MARS HYDRO 4x4 Advanced Grow Tent, 48"x48"x80" High Reflective Mylar 1680D for Hydroponics Indoor Plant Growing, with Observation Window,Floor Tray and Smooth Zipper for TSW2000/FC4800/FC-E4800

I looked for the right tent for several months, watching You Tube videos and reading ads on Amazon and decided on the Mars Hydro. I'm happy about my choice.The things I like about this tent are:The quality of the materials: The outer fabric is sturdy and well assembled/stitched. The zippers operate very smoothly with no kinks or binding. Just make sure the flaps (to keep out light) are clear of the zipper. The inner material is highly reflective and includes a reflective floor tray for catching spills. It's a nice feature. The frame materials are very sturdy and appear to be able to hold most accessories you'd need (lights, fans, etc.).Assembly was easy overall. I really didn't follow the instructions for assembling the frame and had to take one section apart when I put the cross bar roof support into the top side bar connector. It was easy to figure out my mistake when things didn't line up and switched the supports around. The tent slipped easily over the frame, keeping in mind that you need to pull the material over the frame carefully, not forcing anything. I have a tent from another company where the door didn't zip close because the material is too short. With the Mars Hydro everything fits perfectly.There are plenty of ports for threading cords and allowing air to flow. Also, there's an observation window.I highly recommend this tent.

So far the tent has been perfect, it has plenty of vents, was pretty simple to put together seems to be made very well. My only issue is the lack of the option to purchase additional support poles for the top. The price was a bit more then I wanted to spend even with a coupon but they were the only ones with the odd size as well as mostly positive reviews do I went with it. I really wanted a 60” by 36” by 80” tent but this one comes very close so I like it. I don’t use the view window much but it does come with one. I noticed a few very minor pin holes in the corners which are very tiny so I just have to be sure if I ever need complete darkness I plan accordingly but as of now I’m growing carrots and other veggies so it doesn’t matter.The material seems very sturdy and thick. I would recommend this tent as it has some of the best reviews, is made of quality material and has a solid zipper on it. Just know you can’t get additional support beams from the company but maybe that will change one day. They do sell additional side bars on their website so I’m optimistic.

I am very pleased with the durable material of the MARS Hydro grow tent. Being very limited on space, this smaller size tent fit my needs. The construction is of excellent quality and not flimsy at all. I like the zipper flap feature to keep the light from shining out into the room through the zipper as many people complain about with other tent manufacturers.Some people are more concerned about keeping the light from going into the tent during flowering stages of growth, but I think that notion is a bit too paranoid because any plant with naturally be exposed to moonlight anyway. Whatever your belief about stray light into the tent, this MARS Hydro tent will satisfy you.I think grow tents as a general rule are overpriced for what they are, but if you wait for a sale it helps to justify the cost. Some other brands are insanely priced that cannot be justified ever--even on sale, but MARS Hydro is decently priced in comparison to other similar products and it's worth paying the few extra dollars above the flimsy lower quality tents available.I am now a MARS Hydro fan and highly recommend their products. Hopefully as indoor growing of plants in a controlled environment becomes more popular, the prices of indoor growing supplies will come down.

Mars hydro makes the most consistent, quality, usable, and price friendly grow tent on the market, and have been, for a much longer time than most of these other companies. Been using them for over a decade with little to no issues.

Not bad! I was worried with some of the negative reviews, but felt I definitely got my money's Amazon.Note: I purchased this for 74.99 on Anazon.The reason why I went with this tent instead of others was due to its height. Most 2x2 tents are 2x2x3 or 2x2x4, and I wanted to get a bit more height out of it than that and boy does this tent deliver!Set up was fairly simple after I wrapped my head around what I needed to do. Only took 15 to 20 minutes. Literally just look at the included literature, separate the different poles, assemble the frame from the bottom up, make sure the connectors on the rods are facing the right way as you put them on, put the whole frame on its side, FULLY unzip the tent, then I shoved the bottom on the frame in first, then you just kinda work it in nice and slow. Easy peasy.Materials seems great! The Oxford seems well made. No cuts or holes. I even accidentally scraped the end of an aluminum rod against the Oxford and it didn't even leave a mark.The mylar on the inside is nice and super reflective. Great quality! When you open your tent, make sure you put on some sunglasses! (Not joking).As far as light leaks go, there is a small amount of stitching between zipper and the canvas material that shows light, but they do provide you with squares of mylar that you can use to glue over those parts if you care that much. Personally, the location I have my tent will cut out more light anyways since the light has to go through a closet door before it would go into the tent. Another thing with light leak, is that you if you have the intake flaps on the bottom open, means you are letting light in anyway, so I don't think it's a big deal...The zipper itself is nice and smooth to zip up and down. Doesnt get caught or anything. Tine will tell if this holds true as this is the most "used" part of a tent.There are plenty of options for exhaust, however I would've loved to see an intake port for active intake as well. As it is now, there are 2 intake flaps on the bottom on adjacent sides, which is fine and you can feel the air pulling through no problem, but it would be nice to have an active set up for intake filtration. Now I have to get some square filters and figure out how to attach them to the intakes. Would be nice if maybe there was some sort of slotting mechanism for a square intake filter!The tent also comes with one of those water catch pans, and it actually stays in place since it has 2 flaps on each corner with velcro on them to attach to the poles of the tent on the inside for a sturdy attachment that won't move around on you.Some other things I would have liked to see would be a viewing window, a small tool pocket somewhere, slightly thicker poles (I don't think the included poles are bad, but without the tent put around the poles, it feels a little flimsy) and would be nice if tent manufacturers figured out a way to mount fans on the outside of the tents.I wanted to mount my fan on the outside to allow more room for plant growth and because having my light and fan inside at the same time didn't allow enough room for the light to be centered if I used the side exhaust ports, which btw, the ports could definitely be placed higher up the tent. There is a good amount of space between the side exhaust ports and the very top of the tent. Kinda wasted space there....So I took an aluminum rod and bent it into a shape that would support the fan (AC Infinity S4) on the top support braces and the top rear pole so it sits right over the 10inch top exhaust. If you are looking at the picture, the part of the rod with the bend is the part that is sitting on the 2 top support braces (the braces you hang your lights from) then the 2 ends of the bar are resting on the top rear pole. Been sitting there for a week now with no issues.I have a 100 watt SpiderFarmer SF1000 in there and with the S4 fan on level 6, I don't get any higher temperatures than 80.4 F with ambient temperatures around 72 to 74. RH is 40.
