Sizing Your System
How many Spore sensors your grow tent needs, based on floor size.
How It Works
Every monitored tent runs on the same three pieces: Spore sensors placed inside the tent, one Hyphae controller per tent, and a single Mycelium hub that watches everything. The only number that changes with tent size is how many Spores you need.
Recommended Configuration
| Tent Size (floor) | Spore Sensors | Hyphae Controllers | Coverage per Spore |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2×2 to 3×3 ft | 1 | 1 | 4–9 ft² |
| 4×4 to 5×5 ft | 2 | 1 | 8–13 ft² |
| 6×6 to 7×7 ft | 3 | 1 | 12–16 ft² |
| 8×8 to 10×10 ft | 4 | 1 | 16–25 ft² |
| 11×11 to 14×14 ft | 6 | 1 | 20–33 ft² |
One Hub for Everything
All configurations are monitored by a single Mycelium hub — either purchased from us or running on your own Raspberry Pi. Adding more tents doesn't mean adding more hubs.
Why Coverage per Spore Grows with Tent Size
Small tents still get at least one sensor so you always have a reliable reading. Mid-size tents get two or more so you can catch humidity and CO2 gradients between canopy zones.
As tents get larger, air within a single tent volume stays relatively uniform, so each additional Spore can cover more floor area without losing accuracy.
Not sure which tier fits? Measure your tent's floor footprint, find the row it falls in, and start there. You can always add more Spores to your Hyphae later as your grow expands.
