This tent is not cheap. I ordered it because of its odd size. When I received the tent I immediately saw why it cost more. This this is high quality. The heavy duty plastic zippers are smooth and feel like they will last for years. All of the zippers have covers that keep out the light leaks. The only downside to this tent is its a bit of a chore to open and close delye to the sheer number of zippers. You are opening 3 zippers minimum to get in and out. I have never owned a gorrila tent but I imagine them to be very similar to this hydropolis tent. Read more

I purchased this tent specifically for the dimensions. It fits my 22x45 flood tray perfectly. The tray with stand is 24x48 so a standard 2x4 tent would not work for me. I'll compare it to my gorilla tent in this review since they are so similar in design and price. This tent is the same design as gorilla tents. No height extension for this one but I didn't need that--but it does unzip 180 degrees for good access especially in this size. The 600D canvas feels sturdy and is reinforced in the corners. The material is sort of noisy and crinkly kind of tarp feeling unlike the softer plastic feel of the gorilla tent. I don't know how it compares to the gorilla lite material. No pin holes that I can see. (8/10) The metal poles are sturdy and all lock in place. There is some play in the frame but once you out the tent on it seems just as sturdy as the gorilla tent. I do wish there were 2 support bars instead of 1 for the roof. All corner pieces are nicely welded. (9/10) It has plenty of duct vents. Two on each side top and bottom and one in the roof. One cord sock on each side and one on the back. Screened passive intake on back. Would prefer screened vents on bottom sides rather than duct socks but that's just me (8/10) Zipper looks identical to gorilla and is double stiched with flaps to block light. Interior mylar looks standard of most other tents on the market and spill tray is one piece and should do the job (8/10) Overall I am very pleased with this tent in both quality and features for the price. If I did not need an "oversized" tent I will admit I would have bought another gorilla, but the need for a ~2.5x4.5 tent left me with few options. I will likely purchase another Hydropolis in the future. Overall 8/10 Note to manufacture: please consider including 2 short support roof bars with this tent. ****PLEASE consider removing "Grow tent" and other markings from outside of box. I would not consider this discreet shipping**** EDIT: I have now purchased two of these tents, so I must like it :) Read more

The media could not be loaded. One more update: I have the tent set up now, and I am using it as a darkroom. I will tell you that the tent fits over the frame incredibly tightly. I had to use some pry bars and my foot to wedge the the last corner over the frame. It was very difficult. I had some questions as to whether it could be used as a darkroom, but I'm here to tell you with a few modifications it can be done. I had to add some blackout curtains on the outside of the door and on the inside because it is not designed to be zipped up from the inside. So I have the zipper slightly undone and I have a double blackout curtain on the outside and a blackout curtain on the inside. Once inside, it is pitch black. I was able to cover up any tiny light leaks with some black duct tape. There were only a few. The ventilation holes are very useful. I have it set up to take in air on one side and push it out on the other side so the fumes don't get too much. It looks to be a very nice little darkroom. Update: The company got back to me and is sending me the missing part. Excellent customer service. I am not entirely sure how good this tent is yet. I have not been able to put it together because it is missing a corner piece. What I do like about this tent is that it looks very sturdy. The frame is metal and not PVC, the material looks heavy. I'm just missing a piece so that I can finish putting it together. I could buy a PVC replacement but I'm hoping that the company will send me one. Unfortunately their number is disconnected. I have tried reaching out to them through Amazon and also through email and have yet to hear back. I will update this review if I hear from them. Read more

Terrible Product!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT BUYING!! First the package was blown apart, pieces of the tent were falling out when it was delivered. If you are hoping for guidance when putting it together you wonβt find it. There is one sheet with next to no words instructing you on how to install. And guess what, the instructions are flat out wrong, the diagram shows more pieces than you actually receive!! Quality of the pipe used is subpar, I went from AC Infinity to this and it is drastic. The cover is insanely tight, I tore the tent within next to no pressure. The viewing window has holes in it, if I didnβt absolutely need the space I would return it. Read more

I really like the price on this tent. Its exactly the same as a gorilla tent except the top dont come off to add extensions and on the 3x3+ there is no viewing window. Not sure how longevity is going to be but i take care of my stuff so im sure itll last awhile. I really like the oversized feature you can fit the ks5000 in this tent and it fits snug but fits. I really like the three vents on this also where my ggt only has one it runs warm. I wish they had more cross bars for hanging things i need two more they should give you more than two. Thats the downfall area. The only downfall is the size itself there is no bars thatll fit it for high cfm or for the top hopefully they offer some at somepoint until then ill just fabricate something that works Read more
