Grow tent

Hi, so I’m going to get a tent 200cm x 200cm x 200cm, I’m not hugely bothered about it leaking light and I know they are not smell proof but I would prefer one that leaked as little smell as possible. My budget is around £150. Can anyone recommend one please. I’ve looked on amazon but they don’t seem to be many review.
I’d want to grow like 10 plants inside if that’s possible.


Thanks

It's not the tent that dictates how much odor there is, that's the job of an extraction fan with a carbon filter. Tents are designed to have air passively drawn in while exhausting the hot air out.

Also, the light leaks aren't worrisome for light escaping... it's that you don't want light entering the tent in the lights-off period, particularly in flower period.

Alrite totally understood. Would a generic one from amazon be ok to stop light leaking in? Like a 600d myler?
I prefer 1680d mylar tents. I find that the seams around the zippers are designed much better, and leak a lot less light. I have an old 600d tent for veg, and there are pinholes around every zipper. It wasn't as bad when it was new, but it was noticeable.

Really depends on where the tent will be located though. In a closet? In the basement?

It’s located in a room but to be fair I could black out the window to stop any sunlight coming in. Also will have carbon filters etc.
