looking at tents..:(

I have purchased 5 tents in the past.

The difference I have noticed from an expensive tent to a cheap tent is.

expensive... Sleeves included, zipper and opening are more convenient. 1-2 zips to open one side.

cheap... no sleeves (insulated ducting fills the gap), zippers are not convenient. Take 5 zips to open one side.

If I purchased another I would get another cheap tent. Tiny light leaks, from the manufacture, were in all 5 tents. Foil Tape solves the problem.

What's the deal? Why does no one make tall tents anymore? My 4+ year old tents are all 7 or 8 ft. Now they are mostly 6ft 5in or so.

ya really. my tent is 5 feet tall and half way through my first grow i was getting worried i wouldnt have the room to finish. gotta watch those sativas
 
tall tents arent neccesssary fbecause the reason most people get tents are to do dicrete grows in which case plants tend to be small. if i where growing larger plants i would use a room not a tent.

tents outside, now thats a funny thought, and will a 4ft t5 fit in a 4ft tent youve got to be kidding buddy wteva your smoking i need some lol.

they cant be dismantled as easy, and the cost to make a wooden cab that does dismantle can get expensive.

im pretty good at sewing myself and could probably make a real tent but material all together would cost me(cuz im not buying in bulk) about 60$ so not saving too much there, the companys that make cheap tents probably spend about 40$ on a tent, with the metal pipes, cheaper with plastic ones.
 
lol well even on 12/12 from a seed some sativas almost out grow my 5 foot tent. so a taller one would be nice haha

They are a necessity in my setup. 9-13 wk sativas are mostly what's grown here. I've been big on 42in tomato cages for a little while now.

I like the tents because I can have 2 flowering rooms (alternating 12/12, 5 hps, 3000 total watts) and my veg, propogation and mother plants all in one bedroom. I can enter the room 20hrs a day to do whatever i need. Have just enough room for ferts/equip, 3 18 gallon resevoirs, room to work (plenty), a stand for ballasts, a 2x3x6.5 ventd drying armoire, and a little trim table. all in one 12 x 14 room.
 
Yes, it was easy. Use insulated ducting. It fills the sleeveless holes perfectly. Foil tape on little light leaks at corners and such.
 
i was looking for a 2x6 at once point only one company makes a 3x6 and its in Europe. 4x6 is pretty common actually.
yeah thats why i switched from the LEDwholsalers tent, no sleeves.

i was wondering why is a 3x3 cheaper than 2x4 if its more space?
