Are gorilla grow tents really worth the extra 150-200 compared to other companies?
If you have the bread get one and let us know. I have bought two cheap tents that way out perform my expensive tent in the light leak category.Are gorilla grow tents really worth the extra 150-200 compared to other companies?
Recommend any companies for a 4x4?If you have the bread get one and let us know. I have bought two cheap tents that way out perform my expensive tent in the light leak category.
I just look on amazon and get the cheapest one with the best reviewsRec

What kind of quality depends on strength requirements for hanging... (hoods, filters, fans)Rec

I was just looking at the reviews of one. Good looks manSecret jardin is well built and cheaper than gorilla
Yeah it's kind of impossible to not have light leaks from what I see. How can I fix the leaks? Forsay pin holes, can I just put like aluminum furnace tape over the holes from the inside? Sorry guys for so many noob questions I could probably just dig a little further in the forum to find my answers.I have an agromax, I belive HTG makes them, am very happy with it. Metal frame and canvas, as long as those two criteria are met I don't think brands matter that much. Has some pinhole light leaks around some seams but I have never had them cause issue.
I concur!!! He'll I have all my vents open in a room that I have the light on sometimes and some light cones thru the blinds and never causes a problem. I mean bro, there is moon light right?? So light leaks from pin holes don't seem to be that big of deal.Yeah, they have caused no issue for me. If you want to fix, I think you are on the right track, little foil tape on the inside.
I should point out, cause it was a funny site to behold, but I could see the growlight coming through the holes when I turned out the light in the room however I zipped myself into the tent and saw no light from the room coming through into the tent. If it did, it was low enough to not be perceived by my eye and guessing not enough to effect plants.
Absolutely @OldPine thank you. My seeds arrived the other day so will be starting shortlyHey Packs - I've got a gorilla and a Hydrobay. Bought the gorilla first, and I've been impressed with pretty much every feature, especially how impervious it is to light. I then bought a Hydrobay off amazon and did this because I didn't need total darkness since the tent was going in a room that I could completely close off.
I was shocked to see that the Hydrobay was decent quality. Far exceeded my expectations. Again, I didn't need the quality of the gorilla. I'll probably never buy a gorilla in the future. The hydrobay was $199.99 for 48"x96"x80".
Does it leak light? Yes.
But, it does share some of the same features as a gorilla. Lots and lots of ports. Nice strong metal frame (though I wouldn't try using it for monkey bars), good reflective material all around, the tent material is a nice thickness, and there is a full floor tray that doesn't flop over like some of the brands.
Worth a look for your needs, maybe?
Haha i just started running a hydrobay 4x8 a month ago. Was pleased with quality for sure. Ofc, i ripped a zipper today, my own fault really, im not near gentle on itHey Packs - I've got a gorilla and a Hydrobay.

Thats what i have. I like itIve bought 3 tents, one of them being a hydro bay tent. The hydro bay tent has the best poles but it leaks light like a siv. The best light blocking tent Ive gotten was also the cheapest and best built as far as fabric and design was a milliard.
