Gorilla Grow Tent 2x2.5

This review is for: The All New Gorilla Grow Tent 2X4X6'11" - Tallest, Thickest, Strongest - Unmatched Durability in Hydroponic Indoor Grow Tents, 300lbs Hang Weight Capacity, Industrial Fabric, Reflective Interior I've been looking for a good grow tent for my atypical setup. I use Seville Classics UltraDurable NSF Steel Shelving 18"x4x75" and 2'x4'x76" in a 3 shelf configuration with the top two shelves each having dual 2'x4' grow lights underneath giving two shelves of 32.5" of growing height each. Up until now I have had to build my own grow tents, which does the job, but it doesn't look great and breaks down over time. The Gorilla grow tent fits right over my existing Seville racks with no problem. There was some extra space on top and I just put the box with the unused frame still in it and put it on the top shelf which now holds the top of the tent up so it doesn't sag. I don't use active ventilation. The material and zipper is heavy duty and the size is perfect for my setup. I'm very pleased with the size and quality of the tent and I'll be buying more.

Very sturdy, thick material. No light leaks at all man, love it. The zippers are great. Two thumbs up.

I don't write many reviews but, I had to take the time to say a few good things about the Gorilla Lite Grow Tent LTGGT88. I am a veteran of assembling grow tents of every conceivable size, but this was by far the easiest to assemble. I bought the lite line primarily because I don't have enough ceiling height in my basement to use their regular line. I barely had enough room to get this one in with only a half inch to spare. Compared to all of the tents that I have purchased from a very large online hydro store, this one is far superior. I like the shiny fabric and prefer it to the cordura nylon that my other tents are made of. The number one thing that fails after a few years on other brand grow tents are the zippers. Once the zippers are gone so is your tent. The zippers on this tent are the beefiest that I have found one any tent. I don't believe that they will ever be a problem. That is pretty much it. When the tent is all assembled it is very strong. Plan on two people taking about two hours to assemble. It probably could be done quicker if you had more ceiling room and space around the tent than I do. I love the tent!

High quality item, Gorilla tents cost a bit more than the cheaper options but you will appreciate the quality after actually using it for a grow. I started with a cheap $80 tent and it looked great when I first put it together, but after a grow the roof bars were sagging, the walls were worn and the cheap tent had a permanent bad smell. I learned a lesson and ponied up for the Gorilla, and after a few grows in this I am glad I did. High quality item, can't tell you how great the "window" feature is -this makes things much easier over the cheaper tents. I love the expandability in height although since I'm using a scrog I don't need the extra height. Would order again. A+ Update 03/16/16: I'm still using this tent, probably on it's fifth or sixth grow now? I always wipe down and clean the inside between grows, and it still works well for my purposes. Frame is still sturdy. The other cheap tent I had has completely disintegrated, I already threw it away. There is a *tad* bit of light-leak around the velcro windows, but if you are diligent about tamping it down every time you open it, it's fine. There is also a bit at the base where the zippers meet - originally a flap covered this spot well but over time it's stretched a bit and it doesn't seal. Neither are big deals nor are they deal breakers for me. My other tents didn't even make it this far.I would still order again, in fact I added a second one in early 2015.

