I'm torn between the DarkRoom DR60 and the GrowLab GL60. Both are the maximum sizes for my closet, although the GL tent appears to be 8" taller, and height (restriction) is not an issue. Both are around the $100 mark and worth not having to build one myself, both have pretty good reviews. The GL tent appears to have exterior flaps that go over the zippers which I would think would help with hiding light. GrowLab GL60 Grow Room Darkroom DR60 I'm leaning towards the GL60... Thanks!
I have the GL and you are right. There are external flaps over the zippers and they definitely help. As a matter of fact, my only complaint with this model is the lack of external flaps over the zipers on the side. There are definitely light leaks there and when I switch to 12/12 I will have to cover with duct tape. It's really not that big a deal though because it's my only complaint and easily fixed on my part. Other than that, love it.
you "heard"? So you don't own a darkroom? Darkroom's are great, you may have 1 or 2 pinhole size light leaks on the stiching which will only let your hps light out and no outside light in. The door is much easier to use then GL since you only have to unzip one zipper. They are just very quality construction. But either will serve its purpose its your preference. but if your gonna grow in an open room with any light go with th DR due to the significantly reduced leaks.
Everyone has their opinions I guess, I have a friend who has a dark room and my GL seems to be well more light proof then his and I run a 400 Watt HPS and he only runs T5's
