Secret Jardin DR II Pro120...think i got ripped off

[FootClan]

I always enjoy your posts, FootClan; informative, straightforward, and logical. I just purchased a DR II pro 120, and I effin' love it. Sure, I have money to burn, but I don't have time to burn - a ready made tent was superb for my lifestyle. My package was complete and without flaws - it has a black floor mat, apparently because people complained about the Mylar bottoms cracking and flaking with long term use and water exposure. All of the other specs match mine as well. I paid full price from a hydro shop - you did not get ripped off. Feel good about your purchase (sorry for the shipping tear issues).

well im glad someone like my posts....lol seems im always gettin hated on

If they're willing to send me another one while I keep this one im going to get a refund. Because it is a lot of money to get a flawed product.

The black floor mat was just something I noticed while I was contacting the seller about the tear that the listing picture had a metallic floor and mine was black. I then youtubed a video and saw they had a metallic floor also and 3 vents instead of 2. So made me feel conflicted on which model I got, so I came here for answers from other owners.

The very first tent i bought was a secret jardin and i sent it back because i wasnt happy with it at all and i bought a hydrohut and i will say the hydrohut is better contructed. i also have a growlab which is another great tent. iam certainly not biased towards hydrohut, i just think their tent is better overall if your gonna pay the money.

having reflection on the bottom isnt really what you want....I cant remember where i read this but i read an article discussing reflection on a grow room floor and the end result if i remember correctly was you DONT want it....something about how the leafs are ment to take the light in from the top side surface of the leaf not the underside of it....... Also light decreases expentionaly so by the time it gets to your floor then reflects back up theres so much lost that dosent make much a diff anyways......

iam not positive, but i think you would want to have as much reflectivity as possible.

Even if the article was wrong about light not being absorbed through the bottom of the leaves or it being unhealthy for the plant , it dosent change the fact that light decreases expentionally and once the canopy thickins out(covering any unused space allowing light to reach floor) it plays no real factor. its bout the last thing on the list of things id worry about thats all im saying... Also when you think about it your floor is mostly covered with the Bottoms of your pots.....

I have a 4x4 and a 4x8 grow tent..... When i put all 9 3 gallon empty pots on the floor of my 4x4 tent the bottom of the pots cover 90 percent of the floor alone....Then you add the plant and then you add a canopy theres no light getting to the floor anyways....... its NOT a factor that anyone should be even wasting time thinking about when theres so many things the average grower is doing wrong that could use there attention otherwise.......

It makes pretty simple sense i think the way ive explained it above ....

ya you got a point with the pots and trays covering the tent anyways, like your tent, mine is about 90 percent cover on the floor too. i see your point. but that shiny stuff sure is easy to clean

Hi to all. Made it through the thread and appreciate the info. I am about to start my first ever grow, and after doing extensive research, bought a DR 90 T and will be using the latest Hans LED panels. Thanks firsttime, and if you are still around, maybe you can update how the tent worked for you. Mine came with the black "flooring", which I put in, then took out, and now I will put back in. As the lights are LED, I will not be running any ducts or fans and worry that the unused ducts will present a light leak issue. Did you ultimately have any light leak issues ? One of the last things that I will be doing prior to starting is try to cover them with ?black mylar/plastic and tape ?? Thanks, GYF

fuck tents build your own space with wood , much cheaper and less obvious .

And then you sell them an equally worthless 90$ pH pen when they are actually organic soil growers who shouldnt be worrying about that at all.

Not everybody is a cheap asshole though.

I am. lol
