Aviditi PTU-68 Mylar Reflective Hydroponic Grow Tent with T-Zipper, 36" Wide by 20" Deep by 63" High

As the title implies, this tent is very much worth the money. Easy assembly once you figure it out, bottom zippers unzip all the way until about an inch around the back corners, this is very important in that its necesscary to get the tent over the frame. The tent itself is perfectly light proof and very durable. The vent pictured is 6", there are two more, one on the top left and another on the back top-left corner, also 6". My only complaints would be the lack of holes for electrical cords to get into the tent, I use the lower vent hole and vent through the top and back. Comes with a drip tray that is also mylar. All plastic pieces seem sturdy. Some may not like that all vents are on the left, this however works perfectly for my set-up so I can't complain :)

This is the second tent I have bought from Aviditi. The first one I purchased is close to a year old and still holding up great.The tent measures pretty true to specs on here; about 3 feet by 20 inches by 5 feet tall. My first tent was a 4 foot by 4 foot by 7 foot. For my personal needs, I would have gone with the smaller tent to start off with instead of the bigger one. This tent is the perfect size, I have it sitting next to my bigger tent and it's amazing how much of a spatial difference there is in how much room they take up.In terms of looks, this tent looks like a wardrobe. I've even had a friend ask if it WAS a wardrobe. My bigger tent looks like a grow tent.As far as functionality, the tent has three 6" openings with socks and strings to cinch them tight. You could also use 4" fittings (that's more for what the cinch string is for, 6" fittings fit comfortably snug in there with little to no light penetration, especially with the length of the sock.) The top opening has a right angled sock on it (not that it matters, I managed to cram a 6" in-line can fan in there with a few grunts.)The inside is lined with a very good reflective lining on the inside top and bottom.There is a reflective lined "drip tray" which is the fabric material that stretches the length of the bottom of the tent and attaches to the corner posts with velcro, it's a few inches tall, and helps keep excess runoff water and liquids contained. Please note, this thing is NOT waterproof or leakproof; it's simply an extra safeguard to help prevent water from dripping out any seams in the tent bottom lining. The drip tray can and will leak if you have any standing water around the edges where the seams are. You could probably waterproof the seams up with a waterproofing spray if you wanted to go the extra mile, but the trick is to not torrential flood your plants. It works well enough in any case, I haven't had anything leak outside of the tent as of yet to date.There are two cross bars on the top of the tent that snap into place with thick plastic snap connectors. They seemed pretty heavy duty to me, I'm not sure how others had problems with theirs. They will snap into place with a little pressure and are VERY stout and tight in there. I have a 400W HPS with a reflector and a fan hanging from it and I don't at all feel like anything could possibly fall or snap or break. I have a little trick I use as well that some may find useful, get a few bungee cords and weave them back and forth through the top bars. You can hang ANY light fixture or just about anything from the bungee cord, bypassing the beams, but still utilizing them in the support with the bungee. That way you are utilizing the entire frame of the tent + the cross beams. May give you some peace of mind if you are hanging a light with a hood or something heavier (like a carbon scrubber.)Speaking of carbon scrubbers, most 6" inch carbon scubbers will not fit very comfortably in this tent; would highly recommend a 4" scrubber if you are using them.The zippers are stout and don't feel cheap to me. The vertical zipper zips from the bottom to the top. The bottom and top zippers zip from the inside to the outside respectively. It's nice to be able to just take a quick peak if you have to.There are two passive air intakes that have flaps on them on the bottom of the tent. The flaps all stay down enough for me; but if you are absolutely worried about light leak or air leaks, you can duct tape them shut very easily.There are some very minor pinhole light leaks around some of the seam areas, but having never personally stitched heavy canvas or fabric with a big needle before; I can't quite say if this is normal or not. I've read a lot of reviews of other tents and it seems there's someone always complaining about pinhole leaks. I will say this, in almost a year of having the bigger Aviditi tent and having nearly 4 flowering harvests, not a single one of those pinholes or passive air intake openings or anything other spot where a minute amount of light getting in has EVER caused any damage, slow down, or otherwise to any of my flowering plants, and this is with ambient light from the windows shining in and ceiling lights on. A small amount of ambient light is not going to stunt your plants or cause adverse reactions to your plants, especially when you're talking being diffused through a hole the size of a needle.The tent puts together VERY quickly. With two people it was up in under 10 minutes, and most of that was spent separating the different lengths of support bars (all of which were nicely labeled.) It helps to unzip the tent shell completely and lay the floor of it flat on the ground, then set the completed frame on top of it, then pull the tent shell over the frame (like a imagine you are peeling a banana, just do it in reverse.)Tent came with an extra plastic corner piece as well. It's not hard to find replacements online either, and reasonably priced. If you were handy with canvas and a needle, you could VERY easily make your own custom tent to spec with PVC pipe and these fittings.I would definitely recommend this tent to anyone starting out who is looking for a good small sized tent for a couple of plants. You can easily fit three 2 1/2 gallon pots in the tent. There is plenty of room for raising your lights, room for small fans for air flow, plenty of openings for any exhausts or in-line equipment you want to use. The tent sits tight and snug and feels very solid.

