I have new poles on the way now. Verified with a tracking number, even!
The guy who I corresponded with gave me two tips:
Clean the inside of the hut with alcohol. Bleach is for pathogens, it doesn't help with chemicals. Alcohol is a solvent and will help remove any chemical residue that might be clinging to the PVC. (I used bleach water after the alcohol just to be safe since the Huts had already been in use.)
Hot soapy water on the poles. Bleach doesn't hurt, but don't leave out the hot or the soapy.
I'm testing my original poles - they've been washed and dried. I also painted the poles with epoxy paint as suggested (thanks Sundance & Rellikbuzz). I then sealed the seams and buttons with kitchen/bath caulking that has anti-mold and anti-mildew protection built in. Hey, it can't hurt!
I got all that done last night; some test plants are going in the Hut today. Got my fingers crossed!

If there is any problem it should show up quick ... starting first day you will notice something aint right ... and worse as the days pass
Clean poles, off gassing, cleaning the tent as described above by KillerQueen should insure that all is well
Test .. and
Please keep us up

It's not fake. To suggest that again, this far into the thread, means you are an idiot or you didn't read the thread.
This has been discovered and identified by experienced growers. Instead of coming on here and casting aspersions on people's growing ability, maybe you should thank people for bringing this to light and just be glad you were untouched by it.

The other thread on this subject was closed due to flamers....
Le's try to keep this one civil, so we can all work out a solution or two to fix these problems....
Be patient with each other, please. Dare I say accountable...? As if they were in the same room.

I did wipe down the original 2 troublemakers. It didn't help.
I did not wipe down the 4x4 replacement before using it.
I have not yet assembled the 4x8 replacement to test it yet.

THanks KOD, then it has to be something in the vinyl gassing; this takes a while before it actually goes away; kinda like a new car smell, or a new shower curtain when you get it, takes like a month or more sometimes for that nasty smell to go away.

Kiss - follow these instructions for cleaning ... I agree about the plastic off gassing, and with Stitch's comment ... use a topside Cal Mag foliar feed .. and if your still having problems, continue to work with HH Customer Service
There are thousands of happy Hydro Hut users out there
Wishing you great success
I received the new poles. They had no effect on the tents toxicity issues. It is the vinyl for sure. However, anyone with an issue should email HH themselves. Their customer service for me has been impeccable. When they fix the issue I will purchase more huts. Until then, IF YOU HAVE A BAD HUT, THERE IS NO FIX, IT WILL KILL PLANTS. I tried washing poles and tent. No problems outside the tent.
I wonder if you let the tents air out for a while, if you have a private area and keep the tents open outside for a while and let the smell go away...... anyone try this? They can only off gas for some time, just like vinyal shower curtains, takes some time for the smell to go away, but it does go away.
I know this is total bullshit, you spend $$ on the huts and then you can't use the damn things, total BS!

so are we thinking the new 3x3 unit thats coming in is going to have problems too? im figuring they know its the vinal not the poles cause they readily shipped me a whole new hut.. so would it be good to wipe down the walls and polls of the one i have with alchohol? or is this problems something permenent? like it will never go away?
