I have 4x8 vivosun and so far it’s been great.

Example of quality vs crap. There is a 4 x 8 tent on craigslist currently for $30 bucks. If that tent was a Gorilla it wouldn't be on for anything less than $200 dollars maybe more if they took care of it! You get what you pay for and if you decide growing isn't for you you can get good money back out of it. My two cents. Proud owner of a Gorilla 4 x 4 tent purchased used from a fellow grower.

A bloom room and a green room are the best value for money tents I've had, both have side doors and multiple vents, the bloom room also has a couple of windows it imo the best thought out, the frame isn't at heavy as the green room but well suffice for a 6" fan and filter.

Alright you guys, I bought the gorilla grow tent. 4x4 for 313 after coupons. Thanks everybody for you guys opinion.

Gorilla isn't built like it used to be anymore.

You say this right after I order it lol

I do have the shorty. Personally I probably wouldn't buy another one.

Well appreciate your honesty, just bought the original. Worst comes to worse I can return it. What kinda lighting you running?

Meijiu 650 A8. Light does hurt my eyes even bouncing off the ground of the tent so it might be able to contain less bright lights a little better. Isnt letting off massive beams of leaks but I can see some light from certain angles.

Where you being aggressive with it? Or did it get caught or what caused it?

I try to be very careful honestly because I was worried it could happen. I really depends on if you get one that was made well.

Osito said:

Yeah man I was looking at those vivos, 125 for a 4x4 comparded to 313 for a gorilla.... would just depend how that vivo holds up.

Mine has held up just fine. If I was to buy another tent I'd buy another Vivosun because they are less than half the price of other previously named brands. It's not that I can't afford to pay more. It's just that I don't believe in paying more than you need to for the same end result. I'll keep as much of my money in MY bank account. I'm just growing weed. No need to spend a bunch of money unnecessarily to accomplish that. It's a simple task.

Mars Hydro! theyre quite similar to gorilla grow, but a bit of a knock off. They have a copy cap "1680D diamond reflective pattern", so similar thickness and design, but half the price. Im a huge fan of mine.

Mars Hydro 48

Mars Hydro grow tents use 1680D thick canvas, heavy-duty steel poles, and SBS zippers, creating a non-toxic human work environment while using high-quality materials and locking all light in. Easy observation view window, removable floor tray, and a tool bag to help grow the plants indoors more...

What diameter is the frame bars approx l, it's obviously a sturdy with someone hanging off it lol, the frame diameter is a big deal imo, I've had tents that near buckle with a good fan and filter so a sturdy frame is a must.

Honestly I just got vivisun 24x36x53 it's worked. I already want a taller one I would recommend a 4x4x6 ft. Should have issues with height of soil or hydro I've come to find out with my light and height of hydro I'm losing close to 2 feet of grow space.

Ive been using my vivosun for 6 years....never had a problem with the zipper or light leaks nor do I see a problem developing

I have 2 vivosun's and a Gorilla shorty and they all leak light. On the Gorilla its on seams which is more of an issue vivosun you can pop pin holes in just folding it slightly wrong but they are easy to patch.

I have a Vivosun 3x2, and I really like it. But have some issues with the zipper and a huge seam on an edge that is around 2 ft of light leaks. They gave me a partial refund, and I bought some blackout curtains to hang in my closet. I don't want any light leaks messing with my ladies.

I've found pin hole leaks with a past tent, it appeared to be the diamond mylar that was the problem?
They might not matter but I covered them with black silicone just in case, if I had any light leaks I'd do it again.
