i got a darkroom 100 i just love it, strong build, beautiful interior, the side windows lets me do almost all the maintnance work easily, and i keep it outside isolated from rain etc...and its behaving like it should for a tent with that price...

only con i got is passing the 125mm sound isolated tubes was a pain in the ass cause its too big to pass in those small holes...but with a lot of strenght and technique i got it, and the fabric didnt even tear a lil bit...
I also used some duck tape in all the fittings of the tent just to make it a bit more strong...

apart from that i just wish i had her since my first grow and lot of shit wouldnt have hapened lol

i got a pic of my last grow inside the tent...not much to show but still you understand why the fabric is so good...looks almost as reflective as my 97% adjust a wings lol

My DR150 replaces a HydroHut (nicknamed the execution chamber) and I couldn't be happier. It's entirely worth whatever premium you pay over lesser tents. Seriously... I'm no brand/product nutswinger, but this is definitely a sound investment. Buy with confidence, I say.

Just curious, what type of lighting are you using in each of those hoods?

I used to have a SilverStar (6"), but found it to be a rather large reflector, especially for 600w (had to re-center my bulb for better performance), especially for a 4x4 tent. Can you fit two SilverStar's side-by-side at equal height, without overlapping? Or did you hang them at a different height because they couldn't easily be at the same level w/o tilting?

Currently I have a 400W MH in the front light and a 400W HPS in the rear. On Monday I'll remove the MH and replace it with a 600W HPS. The 400 HPS bulb will be swapped out for a 400W CMH. Btw, the MH will go into the clone/mom room that I'm about to finish building.

Oh, they're currently arranged side by side and there's plenty of room to spare. In that photo the plants are still very small with a modest footprint (3 node deep canopy x 75 plants across 3x3 space). Sufficiently illuminated by just one light, in this photo the HPS is actually turned off and pulled up/out of the way.

If I have time tomorrow, I'll take a photo of the grow space. The plants are mostly horizontal and unbelievably thick -like a squashed hedge. :) They'll go into 12/12 within days. So, this be the last weekend before my girls become women.

P.S. Here's an old plant of mine in mid flower.


The nugs pop up ALL over -not mostly in only one or a very few locations.