There are many things I love about this tent and very few that I don't. I purchased this before returning a Growlab GL60 which is very similar. I was able to compare them side by side so if you are in-between the two this review will certainly help. Starting with the negative - 1. So the item came in the retail packaging... Meaning you will get a box with not only the dimensions and and brief description, but also two full color GORILLA LITE LINE stickers on sides. The black and yellow stickers certainly stick out when on a brown shipping box. If you are looking to be discrete keep this in mind. 2. There was a piece of metal rolling around inside one of my poles. It didn't affect my use of the item and I was able to shake it out once it situated itself, but I expect high quality control from premium vendor$. Also, I noticed that the poles used were identical to those of the GL60 (identical packaging, same thickness, same white powder coat and same labeling). I would be willing to bet they source their poles from the same vendors. Not a real negative as they are both premium options. 3. One of the ports was missing one of the plastic spring loaded deals to cinch the ports closed. Again, a quality control issue. 4. Only one load bearing support pole at the top whereas the GL60 gives you two. The way I understand it is the two lower poles support the weight of the pole(s) above. The GL60 came with a total of 4 poles at the top for cross bracing where the Gorilla only has 3. However, i'm sure they're both plenty strong. I was just worried about positioning my poles so everything can hang where I need it. 5. The port openings are generous...read HUGE! In this size setup I can't imagine anybody requiring that big of an opening. Could be a good or a bad thing depending on the person. Maybe better to have than not though. 6. Doesn't come with the pictured height extension! 7. A few loose ends of strings here and there. Could be better and again quality control. Nothing that scissors and a few minutes couldn't fix if you're that kind of person. The positive - So despite the quality control issues, the positives far outweigh the negative. 1. Out the box you will see that everything is fitted nicely into a carrying bag. The bag is made out of the same material as the tent. Reflective material on the inside and all. Its nice to have this bag in case you need to break it down to move or store it away. The bag also shares the same zippers as the tent. 2. The fabric is super heavy duty. Like a Marmot or North Face backpack shell. The fabric is tough and thicker than the GL60 but surprisingly not as rigid. The Gorilla is more like tough heavy duty fabric while the GL is more like super thick crinkly tarp. 3. Not sure if the diamond texture gives you any real advantage, but it sure does look more appealing than the normal mylar interior. 4. Instead of having three velcro windows at the bottom you get one at the back and two large ports on the side. This makes more sense as they are much better suited to making a light tight air intake. The two side vents at the bottom of the GL60 leaked light around the stitching and velcro which bothered me a lot. Also, as most people will probably have the back of the tent up against a wall it makes sense to have only one mesh screen opening at the back. Further, the ports cinch well and no light can get get in or out. 5. The windows are awesome! the only drawback of the windows is they have the fiber optic affect at the edges. Meaning there is a very faint glow at the edges of the plastic where it is stitched together. You won't see it unless you are right on the tent looking down at the seams.Don't confuse this with the glow of a zipper or stitching leaks, its not that intense. 6. The extra height and 1/2' footprint makes this thing seem a lot bigger than the GL60. The extra 1/2' in width was worth the difference in price alone! Also, the extra height is awesome as it gives you more space to hang all your stuff and it buffers the temps better keeping it cooler than the GL60 with the same equipment. 7. The top is a separate piece. I don't need the extra height and it would probably be top heavy if you added the extension with such small footprint, but its nice to have the option if you ever need it (!!!doesn't come with extension kit!!!). 8. They have figured out how to make it lightproof which is the MOST important part! On all the zippers and adjoining sections of the tent there is a generous lip made out of the same material as the tent. Seems like a no brainer but the GL60 didn't have it so there were all kinds of leaks around the zippers and stitching. GL60 had a narrow black fabric lip that wasn't too effective. On the front vertical zipper there is a double layer of material and velcro on the backside at strategic locations to hold the pieces together. They definitely went the extra mile on the front side and it works like gangbusters. All the extra flaps get in the way when unzipping it all, but the extra few seconds spent undoing the velcro and flaps is small price to pay for complete darkness. Oh and I almost forgot the outside flaps also velcro down at multiple points to keep everything closed up nice and tight. 9. Unlike the GL60 the floor liner is appropriately sized. It fits well and velcros to the poles without pulling the other corners out of whack in the process like the GL60. 10. Metal corners...nuff said 11. Reinforced corners on the outer tent shell. 12. Very smooth zippers. On the GL60 I was always fighting to align the zipper and get it started, but not on the Gorilla. The zipper is much larger, easier to get on track without having to stretch the halves together and it glides really smooth. I don't think they're metal but I don't foresee them breaking any time soon. 13. The little pocket on the inside is awesome! whatever little doodads you use routinely can be stored there (meters, loupes, shears etc). Super convenient. So in summary I wish I would've just spent the extra $25 bucks the first time around and got the Gorilla. Hell I was about to spend almost that much on foil tape to fix all the leaks on the GL60 that the gorilla doesn't have! I have to say I am throughly impressed with the increase in quality and additional features of the Gorilla over the GL for such a small price difference. If you have the extra space and $ to spare save yourself some time and frustration and go first class. ***UPDATE*** So I notified Gorilla of the missing piece and I received a response and solution within an hour!!! So although I questioned the quality control, that extra nickel gets you first class customer service!! They have set a new standard for me.

Perfect tent... I sleep in it every night.. Zero light leaks and easy to assemble by your self

Product is 200cm tall not 170 as stated in the add

Très bonne conception et grandeur. Peut facilement recevoir 2 grosses lampes.

Great construction. Seen a SJ DR90 and I like GGTLL way betta. Lol. Solid construction I mean solid. And easy setup. Few pin Hole leaks here n there in the stitches but those are expected I presume. Does not affect the tent. Nice dense material. The sinch straps could be of better quality and are kinda the weak point of the entire setup but again does not affect the tent and works well enough. The draw stings I will likely change to tougher materials I think. Not one actual complaint tho just feed back. :)

