I got a virtual sun 4x4 a few months ago and love it. So far so good. Was a lot cheaper then some of the more well known companies. I got to agree with squidbilly though, always spend the extra. Spend good money once instead of bad money twice.

Hi everyone,

Looking to buy a grow tent but couldn't find much info on the forums. Thought it might be useful to start a thread on this topic for anyone willing to write down or upload whatever comes to mind that might help new buyers. Topics can include;

- Brand manufacturers.
- What to look out for i.e. zip, light penetration, thickness etc.
- What size for your purpose, is your tent too big or too small.
- Reflection %, Mylar or other.
- How many extraction points needed.
- Price comparisons & customer service.
- Weight & durability.
- Ease of assembly & dismantling.
- Why you love or hate your tent.
- Anything else you can think of.

Thanks

i have a secret jardin 24"X24"X65" ds60 is the model. I haven't had any plants in it yet, but i have don't a ton of testing. It can effectively keep 80 degree temps about a foot under the light with a 4" vortex fan ducted to the 400w HPS hood (not a sealed hood just one duct) with passive air intake that is reasonably cold ~70degrees through both intakes.

Cool...a lot of people seem happy with Secret Jardin actually & I hope you have many good years with it. Do you think its thick enough? Deusracing will tell you to be really careful not to rip the cover or mylar though...so be gentle lol. How many plants are you hoping to grow in that space, 2/3 or sog? good luck

mine seems very durable. I am not at all worried about ripping it, seems to be made of high quality fiber. The zippers are strong as well.

Spend the money on a better tent, think of how long you will be using it, if not long, build it out of cheap 2x4s and plywood, flat white paint. If your going to be around a while the tents are worth it. I have a secret jardin ds150. Good value, fairly strong, but I needed to reinforce mine a little bit with two lights and a 25# filter, which fell once, and was my fault, scared the shit out of me, good thing they still work with a huge dent in them :). Im happy with secret jardin but if I ever went with a larger tent I would go gorrilla tents. I would never try hanging from my secret jardin, but they are loads better than those cheap ass tents on ebay and amazon

Oh I forgot to add, my secret jardin tent has some pinhole lightleaks from the fabric being folded and creased in one area, also the seams leak light slightly but is blocked by the poles, no zipper light leaks, and the very few pin holes are easy to fix.

if getting a bigger tent i actually recommend have many smaller tents insted. Makes it a lot easier to work. If you however want the big tent, then go for the rectangular ones. big square tents can be a bitch when it comes to spreading light in a good manner.

anyone know if LED coverage 120x120cm is wasted in a tent 100x100cm? or would the extra light reflected off the mylar be magically absorbed by the plants :clap:?

Secret Jardin tents, any good?

i see no reason for not being able to use more ligts as long as you can cope with the heat ? its also a bit strain dependent how strong light intensities plants can take.
