    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!Cons1. Terse instructions2. 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 option5. No strap to hold the door in place while zipping up.

    Nice tent, very sturdy, zippers sometimes get stuck if not careful.. only issue was the delivery box.. I mean the box was fine but no discrete at all.. it came in the original box clearly stating what it was, same with the fan I bought.. so the delivery person and neighbors might think I’m growing the devils weed.. cmon guys you can do better than this!

    Set up is easy. Build frame, unfold tent and drag top on frame, slide bottom part of tent under bottom of frame, and zip everything up. I did not have to refer to instructions, but this is not my first tent.It fits four plants nicely, but three plants gives you more room to work within your tent.Does the job!

    I have read great reviews regarding this tent, so after a frustrated run with another brand (lots of light leakage) I decided to buy this one. I received next day and it was quite easy to put together (took me about 15 minutes). Instructions were well written and the poles were marked with letters/numbers for easy placement which made it very easy to assemble. The thickness of the tent material is stated at 600D, hard to actually measure this however it feels pretty solid. The observation window is a bit to high for my taste since all I can see for now is the top of my LED panels, I guess once the plants get bigger it will be useful since it allows you to check your plants (you know you will be checking them a few times a day) without disturbing the environment, humidity, temperature, etc. The only other tent that I have seen with this feature is the Gorilla Grow Tent, but it costs $300. The ducting ports are well placed with a variety of options depending on you setup and there are two 4″ ones on the top and bottom of the back panel for cables and pipes etc. one 8″ on the top right and two 6″ on each the lateral panels (one on the top and one on the bottom). Additionally there are the meshed screen on the inferior sides. Finally the zipper: while shopping around for another tent it seem as if most other brands use regular zippers, these guys decided to go withI the SBS zipper which is of far better quality. They are large and sturdy, however a bit cumbersome to operate as it sticks a bit along the way. To solve that, all I had to do was run a white candle across the whole way, and now it works great, I think it will last for a while. I must say there are some pinhole light leaks around the zipper area. Not where the zipper connected to the tent, since there is a dual flap there to protect the light from coming through, but where the stitches are. Overall I would say this is a pretty well built tent. I had an issue with both of the cross bars, or as they call “hanging bars ” missing from my package. I contact the seller, and they responded very quickly, and were very friendly. Overall, I would recommend this tent for anyone one looking for something affordable yet well built to last. Make sure to check the contents of your package upon receiving.I must add some feedback on the VIVOSUN customer service team. All communication was done through email, however every inquiry was responded within six hours or less and they were extremely friendly and easy to deal with providing solutions for my issue. Since a lot of these tents are of very comparable quality (Apollo, Growsun, iPower, lighthouse — the ones I have) based on the customer service, I would surely recommend these as you know they will take core of any issues that might come around.Highly recommended.

    This is the first grow tent I have ever bought, so It’s not like I’m an old salt or something, but I am quite pleased with what I got for my money. I bought this tent to work as a mother room for cloning my medical marijuana plants. I have a commercial grower’s license in my state and I’m trying to build a business out of my home. I’ve got an extra bedroom that I use for a flower room and a cabinet in the living room that I use to root my cuttings, but I had to come up with yet another place to grow some mother plants and I needed it in a hurry. I got on Amazon and started looking for a grow tent. The most common sizes came in multiples of four, like 2×4, 4×4 et cetera. My home is small and my space limited so a 4×4 was out, but I didn’t think that a 2×4 would be enough tent for my situation. So I settled on the Vivosun 3×3 tent and I’m glad I did. The tent is a lot bigger than I thought it would be really. There is ample space for my diy flood and drain system and I feel like four medium plants will be very comfortable inside. I haven’t used the “tool holder”, but I feel like it may be a nice addition. The tool holder itself does seem cheaply made and I don’t know how durable this particular part will be in the long run. As I read on other reviews, the sock tubes for ventilation are very tight. I put a rigid 6″ duct coupler through the top hole on the left side and it was quite a squeeze, but I took my time and managed to get it in there without ripping anything. Inside I hung my Vivosun 440cfm fan which I think will provide plenty of fresh air to my moms. Unlike other reviewers, I think that the tube fitting tightly is a good thing. It will help avoid air and light leaks, and provides some small amount of lateral support for the fan itself. When I hooked up my “1200 watt” LED inside I did discover some pinprick light leaks, about a dozen or so on the door of the tent. I can’t imagine these tiny holes allowing enough light in for anything and I’m not even subtracting a star for it. You actually have to move your head around and be looking at it from just the right angle to even notice them, and even in today’s technological age manufacturing defects are part of life. Perfection is only a concept. Overall the tent seems like a good quality item, and it saved me at least some money and a great deal of time over building a wooden cabinet for my mothers. Only time will tell how well this will hold up but I am very satisfied with my purchase and I can’t imagine getting much more of anything, ever for the price I paid. I’m really kind of taken aback with what I ended up getting for my money and I wouldn’t hesitate to order another twenty just like it if I needed them.

