Homebox "seconds" tent ok for veg?

I am looking to get an inexpensive tent for my 3x3 ebb and flow table and use it for veg. I saw these homebox L seconds tents on bghydro.com for only a hundred bucks and here is the description they give:

"Seconds?
HOMEbox has built its reputation on products of the highest quality built to our exacting German standards; however, there was a problem with a recent shipment. As a result of a factory defect, we have one shipment of HOMEboxes that did not meet our rigid quality standards. A small percentage of our products failed to be as bright white as we would like it to be. Some models have either a dull white or slight grey on the inside layer."

This shouldn't really matter for veg should it? I could always throw up some mylar on the inside of it... $100 is a pretty good deal if you ask me. Does anyone have any experience with these? I'm looking to run an aircooled 400 watt CMH in it.

to be honest i don't think it would matter for veg or flower...

its just less bright from what i read, no tent company in their right mind would sell another off gassing tent, esp after the tent scare.... not even at a lower price....

looks like the inside isn't as bright white as it should be and dosn't reflect light- I would just get it and cover it with mylar. but then again after buying the tent and spending on mylar your almost as expensive as the regular one...

i think probably just get it and don't worry about it- prolly not that big a difference. or either spend the extra 60 or however much it is to get the regualr one.

I'm planning on getting the Growlab 120L for my flowering tent... and its quite pricey... so I'm trying to spend as little as possible on the veg tent. I have some Panda plastic laying around where i could throw some up if it seemed excessively dull in there I guess....

I just bought the Homebox XL "Seconds", shipped to my house for $145 USD. It says on the description that "some may have a matte white to dull gray color, while some may be perfectly fine- it would just be a long process to go through each one." So, hopefully I get one that is fine, but either way I think it will be a good deal. It should be here in a couple days, so I'll let yall know how it is.
P.S. NorCalFor20 is right, no company planning on being in business next week would release anything with an offgassing problem, so I'm not concerned with that.
Grow on all, Spy
