Ok there are probably many threads like this but the search function on this site blows. I'm looking to get http://cgi.ebay.com/HYDROPONICS-GROW-TENT-48-X-24-X-60-GROW-BOX-CABINET_W0QQitemZ170336039689QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item27a8d1b309&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:15|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50

Its the perfect size I'm looking for but I've read many cases of pvc outgassing causing plants do die. I think it was only for the hydrohuts but I'm just trying to make sure I'm not going to spend the money for a death box. Any help is apprecieted plus rep.

The guys at my local grow shop straight up told me not to buy it when i asked them about it. they had 2 green pepper plants and 1 tomatoes growing in one of those exact tents and they were the most fucked up looking plants ive ever seen, they had definetley been poisoned. Although they say they've "fixed" the problem (bullshit), you can make a way better one with 2x4's and panda film. for about 1/4 of the price. and to your exact specs.

Well from what I've read tents with Utilize Thermal Film. don't outgas it was the old pvc lined tents. It looks to me like all the new tents are now using Thermal Film for their interior.

When I say EXACT same tent. I mean I bought it on ebay from the EXACT same seller as the link you posted. And its the EXACT same size too. I ordered it 5 weeks ago, and have been using it for 4 weeks. I set it up and took temp readings for 2 days (with the HPS on ) before i put my plants in it. If you are still worried about the off-gassing all you have to do is set the tent up and let it air out for a few days before you put your plants in it. Buy your tent from a reputable seller and your wont have to worry about it. Good luck. :peace:
