Anyone have experience with Gorilla Grow Tents?

Sup blades,

I just moved into a bigger house and I'm ready to move into the big leagues Ok, maybe not THE big leagues, lol, but something bigger than a grow box. I'm looking to buy a 4' x 4' or 5' x 5' tent for my spare bedroom. I don't have much experience with tents, so I want to make sure I get something that doesn't suck. I've been doing some research and, from what I've read, the secret jardin and grow lab tents are the top-quality brands.

I came across a tent called the 'gorilla grow tent' in high times mag that won grow tent of the year. Looks like it was unveiled just recently at the max yield expo so I haven't been able to find much info on them in the way of user reviews. It looks to be taller and thicker than any tent out there. Good features, but I don't want to pull the trigger on a tent until I know I'm buying something legit. Has anyone had any experience with them or can you recommend a high quality tent?

Don't have a huge experience with tents, but I CAN tell you that you shouldn't worry about what tent won tent of the year in High Times. That magazine gives awards and such to people who pay them sponsorship money. I would go read some reviews that don;t come from such a hugely popular magazine

I would assume you've looked into it already, but if you have a little bit of free time building your own tent would save a ton of bucks. Go to Home Depot, but some PVC and fittings, some PVC cutters and some good tape. Go online and but some black and white poly (panda film) and a tent zipper, and wah lah. Your very own grow tent exactly the size you want it for under $100.
Then you can spend the rest of your money on a 600w HPS and a vortex exhaust system.

If you must purchase one though, just google reviews for the tent your looking at. If possible get one with a metal frame (or the sturdiest tent you can find).

Metal frame should be a must IMO, unless you can mount the heavier items to a stud in your ceiling.

Building a room instead of using a tent isn't a shit idea at all. I had the extra time, ability and tools to build it but the simplicity that a tent offered was unbeatable for me. I may be lazier then you OP though.

Thanks for the info, I hadn't really considered building my own tent. I'll have to search for some DIY guides to see what's involved. I'm pretty handy but my time is limited.

I definitely want to go with a metal frame, be it a DIY project or a pre-fab tent. I don't want to risk a fire from a collapsed tent. Better safe than sorry IMO.

What would be the best home-made solution for a metal frame? I suppose I could just get some metal pipes and have them cut / threaded at my local hardware store.

I thought it was kind of funny how a brand new company could get tent of the year if they just debuted. The sponsorship thing makes sense. There tent does seem to be of really high quality, I'm kind of tempted to get one and see if it's legit or not. I need to find out what the return policy is on this thing.
