Dark Box Propagator – Invernadero de Propagación para Esquejes y Plantas Madre

Frequently asked questions

• Why have a tent just for propagation?

  Because propagation needs conditions opposite to the rest of the grow: high humidity, soft light and a stable temperature. Putting trays of cuttings in the same tent as flowering plants forces you to compromise both stages, whereas with its own space each one works at its optimum.

• Which Dark Box Propagator size should I choose?

  The 120 x 60 x 120 cm is the widest and lowest, ideal on a table or when you need tray surface rather than height. The 120 x 40 x 200 cm Tower gives you a lot of capacity on a small footprint with two or three levels, and the 60 x 40 x 200 cm Tower is the narrow option for tight gaps or a couple of mother plants.

• Does it fit right against a wall?

  Yes, that is exactly what it is designed for. Its shallow depth, 40 to 60 cm depending on the model, lets you put it against the wall without eating up half the room.

• Is it complicated to assemble?

  No tools are needed. It goes together with a frame of poles and connectors, just like any Dark Box tent, so you have it ready in no time.

• What else do I need to complete it?

  A closed propagator calls for soft lighting, such as an LED tube or a low-consumption bar, a thermo-hygrometer to keep an eye on humidity and a small extractor fan with a controller to change the air without drying out the environment. The matching structure for trays is the VP Dome Rack.

• Can I run a full grow cycle in it?

  No, it is designed specifically for the propagation stage, not for the full cycle. Its job is to keep cuttings and mother plants away from the main tent while holding a sealed environment with high humidity.
