MARS HYDRO 5x5 Advanced Grow Tent, 60"x60"x80" High Reflective Mylar 1680D for Hydroponics Indoor Plant Growing, with Observation Window,Floor Tray and Smooth Zipper for TS3000/FC6500/FC-E6500/FC8000

I wanted a tent on the smaller side for a single plant that wasn't too expensive and would allow for future upgrades and this is exactly what I needed. This is a high quality tent for the price, with a nice build quality, heavy duty walls and seams, rock solid zipper and very reflective inner lining. The tent's access openings are well laid out, allowing for cable running and ventilation. I also like the movable cross bars for light hanging. Mars Hydro makes a lot of optional fans, filters, lights and pretty much everything you need that are compatible with this tent so I know that if I need something in the future, I can easily find it.The only feature I would like to have this tent lacks is some kind of pockets for storing small things like pruning shears and other small stuff but I can easily keep things like that nearby so it's not a deal breaker.

I upgraded from a cheap 3x3 MelonFarmer tent to The Mars Hydro 3.3 x 3.3 tent, and it's worth every penny. Very well made, no light leaks, and the extra 3 inches on each side make a big difference! WAY better than a 3x3

very good product

Good materials, sturdy all-metal frame, smooth-as-butter zipper, and no plastic structural components like some other tents on the cheaper end have (like on the bars for hanging equipment). Took me about ten min out the box to have it set up, and I was by myself in an annoyingly small space lol. Only thing that took some force was getting the material over that last corner of the frame, but the tight fit adds to its stability and rigidity so it won’t get all sucked in from your exhaust fan pulling air out. Mars Hydro puts out good stuff! Just bought a 150w (TS-1000) light from them too to use in this 20x36x63 tent.

Not bad! I was worried with some of the negative reviews, but felt I definitely got my money's Amazon.Note: I purchased this for 74.99 on Anazon.The reason why I went with this tent instead of others was due to its height. Most 2x2 tents are 2x2x3 or 2x2x4, and I wanted to get a bit more height out of it than that and boy does this tent deliver!Set up was fairly simple after I wrapped my head around what I needed to do. Only took 15 to 20 minutes. Literally just look at the included literature, separate the different poles, assemble the frame from the bottom up, make sure the connectors on the rods are facing the right way as you put them on, put the whole frame on its side, FULLY unzip the tent, then I shoved the bottom on the frame in first, then you just kinda work it in nice and slow. Easy peasy.Materials seems great! The Oxford seems well made. No cuts or holes. I even accidentally scraped the end of an aluminum rod against the Oxford and it didn't even leave a mark.The mylar on the inside is nice and super reflective. Great quality! When you open your tent, make sure you put on some sunglasses! (Not joking).As far as light leaks go, there is a small amount of stitching between zipper and the canvas material that shows light, but they do provide you with squares of mylar that you can use to glue over those parts if you care that much. Personally, the location I have my tent will cut out more light anyways since the light has to go through a closet door before it would go into the tent. Another thing with light leak, is that you if you have the intake flaps on the bottom open, means you are letting light in anyway, so I don't think it's a big deal...The zipper itself is nice and smooth to zip up and down. Doesnt get caught or anything. Tine will tell if this holds true as this is the most "used" part of a tent.There are plenty of options for exhaust, however I would've loved to see an intake port for active intake as well. As it is now, there are 2 intake flaps on the bottom on adjacent sides, which is fine and you can feel the air pulling through no problem, but it would be nice to have an active set up for intake filtration. Now I have to get some square filters and figure out how to attach them to the intakes. Would be nice if maybe there was some sort of slotting mechanism for a square intake filter!The tent also comes with one of those water catch pans, and it actually stays in place since it has 2 flaps on each corner with velcro on them to attach to the poles of the tent on the inside for a sturdy attachment that won't move around on you.Some other things I would have liked to see would be a viewing window, a small tool pocket somewhere, slightly thicker poles (I don't think the included poles are bad, but without the tent put around the poles, it feels a little flimsy) and would be nice if tent manufacturers figured out a way to mount fans on the outside of the tents.I wanted to mount my fan on the outside to allow more room for plant growth and because having my light and fan inside at the same time didn't allow enough room for the light to be centered if I used the side exhaust ports, which btw, the ports could definitely be placed higher up the tent. There is a good amount of space between the side exhaust ports and the very top of the tent. Kinda wasted space there....So I took an aluminum rod and bent it into a shape that would support the fan (AC Infinity S4) on the top support braces and the top rear pole so it sits right over the 10inch top exhaust. If you are looking at the picture, the part of the rod with the bend is the part that is sitting on the 2 top support braces (the braces you hang your lights from) then the 2 ends of the bar are resting on the top rear pole. Been sitting there for a week now with no issues.I have a 100 watt SpiderFarmer SF1000 in there and with the S4 fan on level 6, I don't get any higher temperatures than 80.4 F with ambient temperatures around 72 to 74. RH is 40.

I love it!!!!! I was scared the 2x2 would be too short and thankfully I picked the 27"x27"x63" because it's the perfect height for 1 nice sized plants. It was easy to install without read the instructions 🤣 but I have other grow tents. I'm 5' 10" an it comes up to eye level and my pots are 13 gal tall . I have my exhaust fan on the outside so I can have more room for the light. There is some light that leaks through he zipper on the very bottom not it's hardly anything. It's be better if there was Velcro on the flaps but other than that, it's perfect for one nice sized plant or maybe 4 mother plants in 2 or 3 gal pots

Well made overall, no light leaks. Fabric seems this and sturdy. My only suggestion, really my preference would have been a thicker frame since the fabric is very snug around the frame. The snugness I like since it doesn't have those nasty wrinkles I see in some pictures. I also would prefer 2 more 3 inch openings for wires on the right side of the tent. And maybe another opening on the bottom right side for venting. Overall, not a big deal, I made things work. Everyone's setup is different, so I can't expect too much from the manufacturer. I reinforced the corners to add addition support.
