New Gorilla Tent. Who's got em?

[Bennyweed1]

I have two of the Agromax tents from HTG supply.

These tents look the same without the stupid expandable option for half the price.

I have hang my weight from the poles and it holds me up no problem. I am 175lbs. They are completely light proof too. And those draw string flanges are not air tight. You need real flanges are a air tight design.

Gorilla tents leak more light than the titanic leaked water.

I guess it's fine if you need another tent, but you are seriously thinking to replace a good tent with something that's gonna costs you, I just don't get the logic.. the older my tent gets the more I love it, who doesn't love there favorite old worn shirt......

I think there ad is a joke:

-so you need super heavy material now, second no one's tent would rip pulling it
-showing that if you pickup the 'other peoples tent' will fall apart, well who walks around with the frame
-needing clip in bars doesn't do anything but add to your price your paying, when has anyone's tent with the canvas on needed help from the poles falling out
-so now were using our tent as a workout pullup bar, I've never seen a tent's top collapse, regardless of brand
-also what's up with the overly massive intake / outtake vent holes

once again, sure if you need a new tent, well competition is fine, but this is really no different then a tent with another name, and a way higher price


also as someone said, tents are really more suited for small setups, if your using 4 hoods, or a super big ass tent, just build a room....

i actaully think the extra big air ducts are good, i always use oversized ducting, it's silenter and allows me to change the power of the ventilation as needed without ever having it get really loud.

been researching a tent myself and i find the small duct holes a major design flaw.

but also most tents are 2meters high, this is a shame and wastes 20 to 30 cm of space in most places.

aas for the extra strong frame and cross bars, i think they are good too, as again i like to over size my scrubber, and don't want to have to worry that the tent will not take the weight.

anyway i just ordered this one,
Dark Room Rev. 2,1 (300W) 300x150x200cm

will tale some pics when setting it up.

Hey guys.

I had one of these, bought it when they first came out, it was the 5x5. I was super excited and was thinking I'd do a review on it here.

The material, the 'canvass' or whatever was super thick; nice. That's about where the "pros" stop.

I returned it cause it had bad design I thought. Instead of having the zipper(s) start and end at the same point, they had two starting points and end points and that left a big hole where the two starting points of the zipper(s) were. Just kinda a stupid oversight, especially for all the claims they made.

Oh and the duct "socks" bled light, not only through the stitching all around the circle of it but also through the actual material. The silver stuff on the inner sock was like, I duno, cheap non-reflective, see through crap, not like the awesome "diamond pattern" of the actual inside walls. It glowed like orange circles/jack-o-lanterns from the outside; Disappointing.

Hard to get zipped up, but it was nice and snug and tight when it was together, that's good.


It was a bit of a challenge to return it to them as well (though if I recall correctly, the place I bought it said if the GGT guys wouldn't - that they would take it back for refund.
GGT said they had a "new run" at the time and made "some improvements" on it. I didn't wanna chance it.

I liked the idea of the height extension kit, I got a free kit with mine on the early promotion but it was almost too tall as it was, haha.

If the came up with a "less zippers"/"same zipper start and end point (hope you know what I mean -- like the 'Jardin' style) it would be much better. That and the other things I mentioned.

There's about 5cents

[edit: I actually agree with the thicker material, it was great quality stuff, heavy though yes. Also yea, the weight capacity of the bars; who would complain about that? I don't think the metal corners with those pins/nipples were that necessary, but they allow for the extension kit thingy at the top. Windows; could do without. And nutrient pouch; stupid for nutes but maybe useful for something else - I duno. All I can think of.]

After setting mine up I see the issue with the zippers but they do have flaps to go over to prevent leaks. Ill give it a few weeks before I give it a final opinion. Setup wasnt too bad with 2 people.

Cool - hope you like it!
I really dig their extra thick, heavy duty material. I mean, I love that!
