Would like to see Spider Farmer included in this test.

Ac infinity is a quality product tho, they have amazing customer service from everything I’ve heard and it’s not only about the tent itself but they by far have the best filtration system. Quiets fans amazing filters that are also refillable. I don’t regret buying it whatsoever I definitely feel like I got my moneys worth

I'll write it again, this channel and the reviews are pure gold, since as buyers we deserve all the options to make our investment in money efficient. Thank @migro 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

Appreciate all your testing on these products. Ive made purchases based on your findings and suggestions. Much appreciated.

I was looking for a video to compare 2 tents and I got the best video possible thank you

I literally just watched this same guy compare Vivosun, AC Infinity, and Gorilla tents. In that video he claimed AC Infinity had a -13% reflectivity as opposed to the -6% here. You can definitely tell these are sponsored or skewed results in some way. The last video he claimed Vivosun won. Here it looks like Mars won. I've had both, and currently have a Mars I've been using for the last few years. I can tell you from experience that the Mars is better than the Vivosun, but not by much in terms of quality. Mine is nearly wore completely out, so I'm probably going to upgrade to an AC Infinity tent next. Regardless of what this guy says, AC Infinity is gunning hard for Gorilla, and there's no doubt Gorilla has the most "industrial" build quality. The problem with Gorilla is price and lack of innovation. In short; those other tents are great in a pinch, but AC and Gorilla are leading the way.

I’ve been considering to upgrade or update my grow set up. I really wanted to get a gorilla grow tent, but after watching this video might change my mind. might just get the vivosun.

Absolutely, hands down, best channel for grow information. Thank you!

This is just Project farm for gardeners. Purchased the Aray 4 and will be continuing business with you for the transparency and awesome videos.

Thanx again Shane, great information for all grower's 'round the world.

Thanks so much for the review! I was thinking about getting a secret jardin but probably gonna give it a miss now

Thank you so much for this excellent science! buying a tent soon, so this really helps!

It turns out that Mars-Hydro has the lowest price and the best light reflection. Amazing tents!

Keep up the great work bro 😎🤙 much love from Pennsylvania 🥳🇺🇲

What happened to the spider farmer tent? Could you please show results with the spider tent too. Thx... and great videos.

Great information as usual 👍 I'd like to see the Newest Grey Vivosun tent tedted😊

Great video as always Shane!

Thank you for reviewing these tents

What white paint do you recommend for better light reflection? Matte or glossy? I want to paint the walls in the corner of my room without a growtent.

hello Shane, will there ever come a video with the chinese QB288 clones? LM281b+ and LM301?...they are one of the most used components for DIY enthusiasts and sadly theres not a single reputable test result.

I have only used a Secrete Jardin tent so can't speak for any other brand, but as far as I know it's the only one that is actually light proof since they have light traps for the intake. And Shane is right when he say that 2 ports is not enough but you can just buy as many as you need and install them where ever you want. The reason the other brand comes with so many ports and intakes is only to accommodate every growers scenario.

Any chance of getting a Bud Box or Jungle Room tent included?

My only wish is that Mara Hydro sold a 36” x 24” x 53” tent as I have one of their other ones which is an odd size (I rarely see it being offered anywhere.) and I really like it. I have zinnias, carrots, tomatoes as well as a few other plants I’m growing in it and I would love to get another but I only have a space for 3 x 2 feet unfortunately but I am trying to see how I can accommodate a 4 x 2 but I want something shorter. That’s the crappy part that all the brands sell the same sizes unfortunately. Thanks for the review on the tents.

ALWAYS DELIVERS! 👏 thanks Shane

100K Congrats :)

Thanks for the great comparison. Looks like Mars Hydro and Vivosun have the better tents by comparison on price and quality. I was looking into a new 3x3 and I was going to go with AC Infinity but this may have changed my mind. Videos like this are great because I think it's not easy to make a choice solely from manufacturers claims and marketing.

I got 2 5x5 mars hydro tents. The stitching and zippers are good quality. I do wish the tent fabric folded up better when collapsed but otherwise the build quality is very good at a great price.

Wish you could test db levels with fans running. Awesome videos!

nice to see you done secert jardin and mars ,great job

Super appreciate you doing all these tests! Maybe one day make the best tent on the market now that you know this info? the MIGRO tent would be siiiiick. Also will you update your lights with lm301 Evo diodes? thanks!

Consider that gorilla has a lite line that is comparable in price with these. I'm a gorilla guy, an extra foot in height and you can get another foot extension kit. I'm in! With 7'7" in total height I don't run into my light.

