Secret Jardin should come with 3 rolls of extra heavy duty duct tape so that you can make it light tight. If it's the best, then build a room.

Is there a better tent? I don't have a lot of experience with different brands of tents but I myself have owned over 3 different styles from this brand and I think they are pretty decent. First one I bought was 4 years ago and I recently bought a new one and could see improvements. They are by no means light proof but they make growing a lot easier when not able to build a room.
I like secretjardin
I've had good luck with my sunhut silver xxl, going on almost 2 years. It has some pinhole light leaks, but they're only noticeable from the outside if my 1k's are on. If I get inside and turn on the regular cfl room lighting outside, I can't see anything. I also had to replace one of the closures...no big deal.
I had a secret jardin 5x5 before that, also a good tent.
That being said, I sure wish I had the space/option for a sealed ROOM.

I have used both Secret Jardin and Hydro Hut tents.....myself I prefer the Hydro Hut as my 36" x 36" flood tray fits inside of my 3' x 3' Hydro Hut but not in my 3' x 3' Secret Jardin. Other than that I have no other issues with it.

Measure your 4x4 tray. Mine is 54" x 54". It fits nice in my Secret Jardin DR150 ver2.5 (5'x5').

How much weight are you going to hand from the tent's ceiling? I think Secret Jardin rates theirs at 65 lbs. Gorilla rates theirs over 300 lbs.
I use the 36" OD Botonicare tray

Just seen this tent at the shop the other day. called a gorilla box or something like that.
Its cool they make it in sizes different from other brands. and you can also add height to the top for more head room. the quality is far superior to anything I have ever seen. but for the cost you can probably seal a bedroom off and install a mini split and have a bad ass room.
If I had to go back to tents I would choose this type though. check it out.

Gorilla Tents seem to be the best quality all around, and of course their price reflects that. I don't own one, but I would love to! I just can't justify spending that kind of cash. Not in my scenario, anyway. But based on reviews, and anecdotal reports, they are leaps and bounds above the rest.
Secret Jardin I think is the best quality in the "midrange" of prices. I have one of theirs. The quality is really outstanding for the small one I have, the DR60. But if I ever want a big tent, like a 5x5 or bigger, I would spend the money on a Gorilla.
