no one has an opinion?

Who the hell told you a tent would be the death of a plant? That must be why no one is replying, is that someone who told you you by any chance. Anywho, a pic is worth a thousand words... So if you want to see what can be done in a microgrow with a single 400w and 4'x4' PVC lined tent, drop in on my grow log, link is in the signature.

There were/are some bad tents on the market. I would think this would be corrected in the newer tents but who knows.

Story here: Hydrohut killers - 420 Magazine

I've used one without any problems though...

Acccording to Crabby's link, it was just the HydroHut with the white lining that was made in a sweatshop in China that was killing plants. Improper ventilation coupled with noxious offgassing from some crappy plastic could kill plants I suppose. I use 2 different models of the darkroom, have been 100% satisfied with both. If you are going to flower in a tent, purchase a carbon filter, it will help immensely with air quality and smell control. Be sure to keep negative pressure in the tent tho, if you have positive pressure you will smell weed leaking out everywhere.

Heres a link to one retailer selling the Darkroom.
