Hi guys, firstly let me apologise for not coming back to you sooner, i have een flat out visiting shops,going to head office and i have just come back from the Sanferweed expo in pamplona,spain!!! im knackeed!! lol Anyway i will answer your questions now,
Genfranco; Im not sure on the serial numbers but you can tell by the logo on the bottom left front. if it has green logo and writing then it is one of the newer versions but we have changed the colour back to orange so the brand ne one will be orange again but check out the pic on my profile, if the logo matches your one on the tent then you have a new one.
Ganjagoddess; Thank for the great comments, regarding the 3m2 tent we designed it for the american market initialy but it has become a hot favouraite in europe too. It is the same spec as the DR240 which is able to hold 15kg in each quadrant, access to all sides, 2 x 210mm extraction and 2 x 210mm intraction, with sockets positined if you want to run 2x cooltubes.We are increasing the size of the extraction/intraction sockets. I dont have picture at the moment but as soon as i do i will post it on here,Hope this helps.
Hotwired; Yes you do need a intraction fan as you will need to change the atmosphere in the room 15 times an hour at least. As you prob know you need to keep the plants at 78 ideally and i guess you are going to be running air cooled lights as your running your 6'' through them but i think you will be supprised at the amount of resistance the fan and lights effect the efficency of the fan, i believe you will need at least 2 x 8'' fans extracting, then say two smaller 6'' intracting in (this ensures negative preassure) Providing adequate air flow is evident in the tent and as long asyou are extracting out of the room the tent shouldnt change the ambient temp of the room. Hope this helps, good luck.
Kenaz; Thanks for the great comments im glad to hear them. We are just opening a U.S branch in the next month or so. So hopefully alot more of your friends will have them too. :) and it also means i will get the chance to cme over (Providing they let me in the country lol)

Thanks to all of you for writing on here and i look forward to some more of them in the future, please beare with me in case of delay in reply but i already work 7 days a week and my feet dont touch the ground, god if it want for the reef:joint: i would be a raging nutter he he :mrgreen:

Thanks for the reply gareth.

I would like to use a DR300w. The amount of cubic feet in this tent would be around 325. If I go by your instructions and change the air in the tent 15 times an hour.......that would be 4875 cf of air moved per hour.

So if I divide 4875 by 60 minutes it comes out to 81.25 cfm. I realize this would be too weak to keep the room cool but it's a starting point.

My plan is to run a HO 6" 440 cfm fan pulling air thru 2 - 1000 watt lights and a small can filter 33. My guess is by the time it gets to the filter I should be pulling about 150 to 200 cfm. I also have a HO Vortex 8" 720 cfm if the 6 can't handle the job.

I may use a whisperline fan for the intake. I need to keep things quiet.

I'll try it all out first before getting started. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

so i was looking at the DR40s... i heard they leak light from the zippers... any truth? i wanna run 2 of these for a perpetual since they are the smallest tents availible... but if they leak light bad and stuff... i'd just go with a homebox xs.... (the next smallest)

Hi guys,

Ganjagoddess im asking my boss about made to measure as im getting alot of requests for it, but watch out for jan/feb there may be something of interest to you wink wink
To the other fella sorry i forgot your name, i have not heard of the zips leaking light, we did have a problem with them breaking and have long sonce change the zip for a new heavy duty one, i think generally we are the best tents for not leaking light, but then i would say that hehe

Could I use these tents for potting grows, not hydro? Also I would use High Sodium lighting for it, would it get too hot in the tents?

it works fine with soil.... heheheh...

My writing is in green and i cant see your logo on your profile..... I realize that this has been a while but beleave it or not i just put it up a few weeks ago..lol... great tent... very nice attention to detail on exhaust ports..love the pull strings to tighten the ducting... and having two on each hole makes it waaaayy light proof... very nice...

As far as any light leaking... I see what people talk about in the zipper... but it has nothing to do with a fault of the tent... Secret jardin has put two zipper covers on the inside and you have to make sure that they are set right when you open and clones the zipper... when everything is set up right and you learn your equipment there are 0 problems... I love this tent and recommend it to Anyone...

If you open a branch in sacramento CA ill quit my building Engineer job and start working for yall... if you can at least match the pay... lol..

really guys buy this product without worry.

Im in Nor-Cal too..Nevada Countybongsmilie...gettin ready to purchase the DR150. I was thinking about using a growzilla hood inside and 2 600w lumatek digital ballast running hps (X2) for flower and hps/conversion (1 of each) for veg. since scent would be an issue for me i'm probably gonna run outside air through duct-through light-through duct on other side-and out tent. (this way my light cooling air is fresh and theoretically would be odorless as not pulling air from tent, am i right on this?) not sure what size/cfm fan im gonna need to do this and reach beneficial temps for climate inside. then i would still obviously need a filter to scrub through the climates exhaust air coming from the tent...once again not sure what size fan would be optimum for climate exhaust for the dr150. Not to mention what intake setup im in need of. should i make it passive? should i make it active? I would have a couple clip on fans inside for circulation, any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated. i am an amatuer indoor/experienced outdoor, and just want to make sure i setup as efficiently as possible for my ladies. Also, does any body here have experience with co2 tanks...i would like to set one up inside as well, but it seems like an exhaust fan would suck it right out of the tent, especially if intake fans were part of the setup. am i close to home with any of these? any suggestions would rock...keep the peace alive...
