Secret Jardin is the least well regarded in the UK, many hydro shops wont even stock them.

So I've been pondering a perfect tent setup:
Big sealed tent (growlab of course) 4x9 minimum
Cap Ebb and Grow Hydro System (2 gal hydro buckets)
RO water system
55 Gal Nute Reservior
55-100 Gal Chilled Water Reservior w/ chiller (crucial cuz it replaces the ac)
med sized Dehumidifier inside the tent
Water cooled boxes that cool the filtered air w/ carbon filter in the tent
HydroGen water cooled Co2 generator
Good environmental controller w/ Co2
Enough hoods and 1k watt lights to soak it all
Some good seed and some good juice and away we go
I didn't mean to hijack the thread, I just think it's something that a lot of tent shoppers are thinking about.
EDIT: Okay, I stole the idea from this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0uRrMvfucY
that sounds like a pretty nice set up. I have my set up side by side and i dont have co2 machines i just use the classic two liter bottle mix and some times use dry ice

Seen as i'm also from the UK, which grow room tents have you seen? and what have they stocked in the stores/warehouses that you've visited?

No, no ... that's OUTSIDE the guidlines of a product rating or review.
Just my opinion.

Is that the reason you joined the forum... to be smart and unhelpful? Seen as i created the thread, and i asked a simple question? a simple helpful answer may have been more appropriate for me and other reader/voters/whatever. Rather than waste your own time and mine? and i'm sure whoever reads your post in the future would agree that it's really just a waste of two posts worth of our screens to be honest. Nevermind eh? I'm sure i can answer MY question/thread and solve my problem without your help. Thanks anyway.No, no ... that's OUTSIDE the guidlines of a product rating or review.

I wish you could hand out negative rep for unhelpful assholes. Anyway, GrowLab seems to be the money for me and no problems. I'm stepping things up and will be throwing dual 600W HPS lights in a GL145 soon. Good construction, will hold up as long as you take care of it but is pretty durable.

man seriously the tent is the easiest thing to build, 20 minutes + 40$=8x8 room, lightproof, perfect vetilation. Its a waste of money to buy one, Id call it a scam.
However since i don;t want to be one of the whiny posters that provide nothing to the thread, GROWLAB seems to be succesful from what I have seen. Hope that helps.
also check out SOG's grow, he had some awsome tents and he only gets top of the line stuff.

just recived my Seceret Jardin DR80 for my veg room. love it !pro's- incredible quality, easy to put up, strong frame, high quality material in and out, good big zippers, velcro roll up windows, 3- 6" vents with draw strings on inside and outside with about 3" sleves on both sides, cord exits with draw strings in and out as well at top and bottom. con's - minor light escape (smaller than pinhole) around zipper, frame rated to only 65lbs. i cant speak for any other tent but i would definatly recomend a Secret Jardin to anyone who wants a quality tent. in my research i found that the growlab had a stronger frame but there were a few complaints about light leaking out the windows and ther material wasn't as good (i read this on a different thread from a guy who had a secret jardin and picked up a growlab to add on to his garden). thats all i know good luck bro.
ps - if you get the growlab let us know what you think

I use the growlab gl120 from homebox. aside from the vent hole locations its the best I've owned. Make my old bud box look like trash, and the price was very reasonable I believe I paid 185 maybe a little less ill look for the reciept, its lightweight but very sturdy, I believe its reated at 120lbs but I wouldn't test it but it holds my exhaust fan, carbon filter, oscilating fan and hood just fine Tthe carbon filter is DIY and thus much lighter) I love the viewing windows it has in it as my tent is sealed from the room for c02 supplement, it allows me to view the porn without disturbing ambient levels, the zippers are off the hook, durable and sturdy very light tight but include a minimum of 2 flaps and a max of 4 to keep light out the are at least one inside and outside (velcro) flaps to cever the zippers insuring no light leaks. Not too sure on how many layers thisck it is biut inside is mylar lined and the outside is like a smoother more rugged almost rhinoskin felling fabric compared to the budbox. In short the bud box shouldn't even make the list in my experience, and while I haven't used a secret jardin I've tried most others and this is the best I've found for my needs, on a side note the jardin is the only other one I would consider, if it weren't for a deeper discount at the homebox dealer (a buddy worked at a corporately sponsored store) I would have purchased the jardin as I believe they have 3-5 more options on hole locations which again is the only thing about this tent that pissed me off, oh wait the connaectors on the corners are plastic- durable- but plastic, I wish they would have avoided that, otherwise bees knees.

I bought the first attached image and thought it is working great I would not recommend it.
It is a DR120W
Overall its a great product, think I got it for 140 or something, but I don't like the port layout and a couple other things..
