I have a 4x5 Mars Hydro tent with a divider. Even without the partition in place it's a useful size.

No divider. I'm planning on doing everything in the small cabinet and using the tent mainly for flowering. AC Infinity seems to be the best bang for the buck 2000D canvas, the gorilla tent is 1680D and twice the price.

Ahhhh! So the tent is an addition, not the only space you're gonna have!

I went with the cheapest options for my tents. I assume the zippers are usually the first and only thing to fail on a tent. Other than zippers, I can't figure out why I would want a thicker material. Do you have a reason?

Durability. For whatever reason, I've had to take down and reassemble my tent several times. Thinner material is more likely to rip or give way at the seams and provides greater support to the zippers. Rubbing your zippers with a candle helps lubricate them so they operate more smoothly, causing less strain.

That's fair! Once I am more years in, I may start to appreciate the higher cost products a bit more. Right now, the 60 buck tent I have would need to become unusable 3 times more often in the same number of years before it was worth buying the more costly one. And so far it's almost 3 years old and works fine after 3 assemblies.

Nice tip with the wax, sounds like something my mom would have told me to do if I brought it up, hah.

What @shnkrmn said lol. My first tent was a cheapo secret jardin. I think I paid around $100 for it. Pinhole light leaks everywhere at the seams and the zipper started to separate from the canvas in less than a year.

And the pinholes cause smell to get out, is that why they're bad? One of my tents does have a few here and there.

Had my Secret Jardin for 5 years and not one problem. Would definitely get another one too. I like it 1000 times better then the vevosun's I got for cheap extras.

If you're running negative pressure odor shouldn't escape but light leaks can cause hermaphroditism.

I think people look for anything to blame

 

[J. Rocket]

if your worried cover the holes from the outside with a little piece of foil tape.
everyones got some of that around, right?

Maybe I'm ham fisted. I'm surprised they used Jardin for the US market... should have called it freedom tent or something like that.

Not in my experience. It would have to be a really big pinhole, I think.

Pretty sure they've been around for a bit. I remember the name from the late 90's

I remember Y2K very clearly. My parents took me to a NYE party... they had a shrimp boat! An actual canoe size boat full of ice and shrimp cocktail. I ate way too much, got sick and mom had to take me home before midnight. Self control is not part of a nine year old's vocabulary.

I'm not saying what I did that night......but I sure had a lot of fun
