The tent is not a vastly important peice. Your biggest issues are going to be the environment inside the tent. You really don't even need a tent or reflective material but it is great to have. As long as you have a good light and control over the humidity and tempature you will be set. So if you have built somthing almost air tight make sure you have some form of air flow inside like a fan and a way to raise or lower tempature and humidity according to your needs and your space. Make sure you do a test where you turn on all lights in the room the tent is in and make sure it's pitch black inside still when closed up if your using it to flower in. Plants put off loads of humidity in an enclosed space you will probably need a dehumidifier for the tent and other times maybe a humidifier depending how dry your area is. If your inside with your tent heat and cool shouldn't be a problem plants are decently happy at room temp but you might want an inline fan to cycle in fresh air hooked to a carbon filter to remove stench.

You might want to look into double filtering it that case if you want to be very safe just running a carbon filter on both your inlet and outlets makes sure almost 0 smells escape once you replace a carbon filter keep the old one as the inlet if your trying to cut cost. This could be done after a first test run to see if you need another. Watch the genetics you get the stuff I have now even the 8inch carbon filter is not hiding the smell of flowering the best but I live on family property so it's fine in my case. But I do get hit in the face with dank every time I open the door to my house rn.

Yea I have been looking at carbon filter sheets to wrap around extractor also activated carbon caps to go on the end of ducting and ona gels with fans but heard mixture of reviews on them

I definitely haven't gone that far will smell reduction I just have my ac infinity controller set to run my filter speed on 2 24/7 during flower and it picks up in speed if temp or humidity is out of range but I'm spoiled with fancy equipment that me and a few buddies invested in to save money in the long run

Just remember , air has to be able come in so air can be extracted.
.


I'd of just bought a tent and saved the fuckery.

As for smell, don't mess about. Use good quality oversized filters and if you need to double up try adding an inline filter.
Smell is in the air and the air is always going one direction, which is out with the extraction.

OMG yes ∆∆∆∆∆

I tried to figgure out a box or a fabric tent and could not purchase parts to make it less than a cheapo Vivosun. In addition the basic tent with airflow, carbon filter and controller is a great value. To get performance out of them takes work but it is several steps foreward to growing MJ.
Now if you go with DWC the packages are way expensive and the pumps are crap for specs. Next time I would build my own and save the expense of having to change everything about it.
