Hydro Crunch Hydroponic Grow Tent, 16" x 16" x 48"

Update: my first review was directly after setting up the tent. My humidity goes up to almost 99% (highest I've seen is 98%). Still use it for my tropicals which they love! The hems on the inside get moldy on the fabric part so I'll probably be wiping that with fungicide but the zippers still work! I write on the windows to update what needs done. I added some shelves to maximize space (2nd photo is updated). My only concern is the bottom pools water from me watering so I'm hoping that it prevents water from leaking out. So far I haven't felt any wet spots and the pools of water inside are consistent. I also have multiple barriers between the floor and the tent including a 1/6th inch thick plastic tarp and floor tile spacers so it should be okay even if it does leak. First review: I love this tent! I use it for my tropicals that need the high humidity/or are not acclimated to my ambient. I have a humidifier inside, gets to a max of 82% and will drop to about 62% if I don't run it for a couple days. I got it on sale for $90 and it was defenitely worth it. The velcro is strong and them hems on the inside are a bit wacky but it works as intended. It reflects the purple lights on the inside well. The size was perfect to replace a table I had in the same space. It was tough to assemble in the small space but was easier to accomplish with two other people.

Setting up this tent was very straightforward! It works as described. I would recommend this product!!!

NOT LIGHT PROOF! This tent will not work for flowering unless you cover it or keep lights off in room it's in. Light does leak through every stitching, vent hole & zipper. NOW LET ME EXPLAIN MY 4 STAR REVIEW. I ordered this tent before reading the reviews & almost canceled once I did. However my situation is different & this tent works well in my case. I put this tent inside of a existing spare shower stall 2.3' x 2.3' so I throw a blanket over it on one side & its light proof for me. However if this isnt a opinion you shouldn't try to flower in it. It arrived complete, undamaged & was easy to understand & put together. The zippers could be a problem if your not gentle & will probably have to be replaced at some point. I've been extra careful because of what others said about the zippers- no problems so far being super careful. All around not a bad deal- is it the best quality! NO! But its price reflects that so...ya in my situation being 3 sides of the tent would never have access to light from the outside it works well & I got what I paid for. I had to place the tent in the small space and get inside the tent to put the frame together from the inside. 🤪

So 1 month into using the tent and have found out the main front door zipper takes around 20 minutes to zip up. You have to completely unzip both doors and try to line the zipper up really good to get the zipper to work. Once I move plants I will order a different brand 8x8 tent to replace this because zipper will not last another 2 weeks. Planned on using this as a flowering tent but it has way to many light leaks, would work okay for veggie tent if your zipper lasts longer than mine. I open the tent twice a day and my other 3 tents that are way older are working perfect. Was my first Hydro Crunch product and my very last. Tent went up very easy and seems to be strong inside (I have 8" carbon filter/exhaust, 8" light exhaust, 8" intake, 6" ac/heat and 4 double ended HPS lights and all seems well). Big issues to me is the vents are single layered and every seam lets light in and zippers are crap.

Roomy

Worst front door design by far but if you can get by that problem it flowers plants really well it's not made very well only single vent openings but for the money if you have the right place for it it will work fine don't think you can put it in a lit room and keep the light out actually I've never seen a tent that can but most will beat this One

Love it.

It is exactly what I needed Good product
