Your right amigo, if they're as good as they seem then its worth it. Im in France so I emailed them to ask if they had any resellers here...really hoping they don't have to ship from the US otherwise its another 'i dont know' how many bucks on top...still got LED to buy as well

actually on ebay they have something set up for international sellers i sold tons of electronics to europe and they only paid standard shipping from us.. crazy check into it.. only buy from rep dealers there like danthegrowman or rogue hydroponics... i can call them for you ask about shipping or retailers in your area

on phone with them now i know they have a UK distributor and she is finding out who now.. but she will pass the message to higher ups to see if they cannot find someone in france to carry them.. brb

down to earth... they can drop ship to france through uk distributor

I got a virtual sun 4x4 a few months ago and love it. So far so good. Was a lot cheaper then some of the more well known companies. I got to agree with squidbilly though, always spend the extra. Spend good money once instead of bad money twice.

Hi everyone,

Looking to buy a grow tent but couldn't find much info on the forums. Thought it might be useful to start a thread on this topic for anyone willing to write down or upload whatever comes to mind that might help new buyers. Topics can include;

- Brand manufacturers.
- What to look out for i.e. zip, light penetration, thickness etc.
- What size for your purpose, is your tent too big or too small.
- Reflection %, Mylar or other.
- How many extraction points needed.
- Price comparisons & customer service.
- Weight & durability.
- Ease of assembly & dismantling.
- Why you love or hate your tent.
- Anything else you can think of.

Thanks

Cheers Deus, is that 80 shipping from Gorilla direct or through down to earth? I checked down to earth website & they're about 100 more than Gorilla for the tent only. weird.

call gorilla direct 855 448 4769 in california. they are willing to help you out a bit. just mention you talked with a gentleman in the states that called them about half hour ago.. i think i was in tech service on phone menu.. they will help you out. AWEsome company i had a complaint on sizing of their tents months ago and within 3 months they launched a new line called the gorilla lite and now are coming out with gorilla short line 5 foot tall really a business that listens to their customers.. spend a bit for better everything i know you will be happy

If i believe in a company i will buy and advertise for them.. Just how i am Kinda like my rocket plasma.com light true believer expensive but well worth it

i have a secret jardin 24"X24"X65" ds60 is the model. I haven't had any plants in it yet, but i have don't a ton of testing. It can effectively keep 80 degree temps about a foot under the light with a 4" vortex fan ducted to the 400w HPS hood (not a sealed hood just one duct) with passive air intake that is reasonably cold ~70degrees through both intakes.

i have a good video.. on 4x4

Cool...a lot of people seem happy with Secret Jardin actually & I hope you have many good years with it. Do you think its thick enough? Deusracing will tell you to be really careful not to rip the cover or mylar though...so be gentle lol. How many plants are you hoping to grow in that space, 2/3 or sog? good luck

mine seems very durable. I am not at all worried about ripping it, seems to be made of high quality fiber. The zippers are strong as well.

Spend the money on a better tent, think of how long you will be using it, if not long, build it out of cheap 2x4s and plywood, flat white paint. If your going to be around a while the tents are worth it. I have a secret jardin ds150. Good value, fairly strong, but I needed to reinforce mine a little bit with two lights and a 25# filter, which fell once, and was my fault, scared the shit out of me, good thing they still work with a huge dent in them . Im happy with secret jardin but if I ever went with a larger tent I would go gorrilla tents. I would never try hanging from my secret jardin, but they are loads better than those cheap ass tents on ebay and amazon

Oh I forgot to add, my secret jardin tent has some pinhole lightleaks from the fabric being folded and creased in one area, also the seams leak light slightly but is blocked by the poles, no zipper light leaks, and the very few pin holes are easy to fix.

if getting a bigger tent i actually recommend have many smaller tents insted. Makes it a lot easier to work. If you however want the big tent, then go for the rectangular ones. big square tents can be a bitch when it comes to spreading light in a good manner.

anyone know if LED coverage 120x120cm is wasted in a tent 100x100cm? or would the extra light reflected off the mylar be magically absorbed by the plants ?

Secret Jardin tents, any good?

i see no reason for not being able to use more ligts as long as you can cope with the heat ? its also a bit strain dependent how strong light intensities plants can take.

does the mylar in tents ever need replacing?
