Buying a grow tent-opinions.

I've got three ebay tents and love em all - never had troubles with any of them. That being said I'm also growing in the attic and might suggest just getting a bunch of panda film - stapling it up to the rafters is pretty easy and it allows you to utilize as much or as little space in whatever configuration you want for pretty cheap.

i would suggest a jarden or a nocer tent since they are thick matierial, i dont know about the off brand tents. i agree with gastanker about the panda film but behind the panda film you should insulate somehow, rolled insulation would probably work and a layer of tin foil.

Thanks for the quick replies folks-much apreciated.

Gastanker-what kinda lights are you using?

I've run 2x 1kW in a 4x8, 1kW in a 4x4, and 600w in a 4x4. Right now I'm growing with a 600w in a 5x5 panda film DIY tent along with a CFL veg tent (ebay 4x4x6.5 on it's side).

Thanks Gastanker-I was curious.

i have 2 off brand tents that work fine that i got off amazon. but, they dont put the air inlet/outlets in logical places or should i say, they dont have enough.
example, all my air inlets/outlets are on one side of the tent, so, if you have to place your tent in a spot where they are obstructed.. it sucks. if they would have added a couple on the other side. it would have made the tent more flexible.
there are some good, higher quality tent that have this feature.

depends on your budget

good luck in selecting

I have a Secret Jardin (4',4',6') and it works great. Nice metal frame not a PVC frame like some other brands have, so you dont need to worry about your light and equipment dropping on your plants and possibly ending like the climax of a Michael Bay movie. Lots of in/out holes ( 7 i think in total for mine) with 2 smaller holes for cords. The quality on this tent really shows and i recommend it to anyone looking for a tent.
