What is Reddit's opinion of VIVOSUN S326 36"x20"x63" Grow Tent, High Reflective Mylar with Observation Window and Floor Tray for Hydroponics Indoor Plant for VS1000/VS2000?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Yeah good tents are a little more expensive than I'd like but the build quality makes up for it seeing it in person, and the cost of getting fans adds on a bit more. But it also lets me really easily do temp control much more efficiently by running some ducting from my window unit a/c straight into the tent. I have this 36x20x62 tent in the pic.

My tent right now is

I plan on using this tent to veg and then use it for seedlings in the future, the 5x5 tent would be 6-8 weeks in the future and I would get a quantum board along with that tent.

Should I still pick up a 600w HPS or something for most bang for my buck?

Thanks for your help dude

> Im looking at the secret jardin tents. any experience with these?

Secret Jardin is an expensive brand. Nothing wrong with that, but you are buying a very cheap light, so general advice is: Get a better light, and a cheaper tent. Spend the extra money on a better light fixture.

> should I buy a tent that is 35''x24''x35'' or a 24''x24''x60''

However you go with lights, you will want the vertical room. You need to factor in fans, lights, filters, containers. . .anything under 5' is going to cause headaches--and that's if you are prepared to ScrOG/LST quite a bit.

> how many plants would be efficient in either of these 2 spaces?

It depends. If the goal is to go from seed/clone to bud as fast as possible, run 4 plants. If you know they are female, put them in 12/12 when they are 10" tall. For me, I'd run one or two, and get them vegged in and trained first. But that takes a few extra weeks of veg.

(Quick side note about weight link is at bottom, i don't weigh my harvest lol it doesn't matter to me so i never have. But can run 4 three gallon fabric pots or 3 five gallon fabric pots but i generally run 2-3 because i like to have some space. I've used vivosuns square pots a couple of times and they help manage space better I think if you're someone who wants that) Price seems to have gone up some since I've bought but ive had this specific tent for 4-5 years now. I mostly used it for autos, but after moving and not growing in like 3 months its the first tent I have up so I'm running photos in it and did a hole check for the first time, only had 2 small ones on the side one of which was my fault and one on the bottom that was my cat. Its probably held up the best out of the other brands I've used tbh but thats just my experience. Sorry for rant mt adhd is acting up today lol.
