Grow tent advice

[kron1ck]

Hi fellow tokers.

 

Just wondering peoples opinions on grow tents.

 

I currently have a grow lush tent (NEVER AGAIN) atm and I want to upgrade to something alot! better.

GL leaks light like there is no tomorrow and the zips are measly weak as well as the support bars and there is no heavy duty poles for filters or fans ect.

 

I was looking on Ebay for tents and came across A few that seem alright to me 

First is the Indoor Elements http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/INDOOR-ELEMENTS-MYLAR-GROW-TENT-2-6M-X-1-3M-X-2M-/400368385309?pt=AU_Seed_Starting_Hydroponics&hash=item5d37d0bd1d&_uhb=1#ht_2804wt_1165

 

Seems alright to me and it comes with heavy duty poles for filters/fans.

 

And second is something called the grow lab http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GROWLAB-PORTABLE-GROW-ROOM-120-120x120x200-/400447215673?pt=AU_Seed_Starting_Hydroponics&hash=item5d3c839839#ht_2798wt_908 My brother has recommended these to me.

 

I also looked into the homebox but can't make my own decision so to all what do you all recommend;

 

 

Thanks guys

ive got 2 grow lush tents , both were crazy cheap 

 

no problems both have light , cooltube , carbon filter and fans hanging with no issues

 

given that I would say anything will be a good upgrade . go for whatever seems to fit your setup in terms of layout and price

Had a few growlush tents, some were ok some were real shithouse, i know what ya mean by the zippers i ended up having to sew more on.

 

As for the tents havent used either but both look bettr than GL.

 

What i did was buy sme timber ( $2.87 for a 2.5m length of 2 by 1 ) form up a frame few supports up top n inbetween n wrap the bastard with panda ( 110 bux get ya like 50 by 3m roll or something) yes is toom much bu never know when ya wana upgrade to a room.

 

Afternoon screwing it all together over a few VB cans is quiet relaxing n save ya shit loads

I gave up on tents, well bought ones anyhow. Instead im just using square alloy tubing from bunnings with panda film. It's still quick to set up and pack down and I have been able to expand and reduce the size of it for different grows.

I had a small growlush tent that was a pos .

I am using sercret jardin tents atm . Good quality zips ,well made , light proof and sturdy frame .  from memory price was competitive .

Like everything else mate, you get what you pay for. Grow lab and homebox are the same brand. They used to be homebox but now are growlab. Still got my 1st homebox running be well over 2 years now holding lights, fan n filter and the light from the standard frame. Hope this helps.

I've got a homebox as well, seems to do it's job holding fan + filter up, although it seems to leak a fair bit of ligght

I had an indoor elements tent in the past and recently bought a grow luch tent which I regret doing.  The grow lush tent is a cheap piece of crap compared to the indoor elements tent which is why I'm buying an indoor elements tent exactly the same as the one you were looking at.  The quality is astoundingly different so I really recommend giving indoor elements a go.  Their tents are light proof when you have a fan pumping air into the tent as the flaps can let out light if you rely on a negative pressure for air intake only and they are built to last.  The same cannot be said of growlush although if on a super strict budget they can be made to work well enough.

A few benefits I'm finding from the square aluminium DIY approach is the ability to modify the size of your tent if required. At one stage I had to change rooms and found I had an extra meter of space. All it took was a few extra connectors and I was away.

 

I can't speak for all tents, however I find square alloy much more rigid which helps when your a clumsy bastard like me and bump into the fucker often.

 

Good to know I'm not the only one cooper!
