Mushroom Grow Tent 120x40x200 – Dark Box Propagator Tower

The Mushroom Grow Tent 120x40x200 by Dark Box is the definitive tool for growers who want to professionalize their propagation or mycology space without sacrificing an entire room. This vertical cabinet, designed as a tower, allows you to multiply your production surface by five thanks to its shelving system, ensuring that every centimeter of your crop is optimized for success.

Why do you need this propagator tent in your life?

Problem: You know the struggle: trays scattered all over the house, makeshift domes that don't hold humidity, and clones or mushrooms that abort because the temperature fluctuates wildly. Trying to manage a delicate crop like fungi or cuttings in an open room or a standard closet is a recipe for inconsistency and wasted effort.

Agitation: There is nothing more frustrating than checking your progress and seeing that your mycelium has dried out or your cuttings have wilted because you opened the lid too many times. Every time you fail to control the environment, you are throwing away time, money, and genetics. Without a dedicated space, you are playing the lottery with your harvest.

Solution: The Mushroom Grow Tent 120x40x200 puts an end to that chaos. It creates a sealed, controlled microclimate where humidity stays high and stable, which is exactly what you need. With its vertical design, you fit a massive amount of work into a small footprint, turning a chaotic corner into a high-yield laboratory.

Before starting your cultivation

Setting up this tent is the first step toward professional results. Since it is 2 meters high but only 40cm deep, it fits perfectly against a wall or in a corridor. Before introducing your trays, you need to assemble the structure and ensure the environment is sterile, especially for mushrooms. You will also need to install low-intensity lighting, such as CFLs or LED strips, which are ideal for cloning and early vegetative stages.

• Assemble the frame: Connect the metal tubes and corners; it's intuitive and requires no tools.
• Place the liner: Fit the canvas carefully over the structure.
• Install the shelves: Secure the 5 grids that will hold your trays.
• Check for leaks: Ensure all zippers are closed and extraction socks are tightened around your cables or ducts.
• Cleanliness is key: Wipe down the interior with alcohol before starting to prevent contamination.

During use: Total control and visibility

Once your operation is running, this tent makes life incredibly easy. The star feature is the transparent viewing window. This allows you to check on the colonization of your substrates or the rooting of your clones without unzipping the door. This is crucial because every time you open a tent, humidity drops instantly. By keeping it closed, you maintain that tropical environment your plants crave.

You should monitor the parameters closely. Using a humidity controller or a simple thermo-hygrometer inside is essential. The Mylar lining ensures that the little light you use is distributed evenly, reaching the back corners of every shelf so no plant is left in the dark.

After: Results and maintenance

When you finish a cycle, you will be amazed at the uniformity of the results. Whether you harvested pounds of mushrooms or rooted 200 clones, the consistency provided by this tent is unmatched. Maintenance is minimal: simply remove the trays, sweep out any debris from the bottom, and wipe the Mylar walls with a damp cloth to keep the reflection at 95%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove the shelves if I need more height?

Yes, the shelves are removable. You can customize the height between levels to accommodate taller mother plants or larger propagation domes if necessary.

What kind of lighting fits best in this tent?

Due to the limited height between shelves, low-heat lighting is best. LED bars or T5 fluorescent tubes are the perfect choice to avoid burning your plants or drying out the substrate.

Is an extractor fan necessary?

For mushrooms and clones, you don't need high-power extraction, but you do need air exchange. A small inline fan or passive intake is usually sufficient to keep the air fresh without losing too much humidity.

Does it come with the trays?

No, the tent includes the structure, the canvas, and the wire shelves. You need to buy the propagation trays or pots separately.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've used the Dark Box Propagator tower for years, specifically for keeping my genetics library safe. The vertical layout is a game-changer when you don't have a massive grow room. I usually set up the top two shelves for rooting fresh cuttings and the lower shelves for keeping small mother plants in bonsai pots.

My pro tip: Don't underestimate the transparent window. I used to open my old tents daily to check for roots, causing humidity spikes and drops that stressed the plants. With this tent, I just peek through the window with my morning coffee. If you are into mycology, this is non-negotiable—keeping that humidity locked in is the difference between a massive flush and a dried-out cake.
