Seems like all the reviews I find are from the people that market the products and not much from the people that actually use them. As I remember the Gorilla grow tents were or are the industry gold standard. I know this is a subjective opinion but there must be an end all be all tent out there somewhere.

Gorilla is by far the best if you want to save money build a room out of wood. I haven't tried every company but I have about 3 different random brands that are all shit the best of the shitty tents is secret Jardin but it's still shit I would never buy one again.

I'm sold on the Gorilla but am aware that there are new products all the time but have yet to find any to rival the Gorilla. Being that it is a small tent price is not a factor.

Just go gorilla they are so much stronger in every way even the gorilla lite line is significantly better than all the other tents I've seen and the height extension is great even if you don't need your plants to be that tall it helps with heat so have the extra headroom

Gorilla is the best. If you got the money. Use them.

I don’t. Never have. But I’ve used random tents all the time and never had issues. Back 10 years ago I had a no name brand that held up as well.

go on Amazon and buy a cheap $80 tent. i'm currently using the cheapest one in a smaller grow and it works perfectly.
I bought a 4X4 Ohuhu brand. $80. Zero problems and I use the zippers daily. The 6" outlets are EXACTLY 6" so getting rigid ducting through required slitting it. Covered the cut with duct tape. 3 crops and not a problem.

I have a few super cheap 2x2 tents I use for clone machines/pollen chucking/seedlings and starts. Been using them for a few years. They work well if you are gentle with them.

Tents are usually rated in thickness of material. The cheap tents are under 600D the decent tents are 600 and the great tents are 1680. You can get good 1680 tents that are not gorilla if you want better zippers and something more resistant to tearing.

If you are not moving it around and are gentle with it the thinner material might work.

I have only ripped them while moving them in and out of really tight spots (zero clearance). A roll of gorilla tape fixes them. And it sticks WAY better than ducky.

I ripped a corner of a tent trying to build one. Cause I couldn’t get the tarp over the frame. Was a bottom corner. Use it as my veg tent and the drip tray covers the top nicely haha. But that was my own fault. The zippers are great on mine.

You should take a look at Homebox tents out of Germany; I have two the Evolution Q120 and the Ambient R240+. They are extremely well built with Panda film like interiors, heavy duty zippers, double lined floors, oversized poles, ports every which way and just a quality feel. Definitely a bit on the pricey side of things (shipping) but I love this hobby and pretty much always buy the best equipment I can find. If you are interested I can send you the contact info for the shop I dealt with in Berlin.

Never reef on your zippers and they will be fine. Always pull the door tight when you zip up.

I also have a few ohuhu tents. I use them daily. I've had the one 2 years no problems.

I have a friend that has a gorilla 4x4 he's had for quite some time. No idea how old it is. When I was gonna order mine he said; Unless you plan on riding out a rainstorm in it you don't need a gorilla.
We both do a lot of tent camping is the reason he used that reference.