Ich wollte ein Gorilla Grow Tent, aber ich hätte bei dem Preis vielleicht schon misstrauisch werden sollen/müssen. Meine Frage an den Hersteller: Warum produziert ihr so einen billigen Abklatsch im Verhältnis zu euren „richtigen“ Gorilla Grow Tents??? Zur Erklärung: ich habe bei einem guten Bekannten ein richtiges Gorilla Grow Tent gesehen und war begeistert. Die Qualität war herausragend und ich wollte unbedingt auch so ein Zelt. Leider ist das aber gar nicht so einfach. Ich habe zwar ruckzuck den amerikanischen Onlineshop von Gorilla Tents gefunden und füllte meinen Warenkorb mit meinem Wunschzelt dem 4x4 Pro und weiterem Zubehör passend zum Zelt. Beim Check-out dann die Überraschung. Ich konnte mein Land für die Lieferung nicht auswählen. Alle anderen gingen dem Anschein nach, nur Deutschland nicht? Kann doch nicht sein, dachte ich mir und kontaktierte den Support. Die meldeten sich auch sehr schnell mit folgender Aussage: We don’t ship internationally / wir versenden zur Zeit nicht international. Als Grund wurde angegeben, dass die aktuellen Zollbestimmungen es nicht möglich machen. Was??? Im Chat habe ich sofort nachgehakt warum man sich für die Zollabfertigung im Empfängerland überhaupt interessieren würde? Da kamen dann nur noch fadenscheinige Ausreden. Dann habe ich hier bei Amazon dieses Gorilla Zelt gefunden und konnte mein Glück kaum fassen. Der Preis war so günstig, dass ich es nicht gekauft hätte wenn’s nicht von Amazon verkauft worden wäre. Leider ist es aber so, dass Gorilla unterschiedliche Zelte herstellen. Nein, nicht in der Größe oder so, das ist ja logisch. Sondern auch in unterschiedlicher Qualität! Die „richtigen“ (sorry ich weiß nicht wie ich die sonst nennen soll) Gorilla Zelte sind nämlich aus 1680D Canvas gefertigt, auch die neuen Zelte werden aus 1680D Canvas hergestellt und daher kommt ja auch deren Slogan: das dickste und stärkste Material weltweit. Allerdings gibt es bei Gorilla auch eine Lite Edition, hier erneut die Frage an den Hersteller: warum? Zur Zeit gibt es im online Store von Gorilla in den USADA einen Sonderrabatt, so dass das reguläre 4 × 4 pro Zelt nicht 400 $ sondern in Anführungsstrichen nur 260 $ kostet der Einfachheit halber sagen wir ein Dollar gleich Euro also kostet mein Wunschzettel 260 € anstatt der ursprünglichen 400 €. Das Zelt was ich jetzt hier gekauft habe, kostete knapp 140 € d.h. der Unterschied zum reduzierten Preis auf der amerikanischen Webseite ist jetzt nicht so riesig wie zum Beispiel beim regulären Verkaufspreis. Das sind ja nur 120 € also hab ich gedacht, ich bekomme ein richtig geiles Gorilla Zelt. Ich möchte vorab sagen, dass Amazon einen fantastischen Service gezeigt hat. Nachdem ich das Zelt erhalten habe und circa 5 Minuten nach dem Öffnen die Retoure eingeleitet habe, wurde mir bereits wenige Stunden nachdem ich die Retoure beim Postamt aufgegeben habe, der Kaufpreis auf mein Konto erstattet. Vielen Dank dafür und das hätte mit Sicherheit fünf Sterne verdient, dahergehe ich drei Sterne nur für den Amazon Service, das Zelt hätte nicht mal einen Stern verdient. Als das Paket ankam dachte ich nach dem öffnen, so ein Mist das Zelt fehlt es ist nur die Tasche und die Stangen zum Aufbau da. Dann schaute ich mir die Lieferung genau an und ich war total verdattert. In dem Paket war auch das Zelt, aber das konnte unmöglich sein, denn mit dem Zelt was ich bei meinem Kumpel gesehen habe, hatte das hier überhaupt nichts zu tun. Es war aus einem extrem dünnen Material. Wo war hier das stärkste und dickste Material der Welt??? Nun, wie sich herausstellen sollte, handelt es sich hierbei um die bereits angesprochene Lite Edition von Gorilla. Dies ist vielleicht der einzige Vorwurf, den man Amazon machen kann, dass aus dem Angebot nicht klar ersichtlich ist, was der Kunde hier eigentlich kauft. Für jemanden, der sich nicht so gut auskennt und schon gar nicht darüber Bescheid weiß, dass es unterschiedliche Qualitäten von Gorilla Zelten gibt, der kann aus dem Angebot nicht deutlich erkennen, dass es sich hier um eine qualitativ bedeutend schlechtere Edition handelt als die normalen Gorilla Zelte. Bedeutend schlechter bedeutet im Klartext, anstelle von 1680D Canvas, wird die Lite Version aus 210D Canvas gefertigt. Ich bin kein Profi in der Beurteilung unterschiedlicher Stoffe, aber wenn ich glaube einen Gorilla zu bekommen und es kommt noch nicht mal ein Schimpansenbaby an, dann ist das für mich nicht nur fraglich, sondern eher schon Ver…….! 1680D zu 210D ist ja nur 8fach schlechter…, nun ja. Das Zelt ging natürlich sofort Retoure und jetzt wird es ein AC Infinity Zelt, übrigens aus 2000 Mylar Canvas.
