Which Grow Tent?

My setup will be a 6 site bubbleponics system, and a 400 watt light. I'm starting to lean toward the Grow Lab tent because it is relatively new to the market, it is made by Home Box, and I would assume this is going to kinda be there new line, and I would hope they fix any issues from the original Home Box. It seems that it is a thicker canvas, and that the zippers are light proof. I going to keep doing some more research first.

I have started myself with a GrowLab 60 and I like the quality for even the cost. It is a small unit only for a few plants but this is my first try and I wanted to see the build quality of the GrowLab. I like the set up you get with all the vents and different ports for electrical and other things. I even rigged mine with a 4" inline exhaust at the top of the unit.

What size light did you put in it?

They've made some improvements with the GrowLabs, including stronger poles that can hold more weight.
If you're going to do 6 plants, I'd recommend a 600w light if you haven't bought one already. That is, if you go with the
GrowLab 120. I've used a 400w and it was difficult to light even 5 plants, and some of the buds were kind of fluffy.
The 600w won't cost you any more than the 400w depending on where you buy it, but has nearly double the lumens.

Keep us updated on what you decide and what you think of the tent when you get it.

Does anyone know if using a grow tent with duck work for ventilation will reduce or contain the ordor of the flowering plants?

Wrong thread. Do a search, there's plenty of info out there on odor control. But to give you the short answer, no.
You will need a carbon filter.

I think I have made up my mind. A GL80 with a HTG digital 400 watt with a Easy Cool 6 reflector.

once I get it and size up the area, I will look into a vortex style fan with a carbon filter. Might look into making a filter, but after seeing the Can-Fan brand filter and fans at my local shop, and seeing the quality, I'm not to sure yet.

I just ordered a grow tent from gyosupplies on ebay.com. Product Code: GYO1002. The tent is cheaply made. The instructions were not clear, there are 8 sections of ploe labeled "B" and they are two different sizes, four of them are 6" longer than the other four. The seller claims the tent is non-toxic PVC. Is there such a thing as non-toxic PVC? My plants were looking good with no problems until I put them in the tent. When I put them in the tent I also upped the light from 250w to 400w and put an air-conditioner inside the tent to cool the area. It is now the third day they have been in the tent. Many leaves are curling upward and some are starting to turn brown. Could this be because of the tent?
