2.4 x 1.2 x 2m Grow Tent — Ambient R240 by HOMEbox
HB-TENT-AMBR240-2412200
Pairs well with
The HOMEbox Ambient R240 is a 2.4 x 1.2 x 2m (8x4) rectangular grow tent with 2.88m² of grow space — effectively two 1.2m square zones side by side, built for growers running a dual-light setup or a serious perpetual rotation. German-designed with HOMEbox's PAR+ reflective inner lining, a 150kg load-rated frame — double the Q-series rating — dual Ø300mm roof ports, and four OmniFlow airvents, it's the step from hobby tent to proper grow room without the renovation.
Specifications
- Run two LEDs, one per 1.2m zone — 600W–1000W each depending on how hard you push. Our pick is a pair of Treegers GL650W+, giving you 1300W of dimmable coverage across the full 2.88m².
- A 200mm (8") extraction fan and carbon filter handles the volume. The Vivosun AeroZesh kit in 8" covers fan, filter and ducting in one box.
- Both zones share one light schedule, but dimmable lights let you run each end at different intensity — handy for staggered plant sizes in a perpetual rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HOMEbox Ambient R240 an 8x4 grow tent?
Yes. At 240 x 120cm the R240 is the metric equivalent of an 8x4 (8ft x 4ft) grow tent, with 2.88m² of grow space and a 2m height.
What lighting suits the R240?
Two LEDs of 600W to 1000W each, one over each 1.2m square zone. Our light of choice is a pair of Treegers GL650W+ — dimmable, so you can run each zone independently.
Can I run veg and flower at the same time in the R240?
No — the R240 is a single open space without a divider, so both ends share the same light schedule. What the two zones do give you is independent lighting intensity per end, which suits staggered plant sizes rather than mixed photoperiods.
What size extraction fan does the R240 need?
A 200mm (8") extraction fan is the right fit for this tent volume. The Vivosun AeroZesh kit in the 8" size is our recommended setup — it includes the fan, carbon filter and ducting.
How much weight can the R240 frame hold?
Up to 150kg — double the rating of the square Q-series tents. That covers two lights, an 8" fan, a carbon filter and hanging accessories with margin to spare.
Is the R240 light-proof?
Yes. The R240 is built from robust, light-tight materials with no stray light leakage when closed, so your light schedule stays uninterrupted.
