I think they are over priced tat personally, they do the job - with a bit of extra work to light proof them - but thats it, my £40 wooden room with plastic sheeting and velcro doors i made at my last house was way better. spliff.gif

e2a: ive only used homebox btw, yours looks different, secret jardin?, are those lightproof out of the box?

s still dont think id pay the prices tbh.

Well Tyler that home made job won't be as easy to take down and put back up if you ever need to. Take it from someone who spent £££ and many hours on his home made plastic and wood room, when you have to rip them down it's a heart breaker.

Only thing I don' like about grow tents is you can't make em bigger and the extract holes are always on the wrong side.

yeah man, i love my tent

Bud box - heavy duty zips.

My Arse.... 2 friends and i have all ripped zips off ours
I cant wait to rip mine down and d.i.y a grow room. I cant knock the results though, 1.33gpw last crop.

Its the zips that are crap and i was gentle with them cause i knew they were weak.

Well, I must say you've certainly turned my eye towards a grow tent -
especially thecrystalcatcher's - that's well sweet.

It's nice to see other peoples work - thanks for the pic's!

bud box 1m2 x 2m tall handy as feck. the zip went but i just got some good velcro and put it on the flap job done.
PS I was stoned when i ripped the zip my fault oops

I still have my HydroGarden 2mx2mx2m, which is excellent. The zips are good, and the price of the tent was very reasonable (£180, new from ebay). I had to modify it for 2 600w air-cooled supernovas, I cut 6" holes at head level for the ducting to pass right through the tent and ensure heat levels stay in range for flowering plants. And although not strictly necessary, I fully light-proofed it from any of the tiniest pinprick holes in the zips and seams. Ffantastic bit of kit. All I need now is to get my lights, fans, hydro tables, nutes, pumps, timers, etc. back off the police...

Lovely looking tent matey, I grow a small amount in a DR60 which i've had for the best part of 3 years and it is still as good as new. Would seem the dark room tents are well built. Like anything if you look after it then it will last cool.gif

Ive been using a budbox large for my currant grow and I cant say ive had any problems.

Infact its been great. I use an rvk100+ passive for intake and a ruck150 to extract. It takes my 4 pot wilma with ease. Ive also got 5 fans running in it too for added air circulation.

The zips are a little weak for the job. But so far nothing has broken or not worked the way it should.

It went from delivery to fully built in under 15 mins and i expect it to take the same time to take down.

And although its not as ideal as a custom hand made grow room. It does do its job well and is great for someone who cant dedicate the space for a full-time growroom. Or for someone like myself that does not have the time or the skills too build their own
