Ive grown in cheaper generic tents before and they always have cheap plastic corners that bust through and fall or do not have light proof zipper that cause nanners. If you do in fact go cheaper tent brace your corners and tape down your zippers that wont be constantly in use inside and outside with gorilla tape. I had to do this on a cheep 6x6 I got off eaby once. Light leaks ruined a whole crop of mine but I needed to run it again so I just taped the shit out of it.

I think I've ran about 5 different sized tents and the Jardin is the best but the damn zippers always break over time. Zoo
 
I've also bought a cheap one off ebay. Better than no tent, but as has been said, you need to tape all the little pin-holes up.

ok, looking around I've found a dark room wide, not square at all... 120cm long, 60cm wide and 160cm tall. looks pretty good.

I turned that one on its side and ran a very succesful scrog in it, making it 160 x 60 x 120 high.

I've found SJ really good quality , but like all the tents an extra foot of head room would be great. I've recently gone to DIYing my rooms now!

I have a secret jardin dr120.

I dont have one complaint about it. Very well built and sturdy.

i've used them ALL... sunlight's brand, hydrofarm's brand, chinese knockoffs my local grow store got on a container... the secret jardin brand is the only one that keeps the light inside the tent and doesn't let it leak out into the room... if that isn't a big issue for you than they're all more or less the same after that
 
for veg I use a submit I got it for about half the price of a sj and if it makes a few cycles for most people who have extra meds up for donation. Lets not b.s. You can afford to grab another.

I almost feel like I should wear an aluminium space suit and skull cap when I go inside. Not saying that I dont. I just feel like that now...hehehe! Very impressed with the structure, layout, stitching, zips, access points and vents. good solid inner and outter linings sewn together.

Every once in a while I feel like floating upside down in it staring at the little red light just like Space Odyssey. Maybe I will introduce a HAL to the operation.

Err, I have been smoking the SLH last grown in it so excuse the imagination. This SLH makes me dream like you wont believe. Now just to invite Freddy to my dreams and chill the fucker out. Picture above has my bubblegummers from Female Seed Co.

Secret Jardin, it pays to buy their top of the line models with bigger holes. I have 3 and they have never let me down.

I'm using the "china" brand..so far have 2 4x4 and a 4x8 with another 4x8 on the way...cost about half as much as the "big names" and so far have not let me down. Obviously the big name ones are better, though.

Why are they better,can you PLEASE show a picture of the 4x4's and the 4x8..I am looking to buy these exact sizes.Please and thank you.Do they leak lighth?

what about lighthouse hydro tents they seem cheap made in the usa mylar non toxic and very durable the 4 x 4 is a very decent tent i can say that the 4 x 4 was only 99 bucks

These are the Gotham ones,do you have one?..If you do can you post a picture,do they leak lighth?

i have a SJ and love it but found this tent while looking at LED's on Gotham Hydro web site.

their tent looks like a better version of the SJ but much cheaper on price.

So YOU say you got one?/nice,pelase post a picture,grow log?..do you recommend them,do they leak lighth.thank you if you anser man,im looking to buy asap:tiphat:
