60”x60”x80” Mylar Hydroponic Grow Tent for Indoor Plant Growing

I have to say, this is my first grow tent, and i was really wanting to go with Sun Hut, because theyre supported by a washington state company. but...man this price? is damn near 50% lower then even some of the closest competition.So, packaging, is fine. its absolutely adequate. nothing fancy, but its all here, it wasnt a massive box and it wasnt unwieldy that said im like ...6'5'' and huge so stats? package is about 5'8'' and weighed...i dont know like 40 pounds? it wasnt a lot.Instructions are very clear in the skeleton assembly, and if you've ever assembeled anything this should be cake for you.The tent part though... ok im a big guy, but i really could have used another set of hands. The Tent material comes in one solid piece, which is great for light retention, ...just not very fun to get up and over, once you find the bottom, put the skeleton in there, and throw all the material you can on top, it kind of all just falls into place though, all in all, took a me only 20 minutes to get through.The tent material? i mean, again this is my first tent. the stuff feels heavy duty, it feels great, it has a good quality to it. zippers are rugged so far, very strong, but im a big guy so i take caution with everything, just ..just dont stand on it and start pulling, always take care of your stuff.i sealed everything up and zipped myself inside of it to check for light leaks.i dont know what you guys find acceptable, but i find it very acceptable. the only light leaks were fromZipper, but they have these cool folds that i just didnt adjust properly, and when they slid into place, no more light from the zippers.the air ports, a very small ray of light can get in if you dont tuck everything on the air ports. but man it was negligible i myself, am going to be leaving all of the mesh air ducts open, so it will be getting light on the inside, but when i was in there it more resembled a night in nature, you could kinda see but it was dark enough to where anything would think its night time in there.seriously, any light leak problem is covered by their construction and fabrication, the little zipper flaps, dual pull string outlet and inlet design. fantastic.the mesh screens are covered by the same material held in place by velcro, a nice touch, i can just roll them up and stick them to themselves. super easy to use.i fit comfortably in that tent so theres tons of space.The skeleton is a bit flimsy for my tastes, but again...just a big dude its probably fine, i dont know the specifications on them, its not included in the one page instructions, but my KIND LED l600 hangs just fine no worries. waiting for my fans and filters, which btw it comes with filter hangers..the colors are killer btw, since i have an led light its purple on the inside and purple trim? very nice touch i love it.I have ONE GRIPE. ONE complaint, and its not enough to knock a star off for.i wish the top hanging skeletal mounts were a bit sturdier, and had some kind of locking mechanism, be it a nut and bolt, some zip ties... Just something to keep them centered and in place, that is just me being particular though.Seriously??? i dont know why you'd buy something more expensive. Apollo Horticulture, you won my business for tents, lets check your other products! next up, YOUR FANS

I own both. I bought the Gorilla about a year before. In all honesty, I don't see how a Gorilla merits being so much more expensive. Here's the thing about grow tents... NONE of them are EVER going to be 100% light proof. ALL tents will have pinholes at the seams (at best). As long as that is acceptable to you, then they're awesome. Apollo did an excellent job designing their tents. They go up quick and they look slick. Ports are all in great locations. Access is by far the best feature. So here's the quick shoot-out as my 5 x 5 Gorilla goes head-to-head with the 5 x 5 Apollo...Tent Material: Gorilla is thicker yet seems no more durable than the Apollo. In fact, the lightweight flaps on the Apollo make it easier when getting in to work. The massive flaps on the Gorilla are kind of a pain to deal with.Frame Poles: Again, the Gorilla's are thicker... and again, it's been more of a pain to me than not. I suppose they "could" hold more weight than the Apollo poles, but in no way does that mean the Apollo is incapable of handling gear.Inner Lining: They're different materials, but both tents inside material is very durable and shiny.Ports: Hands down, Apollo is better. The Gorilla ports are kinda iffy. One even came unstitched while setting up!Access: No question, Apollo is better. The Gorilla is bulky, heavy and you only have two points of entry. For a 5 x 5, that's just lame. The Apollo has a main door and two side openings. Easy access all the way around.Price: Here's the biggie... Obviously, Gorillas are over-priced. If I could return my Gorilla and get all my money back, I would. Why? Simply because the cost of the Gorilla doesn't equate to a better product. The Apollo is priced so far less than the Gorilla, it's just silly.So take my advice (or not) but for your money and value, Apollo is clearly the better choice.

5 stars for the quality to price ratio.Decently tough material, frame holds 2 enclosed light hoods excellently, construction is quite good for the price.I would be interested to see what it actually takes to destroy this.Don't get me wrong, It's not perfect. Not every stitch is light tight, however total light leaks when all ports and accesses are closed, are less than 10. I would trust this with my Co2.Pretty easy to assemble with a little strategy, the instructions need more detail on actually assembling it. 2 people required for sure.5 x 5 is the perfect size for 4 to 6 plants, easily access all the contents through the door and Windows.It has a total of 6 duct vents, 2 windows, 1 door and 3 passive air intakes near the bottom.Door side has just a doorLeft of the door are 1 duct vent low, 1 high, 1 window, one intake vent.Right of door is a mirror of the leftBack wall has one power cord inlet high one low, double cinch, and one intake vent.Roof has 2 duct vents furthest from the door.

Strong, durable zippers, strong steel tubing snap together frame, everything is double stitched and even though I was hard on it, no tears or loose threads at all. Mylar is as shown not simply flat which is good.Accessibility is amazing, big front door, two side doors, lots of ducting and wiring holes, pull tighten cords work good on them too, double sided for light/ air leak stoppage.No light leaks around zippers, there is material on both sides behind zipper to stop light leaks, there are minor light leaks if you look closely, hardly any though, I was expecting some, I'm talking a few tiny pinholes per side they claim 99.9% no light leaks and I would agree, nothing your roommates would see, I was actually expecting worse for a cheaper less name brand tent but was pleasantly surprised.Negatives: Instructions were for a different style tent but cmon we'll get it together. I doubt it can hold 110lbs most likely closer to 75-85lbs to be safe but I did NOT do a weight test so it's just a thought, still stronger than what you need to carry in my opinion. There was a "new grow tent" smell but after ventilating the room for a few days it's completely gone. Manufacturer claims 100% reflectivity, no it's not some new space age mylar it's gotta be 92-97% maybe 98-99% but it's not 100%, I knew that going in so no loss of stars for any of these minor negatives, just trying to be as honest as possible.Tip: Pre drill and put in some self tapping small screws to hold the ceiling bars, I was worried as they just sit there and stay in place using just gravity, 6 tiny self tapping screws (pre drilled) so it doesn't take all day and they will not only stay up but stay perfectly in place spaced where you want them, you don't want to accidentally knock down your lighting system because you cheaped out on a few screws.Was thinking about trying a better brand next time but am so happy with this unit I might save my money and go with Apollo again.

The tent is very well made and well designed, The poles that support the light should be secured but it's an easy fix , overall it's a fantastic tent at a great price ,it came very well packed with timely delivery.

My first grow tent. Got it on sale for 180 cdn so how can you beat that.Material and zippers all feel heavy duty, I have zero light penetration from the zippers or seams. Overall I am very pleased.Edit: I found the only flaw. No windows, would be nice to be able to peak in without opening the doors. But thats something I can live with.

I would buy this tent again because of the price. Its not as well built as the Secret Jardin. Light leaks with zipper and material is thinner. Also beware of sharp metal burrs on the poles. I had to bend a couple down and wrap in electrical tape so the tent would not get punctured. Its a nice size with good head room. Easily have a few shelves in there. Was able to put up by myself. Would recommended for the home gardener who wants to grow year round or for starting plants and flowers in the winter/spring. Side doors don't go to the ground. Would allow you to reach in but might be hard to work on a plant in the back corner.

Great deal great product. ..and super fast shipping!!!! Great job thx!!!!
