Anyone else here think that gorilla grow tents are outrageously priced? They do have heavier tent material and thicker posts/poles but that's about it! I just don't see that justifying a $400+ price tag. I say get a tent in the $150-200 range with decent tent fabric and good zippers. The IR blocker is kinda cool but a piece of glass blocks IR too lol.

The biggest thing for me was how much weight the roof can hold. Gorilla seem to hold 2x all others

I agree that gorilla tents are built sturdier and have better tent material. I still think that they rape us with the pricing! It's too easy to beef up and/or reinforce any tent to hold more weight for next to nothing in cost for materials. i personally think they should be priced around the high $200 - low $300 but people obviously buy them so the prices won't drop anytime soon

I started out with 2 4x4's with a 600 watt hps in each. My first harvest was around a pound and 1/2. Second cycle, switched to 1000w hps...got about 2 1/2 lbs. 3rd run I swtched to 2 5x5 tents with 1000w hps in each...got a little over 3 lbs running Blue Dream. Now I have a 5x5 and a 9x9 room running perpetual. I trim something every week and I run a LOT of strains because I like variety. During all this time, I have bought a bunch of unneeded equipment, or stuff that just didn't perform, plus there is a definite learning curve, let me tell you! Good luck.

I hear you on the unneeded stuff lol ... I mean I have only been growing for about 4 - 5 years now and not steady, I had to take the last year off due to personal issues and lack of space but when I started my first real run I didn't know much besides what I had been reading for months and months before I was ready to "just do it" .... I built a 3x5x6 can/tent thing out of metal studs and drywall (I'm a drywaller) lol and I started seeds I got out of some quality grown GDP ( I found like 10 seeds out of a half p) I started with a bunch of little cfls then added a 400 mh and they really started to take off ..... I went and bought some AN sense grow ( lol ) and a 600 watt HPS ( which they guy at the local store said "now your ready" lol) .... I was in the store at least once a week buying stuff and talking ... I was pretty happy with my first real grow I ended up with just over a pound of surprisingly dank bud I just wish I had done a better slower job on harvesting and curing but still it was better then most of the other guys shit at work lol they even wanted to buy it but I'm too much of a push over and ended up giving it here and there instead of selling it lol .... but I must say I fell in love with the plant and growing it even more so then I love smoking it .... I still say just pop them babies put them under cfls until you can upgrade and just keep adding things week by week ya know ... it's the most rewarding feeling I've ever felt! ... and I can't spend money on a tent Is much rather build it myself where and when I can idk

I think tents priced fairly are actually a better option than building a room out of studs and drywall. I mean a 5'x5' room after lumber, drywall, mud, door, reflective surfaces, etc. is probably going to cost the same if not more than a tent (Unless you go gorilla!). I've seen perpetual grows using multiple tents and others done in large rooms divided by walls. All depends on your wants/needs

Well it really doesn't cost me anything considering I get all the material from scrap at work lol but yes I can see how that would be just as costly for someone that doesn't have access to it as I do plus it's much easier setting up I guss

As a medical patient in California, you can grow as much as you medically need in 100 sq ft that's a 10x10 room, if you go over that 10x10 you need permits or a count and space bump from a doctor, if medical laws are similar in other states to California you shouldn't have a problem at all, not to mention it very hard to process a warrant for cannabis related busts these day, can search due to smell, power, gardening trash in Cali, just watch that traffic if you selling!!

your county must have looser regulations. 12/6 is the standard limits statewide in CA with a simple recommendation. larger limits require a different dr recommendation and/or county/city approvals

Why not? You went cheap on your president, and now he is basically having a meltdown similar to a cheap tent, just saying. You idiots might want to resock, I'm going to fuck up you pathetic grow threads. Your grows are the equivalent of little girls with easy bake ovens, too cute.

I'm sorry, but I didn't realize cranial gluteus dysplasia was treatable with mmj.
