Make sure you go and look at a tent in a shop.
Over the years I've purchased tents unseen and they have had little issues like doors not blocking out 100% light and other little things.
I stood inside the last tent I bought in the shop to check light leaks!

great idea HalfArsedFarmer
Greenqube, Hydrolab and Budbox's are the best tents out there. I have used them all and would recommend each one. You should atleast be able to find one of these brand tents in your local grow shop.
Just make sure to check online first to check where all ventilation holes are on the tent before you buy along with the sizes of them.

Why are tents so noisy. It's not just the poles that are never dampened with a little expanding foam. It's the clunky zips, and the velcro you have to half cover in gaffer because there's too much. But even when you have it up, and have decided fastening it is just to noisy, the material itself is like Rolf Harris and his wobble board. I just ran the slowest bath ever, to give myself time to drop one without the neighbours hearing (it's a flat, and you hear birds on the roof). A friends neighbours have also commented, which we think is zips. But we stand them on rubber workshop tiles and carpet them.
There is a good case for thin cheap tents, where the noise of a thick one is just too much.
I have some early budbox tents in white not mylar. They're really quite supple. Heavy, but not stiff enough for Rolf to get involved

They're noisy things alright.
They have a place & I've used them in the past & will used one again in the future no doubt, but where you can build a room, build a room.

As long as your extraction is set up properly and you are filtering the air out with a carbon filter you should be fine. Just make sure all connections on your ducting are secured properly and you shouldnt have any issues with smell leaking. Never try to grow in the tent without a fan + filter, also make sure you size them up correctly and using thee correct sized filter for your fan depending on how much air your fan can move.
Obviously the smell will escape once you open the tent but not much you can do about that. other than to close the door on the the room that your tent is in when you open it, to contain the smell to the room.
I occasionally get the odd whiff near the end of flower, but thats down to the filter + fan not due to the tent. I think if your rooms also too humid then it can affect how well the filter works, more humidity = slight smell leakage.
As i posted earlier, just get a good tent, greenqube, budbox or hydro lab and you wont go wrong, depending which part of the country you are in you should find one of these for sale at your local shop.
