Apollo Grow Tent Review

[sunny747]

I finally made space for a tent. I bought the Apollo 3 x3 x 6 grow tent from Amazon for just under $100.

The pricing was good for a cheap "name brand" tent... It was delivered in a few short days and I got it with Amazon Prime so no shipping cost.

It took about 20 minutes to put together with two people. Pretty simple.

All in all I like it and I'm excited to step up my game. The materials seem pretty decent.

My only complaint is the zippers are VERY cumbersome and if they don't loosen up with time I can see them breaking in a bout two weeks. It would also be nice if it had a viewing window, but it doesn't

Whether I would recommend this tent or not depends on whether or not the zippers last. Other than that I think it's an ok buy for someone that doesn't want to pay for a Jardin or Gorilla..

Watch for light leaks around the zipper and corner seams after you have it up a couple of months. Mine is okay but I put a space blanket over the front during dark times in flower just to be safe

i don't see why people would buy anything other than a gorilla if they want to grow in a tent. if you want to save money might aswell just frame up a room and enclose it with some mylar and a staple gun...

Just depends where you live... I can't do that where I live. I wish I still had my house

Put candle wax on the zippers. Always sorts em out

I have used the apollo grow tent and wasnt to impressed. It got the job done and I guess that is what is important. I would go another route if I was starting again.

I have 2x MTN tents. Cheap and good quality imo. 600d fabric is the key for the larger tents.

That's genius.. Thx!

Also, no plastic corner connectors, only metal ones. The plastic will get hot and break, causing your lights to fall on your plants and cause carnage.

Yes, thankfully this one doesn't have plastic connectors.. It has lock in metal pieces.. I don't have a ton of weight, but I still may reinforce them a bit.
