D948 2-in-1 9x4 Grow Tent, 108"x48"x80" High Reflective Mylar with Multi-Chamber and Floor Tray for Hydroponic Indoor Plant

Update: I’ve been using this tent for over 2 years and it’s holding up great. I’ve also learned to resolve my earlier issue, with the roof. It’s not ideal but training my plants to grow shorter worked out better than expected. My last yield was over 4 lbs. I really can’t complain about the roof anymore. I’m changing my rating to 5 stars since the roof design wasn’t the hindrance I anticipated. The low stress training method resolved that. It also increased my yields more than I thought possible. I wish I’d tried low stress training with my earlier grows. I was always nervous about breaking a branch. This tent forced me to try a new technique and it worked out amazingly. Valuable lesson learn. Great investment, I’m glad I bought it 3 years ago. The price has increased dramatically. It’s still worth the value though. I’ll be buying another as soon as I can afford the new setup. A purchase I thought I’d regret turned out to be one of my best investments. If it didn’t have the sloped roof I’d give it 5 stars. I’ve been using it about a year and the quality is fine. The zipper does stick once in a while but I’ve had that problem on past tents and it’s an easy fix usually. My biggest complaint is the sloped roof. It restricts your light height to only 5 feet if that. That extra foot makes a huge difference sometimes. It would be great if the roof were square. I’m also using a 3x3 the same height with a conventional roof. It allows for use of the entire ceiling of the tent to hang my light. Overall all, if you’re not planning on growing tall plants it’s a good buy. Set up was easy and the zipper only came off once. Seems to hold a decent amount of weight and fits great in by basement which has 7 foot ceilings. I wish they’d redesign the roof to allow for full access of the tent height. I’d love to have another one with a standard roof. This was the only 4x8 that I could find with a 6 foot ceiling.

I'm getting ready for veggie planting season, but some plants are year-rounders. I typically keep them in random spots around the house, but when one of my big mothers (not pic'd) started to flower unexpectedly and unplanned, I had to figure out the lights and living situation fast. I have propped lights, but they've gotten unruly. I needed to hang them, but I'm not putting holes in my ceilings. I've been eying grow tents for a while and you can't beat the price and quality of these Vivosun tents. I bit the bullet and ordered Tuesday, and it with other stuff I got for it came Thursday, super quick. My husband brought the tent upstairs himself in a single, long, flat box, which surprised me - it was smaller than I expected. The two of us assembled it today in about an hour. One person can almost certainly put together themselves, but I imagine it would probably take about twice as long. It's just way easier with two people. All the pieces were labeled clearly, and they were all included as expected, which is half the battle. The quality is the other half, and I was NOT disappointed at all. The fabric is heavy-duty, but it's not heavy, in a good way. Some reviews had issues with zippers, and while there's almost always going to be a ramdom defect somewhere, our zippers had ZERO issues. There were one or two tough spots where you had to go over them a couple times to iron them out, but we didn't have any splits or bad teeth. They're actually pretty stellar. The rods are a thicker mL hollowed metal, not the cheap flimsy tin. All the pins popped into place with ease, even when we realized we'd positioned a couple corners wrong and had to redo them. No problems. The dimensions are exact with no awkward slacking. The instructions are a single piece of paper with a diagram, which leaves something to be desired, but honestly it makes sense and it works. Keep in mind, though, that you will have to figure out the most practical way to "wrap" the framing with the fabric. We put the tent in my small office, so we had to make do with a half and half approach, putting the left half into the unzipped fabric and then attaching the right half. There's more than one way to skin a cat, though, so look at how they suggest you put it together, but know that there are probably 4 other ways to assemble based on your space. So the first hour was the tent assembly and the rest was the fan, lights, wiring, plant placement and customizing, which took about 2 hours. Now I have properly hung lights and ventilation, and my girls and I truly could not be happier. My only complaint is now I don't get to see my girls whenever I walk past and smile, but I know they're happy, healthy, and it's for their own good. In a week when I do my veggie seeds, I know they're going to do awesome in this new space too!

Love this grow tent. The size is perfect for my light setup and really opens up for easy access to the plants. The only gripe I have is that the zippers seem like they could be of higher quality. No problems yet but I could see this being an issue after a few grows

Esta como se menciona en medidas un poco pequeño, y los paneles para separar las áreas se pega con velcro y una con la pura charola lo cual no se puede tener un total control.

La carpa en buena, el problema es que tiene muchas fugas de luz por los zipper y la parte que divide el tent por dentro, se pega con Velcro, lo cual tembien deja muchas fugas de luz hacia ambos lados, si eso no te importa por lo demás esta bien.

Assembly was pretty straight forward, although the instructions were really poor, actually sliding on the mylar was a bit challenging , however it was nice and thick and no worry of tearing. The middle divider wall was also a bit tricky and took a second person pushing outside the tent to fully secure down , but once in place seems pretty firm , overall i am satisfied with the thickness and quality of the tent at this price, no harsh chemical smells, and all pretty straightforward assembly. as for the Cons, although not many there are a few, for starters there were lots of loose threads i had to burn off, and the metal frame is rather weak, ive seen people literally hang off competitors frame bars , with no bend, but if i tried that it would collapse , that being said its not weak and can hold both the light and vent fan no problem , there were also light leaks around each zipper, and down each side of the tent in random patches, lucky i do not need it in a dark room , because if i did i would most certainly remove a star for light leaks, the front is actually rather bad , that being said i dont really have anything else to complain about , especially at this price point , id say the only difference between this option and say something 200 dollar more expensive would come down to a very SLIGHT increase in thickness, and thicker metal bars, if its really needed ... that is subjective Will update after first grow with more details!

Received as a gift for starting my garden plants indoors, we have a really short growing season. The bars are sturdy, all metal, with push button lock into place connections, also metal, so no tools are required to set up, and obvious that it can handle disassembling/reassembling time and again. I’m pretty handy, and was able to do it myself in about an hour and a half. It would have been much faster with help, and if the instructions had been more useful. What you see in the photo is all you get. 1 tiny schematic that happens to be wrong. Missing instructions for corner pieces and support bars for the shelf, which I spotted before getting too far and counted all of the parts to see what it must be. Additionally, the tent does NOT go on from above as the photo indicates, but instead has a base that is attached by a kilometre of zipper. Had I known this, I would have assembled the bars inside the tent instead of wrestling it in afterwards. This was the slowest part of the whole process. At 80” tall, I’m not sure how anyone would have accomplished it had it been expected to go on from above. A better instructional sheet or leaflet would push this to 5 stars. The frustration of errors making it far more difficult than it needed to be is the only negative thing I have to say about this. My herbs, peppers and tomatoes are happily waiting transplant, and I suspect I’ll be able to keep herbs and greens alive all winter in here. For those growing other things- there are lots of openings for ventilation set ups and whatever else you may need, with good Velcro on black out panels.
