How many hours a day is it running?
Best Site to buy a new tent setup?

The flaking started on everyone of them at the stitching holes for the zipper. It's possible the uv was able to penetrate between the layers and release the adhesive.
Kinda makes me wonder what kind of off gassing that causes.

Haven't run the solar cure yet.
As far as the clw, run those 30 min at peak of day during flowering after bud set.
During ripening run 30min off 1hr, then 30min for a total of 1 hr.
Anything more and the leaves will burn bad

Interesting. I just added a couple UVA bars to my closet last night. UVA isn't as harsh though.
But that's crazy if an hour of UVB does that kinda damage.

Nothing to be proud of I just don't see how spending more for a tent I stick in the corner of my garage that I'm not going to move is going to benefit me in any way. Most people set their tents up and leave them. Mine does what I need it to and that's plenty of game for me.

Distance from the canopy and amount of uv could have something to do with it. I have the lights fairly close and have 3 in a 4x4. Trying more coverage and shorter duration

If the Gorillas have a problem with UVB, I'm sure the cheaper tents definitely do. But that's just a guess.

Beats me. I do know uv will turn duct tape to dust after awhile so maybe the culprit

Ya, it also destroys bungee cords. So I'm guessing UVB could totally have something to do with it.

I will be running UVA-30 in my Gorilla when I flip to flower on this grow. So here's to seeing if it hurts my tent.

Hey I wouldn't worry about it too much. The uva isn't as harsh. Wasn't trying to knock on gorilla just giving feedback.
I just acquired a marshydro tent with a light purchase so will be watching if it ever gets used.

All is good... I was just shocked. Really shocked to hear of a issue like yours with Gorilla tents. Other than a couple of light leaks where all the zippers meet mines been flawless. I see all the pure China/Amazon tents out by the curb on trash day here and wonder why so many people buy them. It's like they buy them to throw away.

This thread has really got me to thinking. As the Wing nest is going to be a bit more complete in the next few weeks,,, which will allow me to move some stuff out of my office. I may just go ahead and buy one of the AC Infinity 4' x 4' x 80" kits. $899 ain't bad for what you get in one of those kits. I've been real impressed with the T6 exhaust fan I got from AC Infinity. As a 4' x 4' tent kit, the only thing I see really lacking any is the light. And at 400 watts its not bad. But I can put my dual 260 rspec w/UVA-30 in there and be great! And the supplied 400 watt light would be very good in my current 3' x 3' gorilla. Then move the supplied 6" lite series exhaust fan to the 3' tent and put its T6 fan on top of the 4' tent with the 69 controller. Hell might even get a few more of there soon to be released 6" circ fans and another 69 control for the 3' tent. And of course another humidifier and Inkbird control. Have to see if this can play out. Will have plenty of room in the Wing nest for some over flow out of my office...
