So I understand that some of the prebuilt grow tents release toxic gases as the plastic warms up from the heat buildup from HID lighting, Is there particular brands that have this problem. Can anyone point me in the direction to a tent company that does not use this particular material or have this problem?
 
Get a tent off Htgsupply.com man i got 2 and never had any problems. mylar lined, not toxic PVC. I'd never grow in a white walled tent when they have mylar covered ones.
 
Always stick with 100% mylar tents with non toxic pvc. Those white lined tents are the ones that release toxic gases. I got mine off ebay. It's 100% mylar and haven't ever had any issues.
 
gorilla grow is the shit. Just set up one of mine last night and I might take this shit camping!! The walls a so f'n thick and its bad ass... I was going to go with secret jardin but last minute I stumbled upon the gorilla grow and so happy I didnt pull the trigger before then. Check it out

I think a lot of these things are crap...
Remember when someone came out saying that Teflon coating shouldn't be used on pots and pans because when it gets burned it had been found to release some cancer causing chemical...what they didn't mention is that those toxins are released at 4300 degrees fahrenheit...which is like walking on the sun...so as long as you are using it to coat a frying pan, and not line the space shuttles you should be alright...ya know...
I am not saying that the thing with the tents is the same as the thing with teflon...but I am saying it might be worth giving it a look...I have had 2 of the cheapest tents amazon has to offer and am still alive and my plants are healthy...so I feel as though I am not slowly being poisoned, but would I actually know if I was?
