This is a wonderful product. I bought a five foot long, three foot wide version to start garden vegetables and flowers seedlings. The frame poles easily "snap" together and although appearing flimsy during set up, are very sturdy and strong when finished assembling. The cover is very heavy and much thicker and stronger than I expected. The zipper is very heavy duty as well. There are a lot of viewing windows and ventilation ports. The cover was a little bit of a struggle to figure out and get on the frame by myself but was doable. Total assembly time was about 35 minutes by myself. I can 100% highly recommend this product as it has exceeded all of my expectations.

I upgraded my indoor gardening setup with the VIVOSUN S425 4x2 Grow Tent, and it’s like turning a corner of my home into a plant paradise. This grow tent is a must-have for any hydroponics enthusiast or indoor gardener looking to create the perfect environment for their plants. First off, the size is ideal. At 48"x24"x60", it’s spacious enough to accommodate a decent number of plants without taking over your living space. The reflective mylar interior works wonders, bouncing the light around to ensure that every leaf gets its share of the spotlight. My plants are thriving like never before, and I’m convinced they’re secretly plotting to take over my home. The observation window is a brilliant addition—it’s like a little peep show for your plants! I can check on their progress without disturbing the controlled environment, which is a huge plus for maintaining optimal growing conditions. The floor tray is another smart feature, catching any spills or dirt, making cleanup a breeze. Assembly was straightforward and didn’t require an engineering degree, which is always a relief. The materials are sturdy and well-made, ensuring that this tent will be a part of my gardening toolkit for years to come. In short, the VIVOSUN S425 4x2 Grow Tent is a game-changer for indoor gardeners. It’s well-designed, functional, and helps create a perfect environment for your plants to flourish. Highly recommended for anyone serious about taking their indoor gardening to the next level!

Ordered the 3x3x6 (36x36x72) the tent is slightly bigger than listed - probably around 3 inches horizontally and vertically. I'm 5 foot 11 inches tall and have plenty clearance overhead and I can line 3 pots up that are wider than 12 inches without effecting the tent's shape. If you plan to put it in a small space like I did, you'll likely want to climb inside the tent and build it from the inside. It has ample vents - 1 round vents in the ceiling, 6 round vents on the walls (1 at the top and 1 at the bottom), and 2 velcro flaps on the bottom left and right walls. There is one rather large viewing window on the top of the door. I wish they had added a viewing window on the bottom as well, so I can check on my peripherals without having to open the tent. It has minimal light leakage - mostly around the velcro and corners - but it was pretty easy fix. The lime green trim looks very nice. Setup was so simple that I only had to read step 1 of the instructions. Vivosun could save on resources by simply including a single sheet of instructions for the product you purchased instead of including a booklet that tells you how to setup every single tent they make. All in all, it seems like a well made product, though I have nothing to compare it to. I need to purchase a couple more tents and they will likely be from Vivosun.

