 Some tent gardeners claim to grow vegetables (or cannabis) entirely within a tent, but that didn't interest me.
 I chose a small 2'x2'x4' tent from Vivisun, which has space for standard germinating trays, heat mat, exhaust fan and "one plant."
 ==== "Intelligent", connected tent ====
-{{ :garden:infrastructure:growtent:02_img_6699.jpeg?direct&200|Smart Grow Tent}}The tent included an LED grow light, an intelligent nerve center for managing temperature and humidity. The sensor monitor, called a "controller." connected to my home wi-fi network and allowed viewing and controlling of attached devices loally and over the web.

-Lots of features appealed to me in addition to the ability to manage light and temperature for germinating seeds. Highlights are the LED grow lamp, which can be adjust in the app for color temperature and intensity. Needless all this appealed to the geeky side of my nature.

-Because temperature in the garage often approached freezing I added a temperature and humidyty-controoled heater, which also connects with the nerve center.
-=== Remote control ===
-Turn on/off, manage intensity and color of the grow lamp, speed of circulation and exhaust fans ...
-And remote readout and monitoring of conditions in the tent.

-==== Growing and hardening off seedlings ====
-==== Potential use for fruiting ====
+==== Germinating seeds  ====
-Maybe pepper or tomato

+{{ :garden:infrastructure:growtent:03_img_6698.jpeg?direct&200|Hardening off spinach seedlings}}Control of humidity and temperature improved my ability to harden off seedlings before setting them out in the garden.
-==== Controlled growing space ====
+Because temperature in the garage often approached freezing I added a temperature and humidity-controoled heater, which also connects with the nerve center.
-Temperature - eventually added a heater - managed the relationship between humidity and temperature for a consistent environment.
+All the control over the conditions in the tent lulled me into complacency about watering - I had to monitor moisture levels carefully and adjust regularly.
