I just looked it up, even for a 3x3 gorilla still maintains the center zipper design.. Horrible design and completely unnecessary for such a small tent. Unless you have height issues like I do, I would stay far away from gorilla tents..

Medigow is going to ve Best bang for buck in any flavor, followed by mars se series with 301, then spider farmer with 301's.

Any of the market leaders would be a good choice. These include AC Infinity, Spider Farmer, Gorilla, Vivosun, etc. Something to consider other than the size is the placement of ports used for venting and wires. Make sure their placement works for the space your tent will be in.


For a 3x3 tent, a 240-watt light is about the right size. So, for example, a ViparSpectra XS2000 would work well. AC Infinity's T33 is designed for a 3x3 tent, but it's a bit more costly. Once again, a light from any of the market leaders would be a good choice.

nahhh 300-400w for a 3x3 50-65w a sq ft 9 sq ft in a 3x3

I've never needed that much light in any of the tents I use. 30W / sq ft is more than adequate for good-quality lights, unless there's a lot of distance between the light and the plant.

Your math is off, by the way. Your high value of 400W in a 3x3 tent is only 44W per sq ft, which is quite a bit less than the 50-65 watt range you recommended.

Honestly a tent is a tent... the light is what makes or breaks you... I have a tent and non tent grow area...

But the top shelf tent brand is gorilla tents...

As for light 3x3x6 I'd look for a 400 watt led

Not true the acinfinity I a lot better quality thicker poles better zippers no light leaks and great customer service.

I've got an aci 4x4 and a gorilla 4x4. Unless you can use the extra vertical space gorilla's can provide, go with the aci, theres not much difference, and less $. Also have the aci evo 6. It's not a bad light, but I prefer the hlg blackbird.

Would you say the taller Gorilla tent would be better suited for sativa plants that like to get tall? I just pulled the trigger on a 4x4 Pro for $280 shipped, but now I’m wondering if I should’ve just got the ACI kit. Plan to get ACI 6” exhaust fan, still not sure what the best light to get would be, was looking at SpiderFarmer SE5000, ViparSpectra KS5000, the ACI EVO6 would prly be the highest I’d want to go budget wise.

If you can do the height extension on the gorilla to get like an extra foot, then do that. If, like me, you have 8 foot ceilings then just go with ACI. I can only compare hlg blackbird and ac evo 6. I'd get the hlg again, just seems a better light, to me.
