Helios 48" x 24" x 60" Grow Tent – Indoor Mylar Hydroponic Plant Growing Room

When I unpacked this tent and saw the quality, I found myself filled with memories of a backpacking trip years ago. I was high in the Olympic Mountains at a designated camping area and a terrible storm came up during the night. I heard screams all around me. The next morning I looked outside and saw that my tent was the only one standing. Every other tent in the camping area was torn apart. I had spent a lot of money on that tent. I wanted a good one to see me through emergency situations. I went for a day hike. When I returned my tent was missing. Someone had stolen it. They stole my pack and sleeping bag as well. I had a long 12 mile hike to my car that evening. I learned a lot about humans that day. This grow tent is of the same quality as my backpacking tent. The zipper is heavy duty, the material is heavy. The quality is superior in every way. However the price is very inexpensive for the quality, compared to other grow tents I have seen. I have bought four so far. Two I bought for friends after they saw mine and wanted their own. My only complaint is that they work too well. Plants love them! My next one will be by the same manufacturer but larger. I might add that when my 89 year old Mom saw it, she slapped her cane against it and announced that this grow tent was to be used for growing fresh salad greens this coming winter. It seems that everyone I have shown it to wants one, even my Mom.

You can't beat the price. The tent is perfect and better than I thought it'd be for about $90. My biggest complaint is the smell. I set it outside in the sun to off gas. The tent smelled like a nasty chemical. Now the smell is gone. The instructions were for a different tent. That didn't matter because its super easy to put together. 1st open up tent completely with the floor of the tent open on ground. Next Assemble bottom half of frame inside of the tent floor. Then assemble top half of frame and put on top of bottom half completing the frame. Start at the one end with the tent and wrap it up and around. Takes maybe 10 minutes.

Great tent, priced right. But do yourself a favor. Don't even look at the directions. Unzip the thing all the way (one big solid zipper that opens door from top curving down just like in the picture, continuing around the bottom to the back right corner.) Now lay the bottom side down and find the poles that fit the lengths and lay out in the bottom tray, not the insert tray, that goes in last. Now find the four pieces for the corners (they are the pieces that the top half of the frame will slide onto but doesn't lock, just slides in from the top.) Once you connect the bottom frame together, go ahead and slide the o other four corners that slide in to raise the height. Now go to the corner where the zipper ends and attach the top corners together and start raising the tent over the first corner making your way attaching the poles from inside the tent to the other end and zip her all up. Now zip tie the bottom removable tray in the corners where the holes are.

I like the size and the quality of the material on this tent, and there are many. many options for ventilation and cords / hardware. It holds heat and moisture really well. A couple of minor issues: the stitching leaves some gaps for light to get through, and there are some plants that need total darkness, but the light that comes through is very little. Also, I wish the mesh on the screens was finer. The holes in the screens are large enough for gnats and hair to get through. It's really nice to have the flaps to open and close the screens. I'd like an option to buy screens for the top and side holes, too.

There was a problem with assembling the grow room, the instructions were for a different item, the picture shown here is correct but the instructions show a model with no floor & a double door. The parts also were a little different, it showed two braces on top but there is only one long & one short in the set. I put the short one under the long one to better brace the long one. Anyhow, I did figure out how to assemble it & the result is a nice, well built, grow tent.

This tent is really bad.. don’t waste your money spend the extra $20 on a different one. Very cheap poor quality very bad stitching and zipper, light leaks through both the stitchings and right through the whole zipper all the way around. On top of that there are pin holes everywhere. Another MAJOR flaw is that the long hanging bar will not seat down across onto the other bars over the bars because of how the smaller cross hanging bars were built they do not allow it to AT ALL. I have 3 tents I know what I’m doing it’s not me it’s the tent construction. It’s a piece of crap I PROMISE. I own oppolite and vivosuns tents as well and they are about $20 more and FAR BETTER!

If you need to grow your plants indoors due to weather, pests or whatever reason, this is a fantastic grow tent that will serve your purposes. It's easy to assemble, easy to clean, and has all sorts of available areas to run cords and setup fans for airflow and even exhaust. If you're serious about growing year-round, this is a great tent for your needs. If I need another one, I'm getting this again.

Not completely light proof, but excellent quality for the price. You may need to tape up a few spots, but overall, gets the job done. The small light leaks are easy to fix. The inside is easy to clean up. The tent was easy to assemble and just as easy to take apart. Would buy it again. I seriously appreciate how they set up the floor so that it is easy to remove and clean up, especially with the tent being set on top of carpet. A great value.