This tent is a good size for the space I had, and it is sturdy enough to support a reasonable amount of weight from the top bars. My issue with it is that the zippers really do not close tightly at the seams and there are some light leaks along the zipper seams. For the price, this tent is pretty good. But if you are going to have it in an area where you wont be able to control outside light, I would spend more for a more lightproof tent.

I have two tents that are this same size and I am kind of sad I never got two of these tents. This tents inside poles for hanging lights off of are all metal and will not break over time like the other brands cheap plastic ends.It is really easy to build and took me about 5 minutes.I took away one star because the leak guard liner leaks. They decided to put a seam all along the bottom where they connect the sides to the bottom. That seam leaks and the bottom of the tent has the same seam so that leaks too. Be careful not to let too much water leak out of your pots or you'll have water leaking over your floor.

This growing is well put together and easy to assemble. It took me roughly 45 min to put together and all while I was not feeling too well. So I'm quite sure had I been in better health it would have taken less time. I did find small difficulty with getting the bottom of the tent over the bars but it did not take too much effort. I was a little confused about the bottom tray and how to attach the Velcro to the inside of the tent and the directions could have been clearer that the valcro does not attach to the inside of the grow tent but is wrapped around the frame bars and is strapped to itself. After that small inconvenience eat was easy. It has two bars for the top of the frame where your lights would hang but mine seems a bit off measured because they don't fit snug against the bars but I found the weight of the lights secured them nicely. I'm already ordering another one!The tent has two nice air vents at the bottom of the tent with one input at the bottom and an output and fan 6in vents at the top. The reflective material covers the inside of the tent nicely and extra space on the flaps secure the grow tent from light leakage.

I like it. Minimal light leakage and good build quality. There are several holes for venting and ducts. The only thing I really wish it had but doesn't is another hole for an intake duct near the bottom. There are 3 air vents but a hole to pump intake air in at the bottom with ducting would be nice. There is one, but it's a little high and it's being used for cords. I feel like it was a good purchase, great price.

Excellent quality small tent for tiny spaces, my only complaint is the location of some of the duct holes. The roof duct hole is in a very odd place, and includes an elbow that faces the front of the tent. This makes duct routing a headache, but other than that the tent is great.Tent construction is solid, and light leaks through zippers are minimal. The tent includes mylar flaps to counteract this leakage.Overall, I am very happy with this purchase, and when I upgrade later, this will make an excellent vegetative tent.

Still use this tent today. Though it has just started to get some rips along the bottom and the zippers don't seem to work quite as well, this is still a solid tent. A little small, only fits a couple plants.

I bought this shoe holder like three years ago and it’s still going strong and the quality was really well done because it looks as good as the day I bought it

I purchased Aviditi's PTU-68 Mylar Reflective Hydroponic Grow Tent for my first indoor garden setup and am very impressed with the build quality and the good sturdy zippers. The tent is big enough hold my 6" carbon filter and inline fan. Overall i am very impressed with this tent and would recommend it to any first time indoor gardener.

The first one didn't fit the frame. Had to return it. The new one was shipped as soon as I started return process. Second one works as supposed.

Exellent product for the price. I really love the size and the zippers. I am very happy with my purchase
