Spider Farmer 8x4 Grow Tent 2025 New, 96"x48"x80", with Hook for Controller and Power Strip, 1680D Thicken Mylar Canvas, Enlarged View Window for Indoor Hydroponic Growing for SF4000, SE5000, G5000

So this is my 1st grow tent so I can't speak to features that other brands have. Or what a professional grow tent is supposed to look like. But It check marks all my needs that this diy home gardener needed to grow vegetable seedlings and a handful of tomato plants indoors year round.The material seems thick and durable, I've had zero pin hole leaks through the material or zipper. I verified this with a complete black room with the grow light on "mars 4x4 grow light" and zipper closed. Has a viewing window. Velcro seems durable. It has a removable waterproof lining for the bottom. Easy to read instructions and easily built with a single person.Zipper is durable I haven't had any issues of it struggling to zip up or down. Zipper has a flap to prevent light leaks. And the door has strap attached to the inside to attach to the outside side of the tent to hold it open.Plenty of ports to run wires and exhaust. Different size exhaust ports as well. The ports have double pull string openings. Generates good negative pressure. When sealed and with exhaust system on you can visually see the sides of the tent suck and bow inward from the suction.Over head support beams are sturdy that hold the light. The tent itself is not wobbly but very rigid.The only cons I would say is that is the viewing window is mesh not plastic film. The air circulation ports on the bottom as well as the viewing window require some extra work to get them to seal completely without leaks because they Velcro on. I personally don't use the bottom covers as I try to keep it in the low 70⁰F's for my plants. But if you don't get the seal flush it crinkles and light leaks from the uneven sealing surface. It helps to have a second person put outward pressure from the inside when you attach it to get it flush. For this exact reason I don't use the viewing window but I'd rather just unzip the door and look in. I rather not mess around for 5min getting the Velcro reseal just because I wanted to see my plants. A 30sec unzip and re zip is more convenient for me.But I dont regret the purchase and I'm now a Spider Farm fan. I will definitely be buying again from this company, hopefully soon!

I bought this tent because its bigger and taller (28" x 55" x 80") than other 2' x 4' tents. It does not disappoint. There is plenty of head room for a light and inline fan and plenty of floor space for my 3, 5gallon fabric pots with a lot of room to spare as seen in the pictures.The cover fabric is thick and high quality. The seams are well stitched and the zippers are strong an sturdy. There are zero light leaks when fully assembled and all holes are closed. There are plenty of ventilation and utility holes and they are mirrored on both sides of the tent. So your not stuck setting things up one way only.Assembly was easy even for a 1st timer like me with average assembly skills. Assemble the frame, lay it down, unzip the cover completely, lay the cover over the tent, place the corners of the cover over the corners of the frame, zip up the cover completely, orientate the tent so the Spider Farmer logo is on the upper right of the tent and unzip. Easy. *Side Note* This assembly can be done solo but an extra pair of hands when placing the cover and standing up the tent won't hurt.Cons: As great as this tent is and it is great 5 stars for the $$$ and quality, there are some issues.1. This tent is BIG, if you are planning space for a '2x4' tent this isn't the one you want, as stated before itsbigger than 2'x4' and taller than others that I have seen so be aware or have the space beforepurchasing.2. I wish there was a better way to secure the door of the cover when its unzipped. There are straps at thetop of the tent on the outside and on the door of the tent on the inside and its a bit janky trying tosecure the door when its openAll that aside this is an amazing tent. 5 out of 5. If you purchase it you will not be disappointed. Great Quality, Easy Assembly, Bigger than other 2x4 tents

Sturdy construction well worth the extra money to pay for quality. Ive had the inexpensive brands and thought I was getting a deal but always regretted it because they couldn't hold the weight and or humidity. Rust and breaking so this one is the best I've purchased!

What really sells me on this is the dimensions. It is the only one I found close to a 2x4 with this height. I actually do not mind that this is more of a 2.5x4.5 with that extra height. I have another grow tent that is 2x4 but is maybe 2/3 the height. SO the dimensions were really important to me.Overall the quality seems really nice, the materials are decent. I like the window to look in. More importantly the seams and such attaching the materials seem well done. To compare, the materials on my other tent I think are a slightly higher quality and durability. HOWEVER, on the last tent the seams and sewing of the material seemed less thorough. That means it does not matter the quality of the material if the seams are just going to split and the threads break. For example the last tent only sewed the velcro on the ends not along the entire length. This Spider tent seems to have been sewn nicely compared to my last one, despite the last one having slightly better material. None of that is to say that this tent is low quality material. It still seems very durable.Now the only minor complaints I have are more about the design of the door. A lot of Tents kind of use this U door design. The problem is when you open it there is nothing to clip the door and it is difficult to roll (especially with the window). My lest tent had a double door and actually had an inner clear plastic door and an outer heavy material door with the reflective on the inside. So you could open the right or left side door. That was actually a nice design. That being said most tents have doors like this, so there really is no complaint, just maybe Spider Farm might consider a new door design for this size tent.The poles and connectors on this I liked much better than my old tent. very sturdy. I am very happy with Spider Farm and I would recommend.
