You wouldn't happen to have a link would you? I only see 2x2x3 and 4x4x7

The Zeny 2 x 4

These are my first tents ever and I like these. They have nifty side pockets. Velcro straps in the right places and seem to be well made.
My goal with them is Clone and Special breeding projects. I have a proper room ( that needs to be built out proper ).

Sorry for the delay in reply. The Ukraine War stuff is a big distraction.

This looks to be the same as the Vivosun tents out there, so probably from the same factory & materials but without the branding tags. I have a slightly different shaped one that has been a solid purchase...not pricey but has held up to day to day use. I even got a few extra hang-rods from vivosun so I could have more options for mounting/hanging.

Huh.. I dono... Like I said first tent and now I have two of them.
Floor space is great and head room is good at 5 feet tall.
The construction seems solid enough and it has lots of openings and ventilation options. Seems okay.

I will be using Co2 for the breeding tent with that "rain" tubing. I just don't know if I should get a sensor or use my Cyclestat. I have one I never have used in all these years. I think Cyclestat. I don't see how I can seal a tent.

I agree with you it seems good.
This second one needs some silicone spray on the zipper but other than the zipper not being as good as the first I'm content.

What do you all think about the Atreum Hydra 3200 4x2 grow light? It has 4 bars so it has good coverage even when close to the canopy.

CCFC discount code (10%) knocks price down to $377.10 which puts it in the same ballpark (tent) as the SP3000.

The PAR map looks great.

Keep in mind the light was at 49cm/19.5", which is the same distance for the SP3000 test, not any closer even though it has multiple bars

300w of any led should do. Mars hydro tsl 2000 is a decent pick for the price from a known manufacturer, if you’re willing to risk a less known brand I’ve been eying these up, might put 2 in the other half of my 8x4.

My first grow I had a sp250 and hit 1g/kw

immediately after bought the sp6500 lol

also in a 2x4

whats 1g/kw is it 1gram per kwh? or is it 1g/w?

looks solid

I went a cheap 240w quantum board. You can pick the up for a bit over $100 if your lucky. HLG-240 driver, dimmable and a good mix of spectrum. Pulled roughly 350g last run and made quite a few mistakes. I got mine for $130 on eBay special, but that was quite a while ago.



A tsl2000 has a better footprint, and is affordable as well. A 65w HLG cost more here than the board I ended up getting.

Unitfarm ufl 3000 about the same size light as the tsl 2000 but better diodes they use the new osrams. I just did a run in a 32 inch by 32 inch tent and killed it with it.

I have 2 - 4x2x5ft. grow boxes for flowering and mid to late veg. Each has about 300 watts (just under 40w per sq. ft.).

1 box is under a mf2000 maxsisun and a spider farmer 1000d (no dimmer). The other is under 2 viparspectra xs1500s. I am getting good quality and yield under these led quantum boards compared to a 600w HID bulb in each box in past grows.

So about 40 watts of quality quantum board leds per sq. ft. works for me in these little grow areas........

I'm wanting this same setup myself right now. Am impressed with the near 3to1 red leds to white spread on this unit which makes it an excellent flowering setup.
