What is Reddit's opinion of VIVOSUN S848 4x8 Grow Tent, 96"x48"x80" High Reflective Mylar with Observation Window and Floor Tray for Hydroponics Indoor Plant for VS4000/VSF4300?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

> I am most concerned with temp and humidity right now, still waiting for my monitoring device.

That's exactly why you need a tent. This 4X8x6.5 tent from Amazon has a footprint of 32 ft^2 and a volume 208 cubic feet. Your basement, on the other hand, has a footprint of 700 ft^2 and a volume of around 5600 cubic feet. Controlling the temperature and humidity inside the entire basement is going to take an epic amount of power and hardware compared to controlling it inside a tent. I'd guess the difference at something like 10-1 in terms of watts. In my opinion, in your situation, a tent is a must.

all of the above posters gave solid advice, so let me throw in a wildcard. https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Horticulture-Hydroponic-Obeservation-Growing/dp/B01DXYMSMM/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1474474018&sr=8-12&keywords=grow+tent

A hydroponic grow tent may be a great solution:

+available in a bunch of sizes

+lightproof

+relatively cheap

+can potentially offer a more dust free environment

+can turn a portion of a room into a darkroom effectively

+can be dissassembled and moved easily

-needs good ventilation to comfortable

-"no seriously, it's fucking Darkroom, not a grow operation", you'll be saying that a lot

Oh nice, so 3 intake and 3 exhaust. And you have 6 inline fans in total combining to 2,000cfm?

​

Thinking to do something like this with a couple of these (1x intake and 1x exhaust). Pretty expensive but they are quiet and I am in Texas so the ambient temp will be up to 105F.

Thats a vivosun grow tent. Link below.
