Have I got a review for you, I have recently just acquired a new Grow Tent, compliments of one of our loyal sponsors Access Hydroponic. Now if you have been in my journals, you know about my DIY setup, although there is not really much difference in design wise, but material wise, WOW! Let’s just say this is a major step up. Follow me on the unpacking of a Grow Tent from Access Hydroponic.
First off, I was very impressed with the super speedy shipping, I got notification that the tent was sent out and the next morning, I awoke to find it at my front door. Brought it in the house and got to opening it.
As you can see here, they pack these boxes very tightly for secure shipping, the Heavy Duty Oxford Cloth and the connecting rods are all packed in plastic seals for extra security.
Comes complete with all the rods and instructions on assembly.
The cloth is inner lined with 100% reflective mylar which also has a floor panel which is also lined with the mylar and is waterproof for easy clean ups, you have your power cords up high, right? The rods are metal rods that have little clips on the inside of them, now this is probably my only issue that I had with the tent, when assembling the tent, the clips wouldn’t hold the pieces together in which a little bit of electrical tape came in handy, other than the clips, setup is wonderful.
Along with the frame rods, this tent comes with 2 hanger bars for your lights. It also comes with 5 vent holes which can fit either 4, 5 or 6 inch fans or exhaust. These vent holes also come with drawstrings to close them off or open when need extra venting. The cloth has a zipper opening that allows for easy access into the tent, which also has a strap that can be Velcro to the side of the tent which allow the user to keep the door out of the way. Along the bottom of the tent on the sides and 1 on the back, are some vents that are mesh covered, on the outside there are cloth covers that are secured in place, and can be removed easily, with Velcro as well.
Fully setup after a bowl and 1/2 hour.
As for the test run, I had yet to setup my fan inside it yet, and with a CFL fixture going, the tent got to 82 degrees, still without the intake fan going, I turned on the exhaust fan and opened 2 of the mesh vents half way, and it cooled back down inside to a nicely comfortable 73 degrees. I placed my plants in there for the light, and I looked through the vents and I could actually see movement on the leaves. I was amazed. Now with the fan, air circulation inside is amazing, it is so much better than my DIY setup. I totally recommend anyone looking for a tent, to get one of these from Access Hydroponics. I got the space restrictor as I like to call it, the 32 x 32 x 63 tent. It fits nicely in my room where the old setup used to be. But if you are looking for something bigger, they have multiple sizes ranging from 3 x 3, 4 x 4, 2 x 4, and all the way up to the 10 x 10.
Thank you again to Access Hydroponic for the wonderful Grow Tent!
