VIVOSUN R846 4x8 Grow Tent, 96"x48"x72" Roof Cube Tent with Observation Window and Floor Tray for Hydroponics Indoor Plant for VS4000/VSF4300

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!

Tent came in the mail early! Easy set up and no issues with the tent thick material!

It's almost impossible to put together a 4x8x6 by yourself in an enclosed area but otherwise it's outstanding. It took about 2 hours following the instructions and fumbling around awkwardly to get it together. Once you've got this bad boy zipped up and taught though it's surprisingly sturdy and VERY well constructed. I purchased my unit without the air filtration or blower system since I'm mainly using it as a terrarium for reptiles and hatching aviary eggs. The vent holes for that ventilation system are able to close and cinch down pretty tight to where I'm confident you won't have any issues with pests or moisture getting in. Fabric and zippers are very heavy duty and held up to me manhandling it into position in a small basement closet. I have no doubt that it will last many years if properly cared for. I will update this review after a few months of growing leafy greens and raising hatchlings to report if any issues arrise.

Very easy to put together and there aren’t any light leaks! Those are the two most important for me and why I gave it 5 stars! I love that you can step inside of this tent and that it’s tall enough so the plants have room to grow and not hit the light yet you don’t have to pay a small fortune to get that! What I didn’t like is closing one of the vents holes as I was putting it together and the spring broke. The part was very cheap but that didn’t diminish the product just made the outside vent part not as easy to close. I love the storage pocket inside so I can take notes in the plants and leave there without losing. The window in the front is also an added bonus! Over all it’s a nice tent. Just for comparison this is my 5th tent and have been growing for 6 years.****After having the product for 6 months I’d like to add it has leaked water “condensation” through the seams on 2 of the 4 corners and caused mildew damage on our carpet. None of my other tents leaked in all the years of growing so I did not expect that. I put lined painters cloth under on two sides but it went through that as well! Changing my review due to these leaks!
