TomatoTent Mini Grow Box
A complete Kit with everything needed, except seeds and soil (more on that below).
About 3 months from seed to Harvest
Depending on the strain, you can get your first harvest after 3 months.

My name is Volker, I am fascinated by this plant and have grown it since the late 90s. I'm originally from Germany but currently live in Australia.

↑ My first Grow Box
This is my very first indoor Grow Box. At the time I lived in an apartment in Germany (Neumünster).
-
My latest grow box is 'TomatoTent'. It gives me enough weed that I never have to buy it. Its also super discreet.
-
This is a harvest from TomatoTent. Its 86g dry.
-
155g
This is the biggest harvest ever achieved in TomatoTent. It was 155g dry, grown by someone in Norway.
-
↑ The automatic controller
I'm lazy and wanted TomatoTent to do the growing for me.
So I built an automatic control-unit that keeps the plants are happy.
-
Its a tiny computer that keeps the climate good for cannabis. So the plants grow well.
Doing your first grow
-
1. Set up TomatoTent
It comes in a large box. There is a video that shows how to assemble it. Its plug-and-play and takes 30-60 minutes.
-
2. Buy Cannabis Seeds
You could purchase seeds online. For example this strain will work well. I recommend an Autoflower strain.
-
3. Buy Soil
Buy the best quality potting mix (for flowers) that you can find. Any hardware store has soil. For example this soil. Also get some jiffy peat pellets to germinate your seeds.
-
4. Germinate your seeds
in a jiffy peat pellet. It takes 4-8 days for the babies to pop their heads out.
-
5. Put the baby plant into the big pot
Fill the large pot (comes with TomatoTent) with soil. Then dig a little hole and put the baby plant in there.
-
6. Start the Grow
Put the pot into TomatoTent. On the touch screen tap: Start a Grow. The light will turn on and your plant is on its way.
-
7. Let it Grow
Your plant will now grow. You'll give it water when the soil is dry. At some point you may need to give Fertilizer. I made a video course on these things and we have a private online community for TomatoTent owners.
-
8. Harvest
After about 3 months your plant will be ripe. You would now cut it down and dry it (TomatoTent has a drying mode). We have a video on that, don't worry if you don't know how that works just yet.
-
9. Finished
Now start over. Most likely, you'll harvest more on your second or third grow as you learn this hobby.
No Smell
It comes with a large, activated carbon air filter.
The filter is bigger than what is usually recommended for this size tent. But I wanted to be safe.
The Control unit also makes the fan run as slow as possible, so the air flows slowly. That means the filter has more time to remove the odour.
It actually removes all the smell, (almost) all the time.
It can happen that towards the end when plants are in full flower, a slight scent is noticeable.
However I have grown with this in a busy apartment building with Neighbours around me, and no-one ever got wise.
Drying Function
The built-in drying feature gently dries your harvest for best flavour, smell and potency.
Low(ish) Electricity cots
Over a typical grow, you'll pay about $44 USD (43 EUR) in Electricity. Thats about $15 per month.
Ideal for 1 plant
1 plant fills the space efficiently. You could grow 2 but the yield will remain the same
