I apologise in advance if there is already a thread about Grow Tents, I did a search but nothing came up.
Anyone here use them? they come in multiple sizes so are good for just about any configuration.
Here's a few features .... It sounds like an ad because I copied a lot of this from an ad but only to show what the Grow Tent is about. I won't post a link but if you want more info Google for it
Made of heavy duty Nylon.
Fire proof material
Highly Reflective PVC Plastic for maximum light exposure
Strong metal frame
Open vents designed for filters and oxygen for the plants
Double layer floor for Extra protection.
This is a multi-purpose indoor growing chamber. The exterior "skin" is made of super heavy-duty black ballistic nylon lined on the inside with highly reflective weather proof ultra-white pvc plastic. The "skin" also features commercial grade oversized sewn in zippers for easy installation and easy access.
It holds 24 plants comfortably and they full up the room, they are around 4/5ft tall.
For lighting I am using 2x 600 Osram Son T-Plus and 2 125w envirolites (each of these envirolites are the equialivant to about 500 watts). I haven't used these before but figured they are worth checking out, so far they seem to be doing the job. Very little heat (you can touch them), no ballast and cheap to run
I expected the heat build up to be a major problem but surprisingly it's not, the exhaust fan keeps it at a reasonable temperature even on the hot summer days, no A/C needed. I figure the compact room ensures the air circulates at a high rate which keeps the heat down.
I'm very pleased with the tent, a bit of light escapes but in the daytime it's not noticable.
Any feedback from others using the Grow Tents would be appreciated.

A strong, top quality metal frame work holds the system together neatly and is very easy to assemble. Sturdy wire roof supports will hold the grow light reflector, exhaust fan, circulation fan etc.
Built in vents allow for easy control of your temperature and humidity levels inside the grow tent. This tent features THREE 6 INCH Vent Ports are on the top, TWO 5 INCH Vent Ports are on either side and TWO 4 INCH Vent Ports are located on the back of the grow tent. TWO 6" Metal Vent Flanges with couplers and wing nut/bolts come with each tent which are perfect for inline ventilation fans, centrifugal blowers and carbon filters and will accomodate any 6" fan or ducting. The unit also features three built in vent flaps on three of four sides near the bottom of the grow tent to ensure proper air flow and drafting.
A thermal sealed water-proof double floor affixes into the bottom of the grow tent. The water-proof floor stands about 6" high and attaches to the sides of the tent using prestitched velcro fasteners and allows for placement of the grow tent on any surface without the fear of damage from water overflow.
