replace the gravel layer in each pot.

Choosing a light for it? Match the light's coverage to the tent size in our LED buying guide.
Size guide
Plant counts are AC Infinity's ratings for each tent. Measure your floor and your ceiling before you order: the 4x4 tents stand 80" tall.
Questions we get about grow tent kits
A tent blocks outside light during the dark period, which flowering plants on a light schedule need to stay on track. It also keeps pets, kids, and pests out and holds the temperature and humidity your fan is managing. The Mylar walls bounce light back onto the plants instead of letting painted drywall absorb it.
The 69 PRO runs the rules you set: temperature, humidity, and VPD triggers, plus timers, cycles, and schedules, with remote access in the AC Infinity app. The AI+ predicts where the tent is heading from its own history and adjusts early. Pick the 69 PRO if you like tuning numbers and the AI+ if you'd rather check in than set up.
Only kits with the AutoPot option water on their own. How long the reservoir lasts depends on plant size and stage, so a big plant late in flower drinks far faster than a seedling. If you already own a kit, AutoPot systems add on without replacing anything.
Those sizes aren't on our shelf yet, and your order ships when the next shipment from AC Infinity reaches our warehouse. If you're working toward a start date, call 716-217-0353 for the current arrival estimate before you order.
Yes. The 4x4 Complete Kit offers the EVO8 730W at checkout, which saves swapping later. On AC Infinity setups the light runs through the same UIS controller as the fans, so a bigger IONFRAME plugs into the controller you already own.
Kits ship from our Buffalo, NY warehouse by UPS Ground or USPS Ground Advantage and most arrive in 3 to 5 business days, in plain boxes. Orders over $500 need a signature at delivery. Complete and AutoPot kits contain soil, which adds a $15 surcharge on West Coast orders.
