Choosing a VIVOSUN Tent Kit
The right
VIVOSUN tent kit comes down to two decisions: how many plants and which controller tier. Plant count maps cleanly to tent size: 1 plant = 2x2, 3 plants = 3x3, 4 plants = 4x4, 6 plants = 5x5, 8+ plants = 4x8 or 8x8. Controller tier separates Standard (basic timers), Smart (GrowHub Wi-Fi), and Smart Pro (full closed-loop sensor probes).
Kit Size and Tier
Standard vs Smart vs Smart Pro
Standard kits run R-series lights and basic fans on a wall timer. They're the cheapest entry point but the buyer manages on/off cycles manually. Smart kits step up to G-series light and AeroZesh G-series fan with the GrowHub E25 controller, which adds Wi-Fi scheduling and remote app monitoring. Smart Pro kits run T-series light and fan with the GrowHub E42A and a temperature/humidity sensor probe inside the tent, which means the fan ramps in response to actual climate conditions, not a fixed timer. For a first-time builder, the Smart tier is the sweet spot; Smart Pro is the upgrade pick when closed-loop VPD control matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Smart vs Standard VIVOSUN kit, what's the difference?
Standard kits use a basic wall timer for the light and fan. Smart kits replace the timer with a GrowHub Wi-Fi controller, which gives app scheduling, remote on/off, and grouped device control from one app. For most first-time builders, the Smart tier is worth the upgrade; the GrowHub also pre-configures common schedules so you don't manage timer settings from scratch.
Does the Smart Pro kit include a GrowHub controller?
Yes, Smart Pro kits ship with the GrowHub E42A plus an in-tent temperature and humidity sensor probe. The E42A adjusts AeroZesh T-series fan speed in response to live climate readings instead of running on a fixed timer. Standard and Smart kits don't include the sensor probe; the fan runs on a duty-cycle schedule.
Are VIVOSUN kits one-box delivery?
Yes for kits 4x4 and smaller; multi-box for 4x8, 5x5, and 8x8 builds. Larger tents ship in 2-3 boxes for handling reasons. All boxes arrive together via standard ground shipping. Plan an open floor space for unboxing since the tent + frame + light + fan + filter add up to a significant volume.
Can I add a second light to a 4x4 kit?
Yes, the 4x4 kit's tent crossbars handle the load of a second light, and the GrowHub Smart kit controller has open ports for additional devices. For most growers, a single AW400 covers the 4x4 footprint at full PAR; the second light is only necessary if you're chasing maximum yields or running staggered plants at very different heights.
What's included in the Pro tier upgrade?
The Pro tier upgrades the AeroZesh fan to a T-series (vs G-series on Smart kits) with Smart Controller integration, adds the GrowHub E42A (vs E25 on Smart), and includes an in-tent sensor probe for closed-loop temperature and humidity control. The light also steps up to a T-series with finer dimming control through the GrowHub app.
Will the kit's fan handle my carbon filter pressure drop?
Yes, all VIVOSUN kits ship a fan and carbon filter pre-matched in size. The G-series AeroZesh fans are sized with overhead to compensate for the filter's pressure drop. If you swap to a third-party carbon filter, verify the filter's pressure drop spec stays within the AeroZesh's rated working range. Stock-kit pairings are pre-tested.