I'm generally of the opinion "Buy cheap, buy twice". However, this is my first grow tent and I didn't want to waste a lot of money learning which features are important to me. I've since bought other Vivosun products and they seem to try hard to be responsive to customer needs (smart!) and provide quality products at an attractive price points. So...why buy a grow tent at all? For me, I bought an "Exhale 365" bag for CO2 augmentation, but had no way to keep the CO2 near the plants to do any good. The most important thing I learned about grow tents is that the tent itself is just the beginning. I also needed a ventilation system, carbon filter, clip fans, ratchet hangers, ducting material, screw clamps, lights, power strips w/timer feature, fan speed regulator, zip ties, and a CO2/RH/Temp meter w/logging feature. Another thing I learned is that most grow tents, are engineered to a particular configuration, but they don't tell you what that configuration is! It may be intuitively obvious to an experienced grower, but not to a NooB like me. My "guess" is that the Vivosun grow tent is made for an inline HID lamp and filter, but that's not what I have. I have two (2) Viparspectra 450w LEDs lamps that I thought would provide ample coverage..hung lengthwise. However, I now believe that at 24x48x60 grow tent needs at least 1200w total to provide the most desirable coverage and canopy penetration. Otherwise, your plants may stretch into the lights. I bought a third Viparspectra 450w...with the idea of hanging them widthwise, but I will need to remount the carbon filter and vent hose to the center support to hang the lights the way I want. This brings me to the fan. I bought a carbon filter, ducting, and a 4" fan from the hydro store. I used the Vivosun supplied straps to secure the carbon filter to the upper back left frame pole. I used a screw clamp to secure the ducting to the filter, zip tied the ducting to the upper back frame pole and ran it to the fan. The fan didn't line up with the 6" hole to the right, so I had to use a ratchet hanger to secure the fan to the frame and lower it so it aligned with the hole. I screw clamped another piece of ducting to the output of the fan which I ran out of the hole. The 4" fan is too strong for the 24x48x60 tent at full speed so I had to add a dimmer switch to throttle it back. That's another thing...it would be nice if Vivosun offered a 24x48x72 tent so lights can be raised higher. Additionally, this tent is not designed for clip fans...as the fat, plastic clips have nothing to clip to. I resolved this dilemma by removing the clips and suspending the fans with ratchet hangers (actually, an effective solution). I thought it would be nice to have squeeze clamps that fit just around the poles so the fans could be secured and moved simply by squeezing the clamp and sliding the fans up or down. The tent if fairly easy to set up. However, the instructions are quite terse. You really need more room to assemble the tent than a 24x48x60 inch space. Once the frame is assembled, you have to open the tent up, attach the top of then canvas to the top of the frame, then roll the tent to its side then upside-down to "roll" the tent over the frame. Zip it up and turn it right-side up...and you're done! The instructions don't describe this process well. You're pretty much on your own. This tent has many "options" designed around a HID lamp solution. However, if you're using LEDs and using the tent to capture CO2, it doesn't make much sense to have floor vents...as CO2 is heavier than oxygen and nitrogen and would leak out. The floor vents don't seem to make much sense for photosensitive species that need periods of complete darkness to flower. My tent doesn't have any stitching issues described in other reviews. I really like the high quality zippers and the overlapping flaps to keep light out. However, the stitching around the velcro of the vent flaps and the window feature can let some light in. I duct taped them all shut and have a very dark tent. That's the next thing...the window. What a hokey feature! The plastic is hard to look through and at a level for a child or someone in a wheelchair...not someone 6'2". My zippers meet at the upper left-hand corner. If I want to observe my plants, I unzip along the top and peer in when the lights are on. If you need to look at your plants during sleep time, and have a green light in your room, fine...but why not just unzip the top and get an unobstructed view. All the window does is let in light around the seams, so I duct taped it shut. I'm not saying the window isn't a nice feature for some, but I shouldn't be forced to buy the "handicapped" model if it doesn't meet my needs. Btw, if you can't go 12 hours without looking at your plants, perhaps you should forego the grow tent and spend your money on a psychiatrist, instead. The zippers are nice, but they don't flow all that smoothly with the light flaps on the inside of the tent. I find that if I run my fingers inside (to push the light flaps away) as I zip, the zippers flow much more smoothly. Of course, this requires two hands to zip it up. I really like the velcro strap to hold the door out of the way when unzipped. However, it would be nice if there were a second velcro strap on the inside of the tent to hold it in place as I try to zip it back up. As I mentioned, it helps to run your hand ahead of the zipper to keep the light flap out of the way, but you can't do that when you're like the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke...holding the door up top with one hand as you zip with the other from the bottom...and the zipper getting constantly stuck on the light flap. With all that said, here's my review... Pros: 1. Easy to assemble (once you know how to assemble it). 2. Sturdy and well constructed. 3. Vents close up tight. The tent sucks in about 2" all the way around from negative air pressure. 4. No light pollution once vents and window are duct-tapped shut. 5. The drip pan is a nice feature! Cons 1. Terse instructions 2. No discussion of necessary additional equipment or how the tent is designed for that additional equipment. 3. Short (a 72" model would be nice!) 4. No windowless option 5. No strap to hold the door in place while zipping up.

Heavy duty, and the gray looks a lot better than the traditional black used with tents which tends to make the place look like a scene from 2001 A Space Odyssey... Pricing is good and on par with the others if not better. Definitely would go with this again over the others.

Ich hab schon viele Zelte ausprobiert, und mit diessem, bin I h fast komplett zufrieden 🤣 Sehr geil ist, das man das ganze Ding rings um aufmachen kann. Auch geil, das es Fenster hat die mit geschlossener Folie ausgestattet sind. Ich finds besser als Netz vor dem Fenster wie beim Campingzelt , weil... Für was n Netz 🤣.... Sehr gut gelöst 👌 Ja... Die Folie als innen Schale ist bei mir verdammt knapp gewesen. Der Aufbau ist selbst für Grundschüler machbar. Bilder sollte man lesen können 😉 Im großen und ganzen.... Für den Preis ein echt sehr geiles, gut verarbeitetes Produk, bei dem sich jemand ja vielleicht sogar was gedacht hat 🤣entschuldigt bitte, aber ich hab echt schon viel Schrott gesehen. Reißverschlüsse, Rohrauslässe.... Alles wirklich kein Gammel. Ich hatte gern mehr Möglichkeiten um etwas an die Wände zu hängen. Sowas wie Zwischenstreben oder 3D Druck zeugs um Sachen zu befestigen. So als addon vielleicht 😉 Geiles Teil, kann ich nur empfehlen 👍

Used to start my garden every year. Great little tent that fits a lot of seedlings. I hung a multi spectrum light inside and ran a fan while starting my plants. The build quality is great and the tent is very durable.

Bought this to vent a resin 3D printer outside and it's ideal. Using with a Saturn 4, plenty of space for the printer and an extractor fan.
