Well, my nylon zipper finally failed on my old tent. Any thoughts on if it can be fixed, jury rigged, mickey moused?

Im not planning on buying a new tent just for the sake of a zipper. Grown a lot of weed in this old tent.

ps, I grow almost exclusively autos so light leaks aren't an issue.

Thanks for showing that. I am going to stock that part. It is only matter of time on these Vivosun tents

My vivosuns running strong after a year. I think theyre alright. What I like is the tents are actual size. Yea my 3x3 wobbles but my spider farmer I got just for more sturdiness is an inch short all around.

If it were a flower tent Id be pissed and still am because its going to be short an inch. Every inch really matters and thats just not cool. I rely on each inch I planned for.

Oh Im wrong, the 5x2 is an inch and half short on the 5ft. It says 60”x 32” the 32 is true but not the 60. Their 3x3 is on the dot and this hydro crunch I bought is too. I do 2.5x2.5, 2.5x5 and 3x3.

The 2.5x5 is hard to find as is the 2.5x2.5. Been realizing they arent the best, 3x3 is the best. Youd think two plants in 2.5x5 is good but it taps out in rh fast. One plant in 2.5x2.5 might be ok.