Good stuff as always, but I’ll tell you I think these dynamics change with the given model within manufacture. Recently bought another vivo and it was way flimsier then the previous bought only 6 months prior 🤷🏻‍♂️keep up the testing and can’t wait till you get around to nutes for hydro, lots to explore there, but keep it to hydro with coco as that is probably the most popular and if not still is worth exploring , thanks migro 👍🏻

Thank you for keeping it real this video, that last video had me run out and waste my money on a Vivosun tent.

What is the the light for a 4'x2' grow tent?

I wonder where the bud box pro would have finished in this comparison 🤔

Can anyone please explain how to interpret the uniformity results?..which has the best?

What about the new gorilla grow tents they just came out it’s about 150 bucks for the 2 x 4? Anyway, to do an update video with that tent in it?

What about tents with white reflective material ?

Im glad I went for the Mars Hydro 2 x 4 🎉🎉

Great impressive results Shane! I would *really* love to see a a weight support test, how much weight could be hung from ceiling until tent collapse. Thanks for sharing, have a great week end.

Really appreciate your videos 👍

Great job breaking it down, much thx🙏🤙🍻💨

What about the led white tents or is that just marketing?

Thanks for the comparaison Shane. The gorilla grow seems to be 6ft7" and not 6.11 (impossible that the one in your video is only 1m86, only 6cm more than the others, looks like 2m04 and with additional extension that I have I use a stool to reach for the top at 2m34, 54cm higher than the others in your demo). Bought it a few years ago around 150€ during black friday.

I’d like to see a comparison of gorilla and silver back from htg they both have the extensions for height

Are there not 2000 weight tents not just those 15/1600 weight tents?

Are the mars the same as spider farmers?

Nice video information....I am all about that saving on the buck... Marshydro here I come....

I’ve had a mars tent for five years now and the only problem I’ve found was this last year the main zipper slips on a section but it’s been easy to work around.

I have multiple tents from multiple makers and this late in the game basically all tents are created equal you just have to look if they have enough ports to put in venting or how the tent doors open up for your space that you're in but my first text was a cheap one and that's my go to Tent now out of my five other ones so if you had a choice go for the cheaper one because then you can take that money that you're going to save on that gorilla tent and put it towards a light the light is what you don't want to cheap out on 100.00 more towards the light makes a world of a difference but spending an extra $100 on a grow tent you really don't see a difference maybe things are a little bit thicker but longevity wise they last the same

I have two Mars 4x2s. Really great tents.

Thank you for the video. Very informative!

whats a good blackfriday deal to look for? looking for a starter kit. I was leaning to a infinity kit the 3x3 I like the controller But it seams they have failed a lot of test. But the more automation/ Wifi controls I think the better off ill be?

Just bought some Migro arrays and ac infinity tents. They might not be the absolute best products but the customer service and warranties are top notch. If you need help they got you.

Google is really ticking me off with the censoring for no reason. I will chip in on paying someone to just run the zippers until they fail. That's the biggest difference for me over the years. The really cheap ones the zippers fail first few times you use them. Light leaks through the zipper stitching is super common too.

i have a vivosun 4x4x6 tent and love it

I have an ACI tent. I just noticed the reflective coating on the floor tray is wearing off. I wish I'd seen this video before I bought my tent.

Is it possible, that some of the ridges on the diamond pattern of the Gorilla diffuses some of the light vertically or slightly upwards? That would explain the lower numbers, because that light would go unmeasured? That would also mean that the Gorilla would be an even clearer winner (if money isn't the main variable)! EDIT: 4:08 you can see the pattern there! That WOULD make some light reflect upwards for 100% certain!

Very interesting test. I am actually in the market for another 2X4. Currently I have an older AC Infinity 2X4 that I have used for drying, but it is shorter than I would prefer, so had been considering the Gorilla for the extra height. The GGT 2X4 is never on sale and as you note is a considerable amount more expensive. I do wonder if the lower reflectivity of the GGT is due to the additional height and light reflecting back up is weaker when it makes its way to the sensor.

Good day Shane ! Long time no talk, been Mia for a spell just existing and taking the path of least resistance these days 😂 I see a missing variable here - what about when exhaust fans kick on and create a negative draw and suck in the tent walls changing the reflective angles as the walls breathe 🤔 haha I’m just kidding if I ever had to worry about that I’d just breathe into a paper bag until the thought passed . I like my Vivos when I’m cutting holes in them and tinkering due to their cost. But as a stand alone tent that I appreciate as much as good furniture I like my ac infinity- to be fair the others I haven’t used but the two companies I do I haven’t had any complaints after about 25 different size combination purchases. How all is well 👍 almost ready to buy some of your arrays - just need to build my wood enclosure first 😩 the older I get the faster my brains wants things done and the slower my body wants to move - the struggle is real. ✌️ be well !

