Grow Pack Base 80 - 250 Watt

The Grow Pack Base 80 is a complete starter kit built around a Secret Jardin Hydro Shoot 80 tent measuring 80 x 80 x 160 cm under 250 W of HPS lighting. It combines a Superplant Duo ballast that runs both HPS and MH bulbs, a Sylvania Grolux 250 W lamp, a mirror reflector, a Ø 150 mm inline duct fan rated at 300 m³/h, a Hortistar Clip Fan, a timer, a thermo-hygrometer and nine 3.4 litre pots. The 0.64 m² footprint is roughly 78% larger than a 60 x 60 cm tent. No carbon filter or acoustic ducting is included.

Grow Pack Base 80 – 250 W grow kit for an 80 x 80 cm footprint

The Grow Pack Base 80 is a complete starter kit built around the Secret Jardin Hydro Shoot 80 tent at 80 x 80 x 160 cm, running 250 W of HPS lighting. Tent, ballast, lamp, reflector, extraction, circulation, timer, monitoring and pots ship together. It targets growers moving up from a 60 x 60 cm footprint.

What is in the box

Grow tent	Secret Jardin Hydro Shoot 80, 80 x 80 x 160 cm
Growing area	0.64 m²
Ballast	Superplant Duo 250 W, HPS and MH compatible
Lamp	Sylvania Grolux 250 W (HPS)
Reflector	mirror reflector
Extraction	inline duct fan Ø 150 mm, 300 m³/h
Air circulation	Hortistar Clip Fan oscillating 20 cm
Control and monitoring	timer and thermo-hygrometer
Pots	nine square 3.4 litre pots
Light density	approximately 391 W/m²

Lighting: 250 W across 0.64 m²

The Superplant Duo ballast runs both HPS and MH bulbs at 250 W, so an MH lamp can be added later for the vegetative phase without a second ballast. The supplied bulb is a Sylvania Grolux 250 W, an HPS lamp weighted towards flowering, spread by a mirror reflector. Across 0.64 m² that works out at roughly 391 W/m², a lower density than the same bulb over the 0.36 m² of a 60 x 60 cm tent. The extra area is bought with intensity. Light-hungry cultivars pushed for maximum flowering output are better served by a heavier set; herbs, leafy crops and wider plant spacing suit this ratio well.

Climate control: extraction and circulation

The included Ø 150 mm inline duct fan moves 300 m³/h, clearing lamp heat from the tent. The Hortistar Clip Fan clips to a frame bar and keeps air moving at canopy level, which strengthens stems and breaks up the warm layer that otherwise sits beneath the reflector. The timer handles the photoperiod and the thermo-hygrometer reports temperature and humidity. Nine square 3.4 litre pots fill the floor area without the wasted gaps round pots leave. Expect the fan to give up part of its rated airflow once a filter and ducting sit in front of it; the shorter and straighter the run, the smaller that loss. At 160 cm tall, the tent leaves usable headroom for medium-height plants once lamp, reflector and their suspension are accounted for.

What the kit deliberately leaves out

No carbon filter — odour control is specified separately, and the Ø 150 mm fan accepts one without modification
No acoustic ducting — worth budgeting from the outset if the tent stands in a living space
Lighter frame than the Dark Street range, which is the trade for the lower entry price

One size down, the Grow Pack Base 60 uses the same components in a 60 x 60 cm tent. For filtration and acoustic ducting as standard, the Grow Pack Deluxe Dark Room 90 is the next tier up.

Packed discreetly in a single box and shipped from Belgium throughout the Benelux. Individual components and upgrades sit in the same catalogue category at plantandflower.be.

Is 250 W enough for an 80 x 80 cm tent?

Across 0.64 m², 250 W amounts to roughly 391 W/m². That is workable rather than intensive: fine for herbs, leafy crops and wider spacing. Growers chasing maximum flowering yield from demanding cultivars will find 400 W over the same area a considerably better match.

Can a carbon filter be added later?

Yes. The Ø 150 mm fan rated at 300 m³/h is the connection point. Choose a carbon filter whose capacity covers at least that airflow, then join the two with ducting of the same diameter and a pair of clamps. Expect some loss of throughput once the filter is fitted.

How does it differ from the Grow Pack Base 60?

The components are the same; the tent is not. The Base 60 works over 0.36 m² and the Base 80 over 0.64 m², roughly 78% more floor area at identical wattage. The decision is between higher light density on a smaller area and more plants under a gentler one.

Will the ballast run a metal halide bulb?

That is what the Superplant Duo is for: it drives both HPS and MH bulbs at 250 W. In practice an MH bulb runs through the vegetative phase before switching back to the supplied Sylvania Grolux 250 W for flowering. The MH bulb is bought separately and is not part of this kit.