    This is an amazing tent but there’s room for improvement. For the price this is a good mid level tent. It’s got great features like, being sturdy, great at blocking light out and keeping it in, and plenty of port options and space. But, there is a bit of friction and catching on the zipper which will inevitably lead to light leak, the top cross bars are not level, the door hanger is in a bad spot especially if your against a wall on the left side, and the cable management is only on the left so you either have to run it all the way around or out other ports which are luckily all draw string. Over it’s a great mid range tent for getting you foot in the game. There are definitely cheaper but they run into far worse problems and don’t provide half the luxuries you receive here. As a little bonus Vivosun has an entire grow system and full kits you can purchase to boost your start or expand your setup.

    I have two Vivosun grow tents. I don’t grow marijuana, just tropical plants. These enclosures make growing difficult plants so much easier. I wasn’t sure about the dimensions of this particular tent but I was working with a very limited space, and it ended up working out perfectly – I took advantage of the vertical space and used plastic coated chicken wire to cover 3 sides of the tent, and hung up all of my plants that were small enough. Humidity stays high and they also are able to get air movement from little fans, something that isn’t possible in plastic tubs and containers (which I also enjoy growing plants in). This particular tent has a ton of vents in it too, one on almost every side, so you have a bunch of options of where to run your cords in.The tent itself was easy to put together with the exception of the cover itself, pulling it over the frame is always a headache because they fit so snugly together. My only complaint is the zipper, but it may be more user error than anything. The tape (the fabric on the inside of the zipper) gets caught in the teeth a LOT. Usually this seems to happen when the door is open and folded down towards the floor, so I could just be a little more conscious of it, but it’s a huge annoyance either way. Regardless though, I still recommend these tents for houseplant growing if you’re serious about it and have the room.

But, there is a bit of friction and catching on the zipper which will inevitably lead to light leak, the top cross bars are not level, the door hanger is in a bad spot especially if your against a wall on the left side, and the cable management is only on the left so you either have to run it all the way around or out other ports which are luckily all draw string. Over it’s a great mid range tent for getting you foot in the game. There are definitely cheaper but they run into far worse problems and don’t provide half the luxuries you receive here. As a little bonus Vivosun has an entire grow system and full kits you can purchase to boost your start or expand your setup.

    I have two Vivosun grow tents. I don’t grow marijuana, just tropical plants. These enclosures make growing difficult plants so much easier. I wasn’t sure about the dimensions of this particular tent but I was working with a very limited space, and it ended up working out perfectly – I took advantage of the vertical space and used plastic coated chicken wire to cover 3 sides of the tent, and hung up all of my plants that were small enough. Humidity stays high and they also are able to get air movement from little fans, something that isn’t possible in plastic tubs and containers (which I also enjoy growing plants in). This particular tent has a ton of vents in it too, one on almost every side, so you have a bunch of options of where to run your cords in.The tent itself was easy to put together with the exception of the cover itself, pulling it over the frame is always a headache because they fit so snugly together. My only complaint is the zipper, but it may be more user error than anything. The tape (the fabric on the inside of the zipper) gets caught in the teeth a LOT. Usually this seems to happen when the door is open and folded down towards the floor, so I could just be a little more conscious of it, but it’s a huge annoyance either way. Regardless though, I still recommend these tents for houseplant growing if you’re serious about it and have the room.
