So I found 2 grow tents on ebay for about the same price. One is larger than the other but that doesn't matter, I want the best quality one.

(1)This one claims it is 100% lightproof.

(2)This one claims that it has some minor light leaks and that no tent is 100% lightproof.

Which one was built better and is it possible for the one above (tent 2) to be 100% lightproof?

No tent is 100% light proof. and both those tents are crap. Go with a hydrohut, Grow lab or secret jardin if your going to buy a tent.

Thank you for a real answer. I think I may just get either a grow lab or secret jardin. I still like the 2nd one I listed though because I can attach a second one to make it larger if I decide to expand after a while, but if it really is crap quality then it isn't worth it.

when you do test for light leaks just find them and use some hvac ducting tape, its silver and metallic it will help greatly in making it light proof as much as possible.

I'm a fan of Grow Lab. No tent is 100% lightproof, but the amount of light that gets in the Grow Lab's are smaller then pin pricks. It really doesnt let light in, as much as it lets you see out into the light

If the light leaks are that small then couldn't I just use duct tape to cover them?
