Best 5x10 tent for the money?

Next in the saga of "I feel like I can never make up my mind what the fuck I want to build for my new growroom" :lol:...

Considering running a single 5x10 tent instead of two 4x4 or 5x5. I see a lot of no name tents out there in the $350-$550 range, and then I see the Secret Jardin intense model for over $1000. For those of you running a 5x10, can you tell me which one you have, and how you like it? Would you purchase the same one again if you had to do it over?

Thanks!

the hydrofarm lighthouse is a quality tent. But I only got the tent because I moved every year in college

If you plan on living in a single place for a while, you might as well just build a grow room.

Believe me, I wish :( It's tent or nothing for now. Permanent rooms are still a few years out.

The Hydrofarm one looks like it only comes in 4x8, unless I'm missing something. Is yours 4x8 or 5x10?

got a 4x8 and a 4x4 in storage

The 4x8 is actually bigger than that though.
It's exterior dimensions are 55" x 110" x 84".
Thats ~4'7" x 9'2"

Awesome, thanks for that. I *really* need every inch I can get, so I think I am going to keep digging for a true 5x10, but this gives me a solid plan B :)

Once you get that big you can make a nice enclosure cheaper or do you want to be able to move it?

Virtualsunhydroponics.com has a 5x10 $240, 4x8 $190. There no "top of the line" tent but for the price there amazing!!! I have a few 4x4's and a 4x2 and love em.

Edit: free shipping on all orders over $25 I usually get my shit in 5-7 days

google reviews of these tent brands before buying.

Make sure you dont drop 2 or 300 on a crappy product, and then having to buy another tent after one run.

Well, I looked around for a while last night, and read what reviews I could find. Couldn't find any for the 5x10, but the LA Shop tents in general seem to have decent reviews. Only complaint I found was that the cross bars don't support enough weight, but A) I'm hoping it will be better on the bigger tent, and B) if I have to make my own cross bars, I can do that.

So I pulled the trigger on the one from thelashop.com. I'll update once it gets here and I have a chance to set it up :)

So how was the tent? I'm thinking of ordering a light from thelashop.com so any reviews you could give would be great

in the future check out Vidagoods on ebay. I got a tent made with some thick ass fabric and way good price and the zippers are smooth and durable. Only prob is it came with plastic corners even though they advertised metal corners.