Nice I'm getting a little 2.3x2.3 mars hydro for veg tent

Great stuff! Thanks!

Thanks you as always 🙏

Can you test Phytolite clorofilla eko?

By far the best brand i have seen or used is Homebox, the only negative is the material is so thick and heavy its a workout just to erect or fold

It would be good to test out the white material compared to the silver mylar . As they reflect more light apparently. Appreciate all the testing you do it's useful info.

You have any codes for the tents? You deserve some money back for all the work you do.... And I need a tent

Well, I don't feel that bad now 😂 There are multiple options however I don't want to pay for trash. My first was a Nova off Amazon. (Priced similar to the Mars Hydro tent.) It was a great tent but only 5 ft and I'm 5'8" so yea. I wanted a 60" tent so I opted for the 2 in 1 Vivosun. It's a great tent but I don't plan on posting the Nova for sale. Oh yeah, I'm glad I dodged a bullet with Gorilla 😬

Good morning from the US! I appreciate this. I did research a few years ago and ended up with Mars Hydro. I do regret the thickness lacking BUT they've held up just fine over the last 3 years! Appreciate the details! You sir are a 👑!

I like my Mars Hydro tents, I have had no issues at all with them

So out of all your tests the Vivosun tents are the thickest? Even over AC Infinity? If so they must have just changed their tents and made them thicker because I own BOTH and the AC Infinity tent is wayyy thicker than the Vivosun tent. TO me that's the most important part along with the zipper and poles. When looking for a new tent I'm looking for the most thick with the heaviest duty poles and zippers. I want something that is gonna last since you don't change tents often and it is a pain to do so. Thanks for these reviews though! I've been waiting for someone to compare the thickness of the different brands.

Zips are good on the MarsHydro too. Been using their tents and lights for years.

Do a light leak test!! Please

Should have the "Homebox" there too! German producer! Its white inside and in my opinion the best tents you can buy!

Can you take a look at the Undrcovrlab tents?

10 out of 10 for my 2 mars tents. Wouldn't touch another company why all the mars hydro equipment is priced so well

I'd probably loose as I made my own. But I like it. Did my own rdwc too, so both are customized for eachother

Shane you should compare them to a budget ebay tent

Don’t know if it’s like that in person but on video u can see AC infinity Mylar isn’t as shinny as mars beside it

always had the feeling the Mars Hydro is a good tent, but never had comparison...def. good bang for book...XD just dont go for the old TS1000/2000 anymore.

I have a mars hydro tent..very good for the price. With lots of vents and ports.i also had a green finger tent which was good and cheaper still..lol

Very interesting results 🤔

WTF the prices of the mars hydro and the ac infinity one are almost double on the German market 😮

I have 3 tents. An AC infinity 4x4 a Vivosun 3x3 and a no name 5x2.5. The no name has a horrible zipper and doesnt even completely close. The vivosun is fully functioning but the zipper does not feel as solid as the AC infinity one.

Only one missing was a spider farmer model

Should've tested HomeBox as well Shane... brutal tents

WOW, what a price gap. $89 vs $289. does the thicker poles and canvas make it last 3x as long?

Which one u recommend for smell proof I’m growing some smelly potatoes yes potatoes

My secret jardin is easy to use with the fan mounts but its really low quality fabric, they have small light leaks through the fabric even brand new and the 16mm stems and connectors are really flimsy.

thanks so much!!!

i love my mars hydro 4x4. cant wait to get some plants in her soon! letsgo ohio!!

I keep seeing ads about AC Infinity. Are they really any good?🤔

I'll take gorilla all day with those height extensions

Isn't the thinner pole from Mars Hydro tents a little risky for heavy setups? But anyways it wins from its reflectivity and price

After going through several cheaper tents Gorilla hasn’t failed me yet. It maybe more expensive but you only have to buy it once.

#everyone this guy tests alot of lights , tents, etc, and he is 💯 legit with the test info.

I do like the MarsHydro 2x4, mine works very well and I also have another MarsHydro 39"x39" tent that is just over a three foot square. Good tents with decent height and features.

I love Mars 4x2, but my version has only 5 ports instead of 7, idk why, still so far this is the best tent for me

i always recommend spider farmer tents but HLG lights :)

Cheers bruv✌️🙏💪 ❤
