Picking out the right grow tent for flowering.

Ok so after deciding not to build my own and rather buy one for keeping in mind of future growing. I have looked around ebay and several other sites in regards to buying a grow tent.

So much hype about toxic materials and mylar inner walls.. Well I found one at a very good price, my question is anyone know if it be good?

I just need something for flowering, I am only looking to flower anywhere from 3-6 plants. I have my one grow area as a veg room along with my autos, then I need a sep spot for my flowering chamber.

If this is good I am guessing I can get away using some cfl side lights and a 600 w hps cooltube system.

Anyone think I can get one cheaper else where, and do you think this tent be big enough?

bump! I need to now if this tent would be good for flowering plants and what kind of room I am looking at if I decide to grow pure sativa, pure indica, hybrid, auto, sog how many plants can I get in max.

Can anyone give me there input please: I provide a format if it comes out right when I post it:

Pure Sativa Max. plants:
Pure Indica Max. plants:
Hybrid Max. plants:
Autoflowering Max. plants:

I would also like to know if this tent be any issues or if it is not recommended... just need to know before i spend money that I really dont have....

It only has 4" vent holes and only three of them. That would be a problem for me.

I doubt if it's truly light tight either. Those ventilation windows does usually block light. So, you'll need to keep the tent in a dark room during lights out.

Yea it only has 3 of them.. and I am not sure if i like the 4 inch .. but it is dam cheap though..

I am not worried about the light block too much, as i have a light trap in my grow room , and window covered, and my other grow area is concealed .

I pretty much did was bought some panda fillm, cheap black painters plastic, and draped the panda film around my portable a/c and it is about 4 feet from the closet.. To get a better idea , look at my sig under Soil grow.. dwc as well. but i think soil grow has pics of op room..


I just need a grow tent for flowering purpose where i can stick a 600 w hps and some side lights.

I already got mad lights in my closet 1 400 w hps.. t5 8 x 54 w, and like 4 23 w and 1 42 watt fluro... some good lighting.. I have so much as I didnt want to fuss with moving the lights so much, so i made sure there was plenty to go around...
