STAY AWAY FROM APOLLO BRAND GROW TENTS!!

Brand new 5x10 tent fresh outta box. Great reviews online. Reality is though, it didnt even make it past set up.....i didnt even hang lights on it yet. Tent ripped like parchment paper & support poles folded like tin foil........ I couldnt believe it,..........so now i need to send this piece of shit back & search out a good brand that also comes in a 5x10.......
Suggestions......im trying to see if gorilla makes a 5x10....

i have one from secret jardin that was super cheap and very durable.

Secret Jardin ftmfw when it comes to tents. Still rocking a 5x10 tent for 3 yrs now. I've beaten and cut this tent to shit over the years. Still working for my 3x600mh veg needs.

Sheiiiit dude slap together 4 big tarps with duct tape and canadian ingenuity lol....whammmo....growtent

I prefer Quictent, I have a 4x4 and a 5x10. The 5x10 is supporting an 8inch inline and 2 Jupiter 8 xl hoods. They have been durable, good quality zippers on all doors, solid poles and joints. The price on ebay / amazon was mid range, Ive seen cheaper and more expensive ones. Ive owned both over a year now, no issues yet thankfully.

Bro my 4x8 Apollo kicks ass. You got some cheap Chinese knock off. Apollo doesn't make the best, lights, filters, or fans, but their tents are better than most.

Yeah.

I just have a really hard time believing the poles just buckled in half upon setup.

I like my 4x4 veg tent. My gorilla 5x9 actually split a corner setting it up

Brand new..

Keep in mind.....that was b4 the lights. & to think i was expecting to hang 4x 1000w LED lights on there.........yeah rite....

I've had my 4 x 8 for a long time I even taught a friend some gardening and opened it probably 7 to 8 times a day no problem with zipper etc Apollo tents are decent secret jardins yes they are better but Apollo is half the price

That's strange. My 4x2 apollo seems quite solid! Maybe they get worse as they get bigger :-/ .

My 4X8 Apollo is a sturdy, tough, kick ass motherfucking unit and for the $$$ it's a no brainer.

I totally agree!

I didnt open the box with a jackhammer......lol pics dont lie.....this think ripped like a zig zag....

Did you ask about a replacement? I have a 3X3 from Apollo. Torn down and set up several times. No issues.
But I know it sucks when shit don't work like it's supposed to.
I also have a Milliard. Both are fine.
Good luck finding something that works for you.

I have a 5x9 gorilla grow tent. The non Lite version or whatever. The OG.

Its fucking awesome. Had 3 minor pinholes I could find that I aluminum tape patched over and that's it. I honestly feel like I could hang from the thing and do pull ups, not that I'm going to. Only thing I can complain about is port locations and amount, although its doable ( more than doable actually) I'd rather a slightly different setup.
