im happy with the secret jardin. But im sure gorilla is a higher quality tent. I bet apollo horticutures on amazon are passable but because of the exact size I needed I went with Jardin.

Hey rocknratm,

I've never used tents before.
So I may be over thinking it ( as I do ).

What is it that your happy with?
Completely light proof?
Is it almost a completely "sealed room" as far as ventilation?
Can you hang 1000 watt lights with cool tubes comfortably as far as weight is conscerned?
Can a Large carbon filter be hung from the ceiling? Cause those things are heavy bloody things.

How bigs your tent buddy?

@Indefinately I can see why your not rushing in to buy, that price tag is outrageous. I cant see the difference in structure, same metal poles, same metal connections. A thicker material and some fancy extensions. My tent is light proof. the 2m x 2m cost me equal to $300 some years ago. .
Here is a link to a bigger one of the same quality http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GrowTent-Pro-Grow-Tent-3m-X-3m-X-2m-/121808312200?hash=item1c5c575788:g:mZ8AAOSwhkRWdELa shipping may cost you a bit.
I'm sure there are similar in your part of the world though.

I know you get what you pay for but jesus $2400... There must be some folks on here tried them

Check out the reviews for gorilla grow tents on YouTube. They look to be the best you can buy and are beefy as fuck. And their smaller tents aren't completely out of reach unless you are flat fucking broke.

Love he window and the thickness of the fabric.
Look like top tents.
The height extension isnt really a feature I require since I don't grow large plants, but I'm sure heaps of people would like it.

There over three times the price of competitors.
I'm always happy to pay for quality, but don't like getting ripped off either.

Ummm I got my 4x4 gorilla grow tent for like 420. Its definitely legit! Very thick and the zippers are heavy duty. Still it's the only tent I've owned and I can't help but wonder if the secret Jardin would have been the better choice at almost half the price... LOL.. Check it out

I need two 3m x 3m
So at $2400 each that's a neat $4800 hundred.

Compared to other brand that can be bought at less than half the price.
It's hard to justify the cost.

I have seen the video on you tube.
They do seem to be the best in the market.
They would have to be considering there cost I guess.

I wonder if there twice as good as there competitors though.

Love your grow and the grow tent.

the 9'x9' is only $1300, or the 10'x20' is $3000, dunno where you got those prices from unless you are using another currency.

Ah so that AU $ not US$ lol big difference
either way I would be looking for prices in the USA or elsewhere and finding out the shipping costs.

Just had a look on amazon, this isn't a gorilla but look
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Green-Qube-GQ300-Grow-Hydroponics/dp/B00NFN1JPE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466340624&sr=8-1&keywords=3m+gorilla+grow+tent

I don't think anyone would make tent poles so strong and sacrifice on other qualities. Guess that's about 960-980Au$ even if you add another 100-150 fro shipping its got to be a good deal

Doubt he minds,

We are not off topic.....
We are shopping for tents and weighing up the pros and cons of different brands.
That's what he was after I believe.

Gotcha I started on Amazon just found better prices on ebay. I got no worries about discreet shipping not sure why I would nothing illegal about a grow tent heck hey sell them at Home Depot and Lowes so I got few stores near me where I can walk in and buy just big savings buying on line from prices I have see so far. Just gettin educated before I open my wallet.

No worries I load the bong and read along I saw no hijack, weed conversation is always on topic no matter where it goes
Hey I dig all the replies, got a education, been checking this while I watched a few online got it narrowed down to a couple.
I might take over a different closet and if so I can go up to a 84" tall so I am waiting to see what final room I come up with in the next day then I will post what I order this next week.
I have been getting excited on my 1st grow of the 2 30 year old bag seeds- I think I got at least one girl.
I have been posting it's growth on This Thread Here hoping someone will confirm I'm right after looking at 50 or so "how to tell what sex you have" web sites lol

I have 3 tents.

A Secret Jardin 3x3x6 tent. My "daily use" tent, for 4 of whatever plants.
Gorilla Grow 2 x2 1/2x 7 tent. Has the extra foot option on it. I grow 3 tall plants in it.
A Generic Ebay 2 x2x4 for rooting and seedlings.
I grow in 3 gallon by 10 inch hydrocorn pots on an ebb and flow watering system.

The Jardin is my favorite. By far. It has a much nicer zipper on it.
It takes 5 zippers to get into the Gorilla grow and the ebay tent is also 5 zippers.
The Jardin is 1 zipper, 1 easy. And a good zipper too(zips easy).

Not sure what you mean to be honest.

I have watched heaps of videos.
None of them show having to use 5 zippers to get into them.

Access and Zipper after about 5 and half minutes in to the video:

If anything, they praise the Gorilla for having the best zippers and zipper placement.

Would love to hear some more feedback Jeepster.
