Ok, thanks.
You must have an older version of 4x4 ac infinity. It has one main and 2 side doors/openings , one side no entry, do wish 4th side had access like the 2 other side doors/openings but there is plenty side access.If you're the kind of grower that's continually trying new strains the extra height may be a benefit to you. There are some strains that keep stretching almost until the end and they can reach 5 feet easy even if you've scrogged them at 16" from the bottom of the tent. I have owned Gorilla, AC Infinity and SpiderFamer tents. Of those, the Gorilla wins for height, materials and fabrics used as well as heavier gauge zippers. It's nice to have an 8 foot tall tent that can go even higher if needed. The next up from what I've owned I would say the Spider Farmer 4x4. Decently made tent, decent zipper and the best feature, each side has a zip out door to access plants on the back side of the tent if needed. WIth the Gorilla you have to unzip each door and unzip the top and bottom all the way to the back to pull the entire side away from the tent. This can be done on both sides so you have full access to the sides and back but you have to unzip around the tent poles to get that access and the space on the sides of the tent to unfold the wrap around side and store it while you're accessing that part of the tent.
I have to part ways with some of the other suggestions here on the AC Infinity tents. I also had a AC 4x4 tent, that's now being used as a dry tent. The main reason that tent left active service is because the zipper was poorly sewn on and going around the corner bends was extremely tight and caused light leaks at those stress points. Another issue I had with that tent was zero side access as there are no doors. Truth be told when I contacted ACI about the crappy zippers they said "no problem" an shipped me out another tent no questions asked or return required. The first tent went in the trash, the second one is sewn together better and is occasionally used as a dry tent.
If I had to rank personal choice:
Gorilla for material quality, height and features
Spider Farmer for all around decent tent with features you'd want
ACI, only because you get the plate to hang one of their controllers on
If I still used tents I'd leave the ACI and go with gorillas, SF if I was on a budget.
Infinity Tents (their complete system) think they are the best tent made BUT expensive Gorilla isnextAC Infinity is a great brand. $250 for their 4×8×6.5'

Thanks, I already ordered a gorilla grow thick 4x8.Anyone showed you these UltraYield 8 footers. It's the brand I have and has been good for a year and a half, so far...
You won’t be disappointed. Plan on needing a second person to help with assembly.Thanks, I already ordered a gorilla grow thick 4x8.
Ac Infinity makes one of the best tents out there ... although it's a bit more expensive than the cheaper tents. (With grow tents, you usually get what you pay for) Another to consider would be Agro-Max. It's a bit less expensive than the AC Infinity at most places, but their 8' x 4' is a bit over-sized measuring 52" x 98" ... just enough extra room to allow a large light like Grower's Choice ROI-E720 or a pair of 4 x 4 drain trays inside it without using a shoe horn or a crowbar.AC Infinity is a great brand. $250 for their 4×8×6.5'

Yeap, got a growmie to help. Now for the light, looking at the spider farmer se5000 with discounts I can get it for 498.00 shipped.You won’t be disappointed. Plan on needing a second person to help with assembly.
You'll like the light but it's not enough all by itself to light a 4 x 8. You're looking at a minimum of 1000 watts (2 lights would be better than 1) to light all 32 sq ft of the space. You can always start with one and add another later at a better time so you do have options to consider. Just know that wall to wall/corner to corner coverage will need about 1000w minimum to completely light the space.Yeap, got a growmie to help.

Yes you are correct, I have 2 sf1000 and with the se5000 that will allow me to grow 4 legall plants. I am also going to grow some veggies, micro greens and herbs and I'll use some cheap lights for them.You'll like the light but it's not enough all by itself to light a 4 x 8.

Thanks, got the gorilla 4x8 thick tent.i will say just don't get a ViparSpectra tent, they have cheap build quality. I'm not even picky, but the zipper was small, weak, and a lot of light leaks.
Micro greens? like these..... Love my fresh micro greens salads........ I am also going to grow some veggies, micro greens and herbs and I'll use some cheap lights for them.
Yes, planning on putting up a small rack in my tent with some cheap LEDs to grow them.Micro greens? like these..... Love my fresh micro greens salads.

Your opinion is valid, but I do want to correct that as that is wrong with any 4x4 purchased recently. Unless they have some 1 door version I don't know about.
