I got a cheap 4x8 off of Ebay. Cost me $185 and since the place was in my hometown I just picked it up.
I have the weight on the ceiling maxed out. The tent is also 7' high. Thick canvas and mylar, multiple 4" and 6" vents. The zippers are tough. However it is nowhere near the convenience of a Secret Jardin or Sun Hut(very nice tents for the money)

The Intense line is available in 4x8, 5x10, 8x7, 10x10,16x8, and 20x10
The Dark Room II Pro series tents look nice as well.

Are the Intense line and the Dark Room II pro series,made from the same material?
I'm kind of in the same boat as the OP. I have been running a Grow Lab 80 for a while, and have been very happy with it. The windows seemed pretty gimmicky to start with, but I find that I use one of them a couple of times a day. I keep a thermometer/hygrometer in clear view of the window, and I can simply pull up the corner of the flap and reassure myself that everything is still fine! It also works well for keeping an eye on the circulating fan. I would like to add another tent, and if there is anything available that is better (Secret Jardin, maybe?), I wouldn't mind upgrading. However, I would hate like hell to take a step down! Does anybody have direct experience with a Grow Lab and an alternate?

I got a grow lab (L) & homebox (S). Both made by the same company just rebranded. Both are built very well. The fabric they use is thick & there zippers are also thick so they dont break. The only light leak is from either the outlets where cables come in & out if not pulled tight or the air inlet flaps if you leave them up.
The other one I have is the hydrohut. This one I dont recommend unless your not able to get the homebox or grow lab. Unlike the grow lab or homebox the material seems thinner & the zipper is tiny compared the GL or HB. 1st problem from the gate was a bunch of pin holes. 2nd the zipper was falling off because the thread came loose, had to redo it by hand. 3rd there was light leak coming from in between the zippers. 4th the frame is all metal with the corners welded & 2 of my corners were not welded straight so even tho I got it together there was a bend/slant you could clearly see in the middle when you joined it. Man did I regret paying $300? or whatever I did then for it.
Edit: One thing I could do without on the grow lab is the windows. Makes you feel like you need glasses. has a blurry effect to it.

Ive been looking all over the net for "Hydro Hut Elite" grow tents but cant find them anywhere.Got any suggestions where to find them?They sound Bad ASS!
I was unable to find it when I looked last night, but I did come up with the Hydro Hut Estate. Perhaps a name change? All of the spec's are the same as MHM was referring to. Check out the following link.

I don't think so.
The Secret Jardin Intense line supposed to be the only tent on the market that you can use time and time again.

Just got a Hydro Hut Silver 4x8. I had a couple secret Jardins. Took one down for the 55X110 inch footprint.
I thought the HH Silver would be so much better. It's much stronger. (Structural Rigidity). No plastic corners. Steel poles that lock together. But it leaks light insane! The huge zipper flaps don't work. The port placement is terrible. Nothing a razor can't fix. But, I thought I'd get the word out.
Switching to vertical. Peace.

I think Im gonna go with the Secret Jardin Intense line.I wonder though which Secret Jardin models have less problems with light leaks.The Darkroom II,or the Intense line?
The intense line is suppose to be the new Heavy duty commercial line.

The Intense is supposed to be much better for wear and tear and light leaks.
