I have had the pleasure to test out 3 different grow tents for various operations. We have the Homebox XS, GrowLab 80 and Secret Jardin DR80.

I have read various sites of people claiming which they feel is best, but never heard anything about people testing more then one. I have always used a Homebox as you can tell from my other grows. I feel that was always my standard for grow tents. For starters the Homebox I have has the white interior, 3 4" ports and the flaps. After one year of use the zippers have been fixed and frayed a lot. It ended up resorting to the clone room/mom room. Good for a T5 lamp, even though I've ran a 250 HPS in there. I personally would recomend this for someone who is starting off and will upgrade later. But I still love her. Its only $119 from most places.

Next we have the GrowLab 80, Now I'm big on stealth. and this thing is a monster grow tent, I have a feeling it was deffintly meant to hold a nice hydro table with a 600 watt hps or soil with a 1000k. Its 6 feet high, even though they claim it to be 5'11". I love The large space and the amount of exhaust holes it has, great for an air cooled and Co2 injection. Silver interior walls. It has some great flaps to view your grow from inside, but the windows are a bit hazy to look through since its thick plastic. The windows dont do much for stealth since any person can walk up and rip open the heavaly velcroed windows and see them/ruin a light cycle. Unlike the Homebox XS I was unable to attach my locks on the tent zippers just for home security. This would deffinitly be a good tent for someone who lives alone or can stash this in a basement behind a refrigerator lol. Price is around $200

Now, The final grow tent I have tested is the Secret Jardin DR80, They are a bit harder to find and deffinitly a bit cheaper then the grow lab pricing at $180. Now from the pictures I have seen on the net I wasnt so sure about this one, But heard great reviews online. It also has silver walls, Extremy tight nit vents with velcro. Its a 7" shorter then the growlab but 1" wider. I like the idea that this tent has 2 zippers but they meet up to make it one long line of zipper to throw a lock on it. No windows with this one, but it does have an amazing Port lay out, Not as many as the Growlab but it has double flaps in the ports to make it extreamly air tight. The only thing i didnt like was the top braces that hold the light wasnt as tight fitting as the growlab or Homebox. And the secondary floor was pretty loose. [

Hope you all learned some info on this. Any questions please ask, Im willing to answer. Good Luck on your tent hunts.
