Photoperiod What tent are you using?

[PapaEmeritus]

Hey friends! Been thinking about branching out (see what I did there?) into photoperiod growing sometime in the near future, but before I do I'll also be upgrading/buying a second tent.

I know that light leaks are a no-no when it comes to photos and I've noticed that my tent has a few - most obvious being a few sections of the zippers, and a few pinholes here and there. I know that tape can fix the pinholes, and it's not a super expensive tent (2.5x2.5 Growlab brand) to begin with.

I was looking at tents on Ebay and kept seeing Gorilla brand tents for considerably more than most of the other offerings. They do indeed look to be higher quality, but before I spend that kind of money I wanted to ask around and see what brands others were using just to get an idea of what I should be looking at.

Any & all recommendations and advice are greatly appreciated!

4X4 apollo, 1 pin hole, both sides of zippers are backed, so no leaks there. 105$ US shipped.

Quality seems decent, and I'm easy on stuff, so not worried.

Hi
I use a Secret Jarden 1,2 x 1,2 x 2 meter tent. It's the second one I bought the first one was smaller and I give it to a friend he use it now for 3 years and I got the small one 4 years before. It's a good quality and easy and fast to setup. My current one I use for 4 years and I change my home 3 times without any damages. They give you a good bag for the tent.

I don't know what I have payed but it was in the middle of the price range as I know right.

Have a nice day

One other point, METAL CORNERS! Have seen a horror story or two about plastic corners cracking and letting the tent colapse, and the light sitting on the plants... now that's a party foul.

Hi Arthur
The secret Jarden got plastic corners but in a good quality. You are right I heard also from bad plastic quality.
