Spider Farmer 4.6x2.3 Grow Tent 2025 New, 55"x28"x80", with Hook for Controller and Power Strip, Enlarged View Window, 1680D Thicken Mylar Canvas for Indoor Hydroponic Growing SF2000, SE4500, G4500

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 its bigger than 2'x4' and taller than others that I have seen so be aware or have the space before purchasing. 2. I wish there was a better way to secure the door of the cover when its unzipped. There are straps at the top of the tent on the outside and on the door of the tent on the inside and its a bit janky trying to secure the door when its open All 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

Very impressed with the quality. I grow extremely hot peppers (scorpion, ghost, etc.) that need a long head start before going outside. The fabric seems softer yet far more durable than other tents I've had in the past. The zippers are especially smooth and easy to operate. So far I have zero complaints.

This tent is made with high quality components. The canvas is extra-heavy, the zippers are rugged and have nice pull tabs, and the flexible design options make it very easy to cool and vent the tent as you need it done. The only downside that I have noted is that the door tends to want to roll into the tent (and thus, on to your plants) and you have to manage that each time you open the sizable tent door. On the plus-side, the height is very well considered in the sense that you still have around an inch to clear the tops of standard size door frames - this allows you to move the tent into another room without needing to disassemble it. If you are inclined to do it, you can grow taller plants inside this tent. Somewhere around 52" is the max height I would recommend as this should allow for 14" or so of distance between the light and the top of the tallest plant. The tent is over-sized in all dimensions and is a bit of an odd-size. I stand 6'1" and find it comfortable enough to work inside during the build. Once it was up and running and populated, it is easy enough to reach inside and move plants about. Every few days, I rotate my plant around the light, spinning them a bit as I try to ensure even growth. I use the provided mat along with hard plastic saucers which the plants sit upon. As I rotate the plants, I try to keep both the tent and the saucers clean. This isn't about the tent specifically, but I am tossing this piece of info in because it might be helpful. You are probably going to discover that your potting soil has small, fugus eating flies that will hatch. If you search for 'window fly traps' you will find some clear plastic glue traps. You can stick a couple of these to the walls of the tents and it will do a good job of wiping out the flies. (Your other option is to bake the soil at 300 degrees for 45 minutes before using it, but this may also remove some helpful or friendly soil-living micro-organisms.)

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.

I wanted the somewhat odd shape of 55x28x80. Rather, my available space and love of tall strains dictated this size. SF is the only one making this size, from my search. So that's a plus. I am very happy with this purchase, although there are cheaper alternatives by almost half. I think it is good quality, and if it lasts as l believe it will, all the better. I'm a tool guy. This went together in a jif though most people would probably want another helper for putting the tent into the frame, especially if they happen to be stoned... l found that the parts fit properly, were the correct size and undamaged. Despite the looseness of the frame (see Pro Tip below), the fabric enclosure fits like OJ's glove - l mean it is tight! Such a clean fit though, it actually adds structural support to the frame from the tension on all corners. Despite this, the door zipper works smoothly and does not bind throughout its entire run (indicating the fabric fits literall perfectly). This tent will NOT leak light unless you WANT it to. Time will tell if it holds up but the attention to detail like the full reflective bottom (same lined fabric) tray with velcro tie downs fastening it to the frame, the anti abrasion inserts on the corner pieces just where they touch the fabric, all-metal frame materials, makes it seem to be high quality and a good value. The fabric is heavyduty canvas obviously, bonded to the hammered-finish mylar. There are many duct and vent openings, all seal well. Lower side vents, rear vent, and front viewing port are screened and add airflow. Their velcro-attached covers grab aggressively and stay put. Ther are three moveable support bars for hanging lights and filter assemblies - one spanning the 55" width and two spanning the 28" depth. It claims to supports 140lbs. I wouldn't test THAT claim, but it will clearly support what you need to grow plants. And all closed up, at a glance it could easily be mistaken for a bureau or a big cabinet of some sort. Pro Tip: a wrap of black electricians tape above and 2 below the locking button on all male ends, will increase rigidity significantly. You have to muscle the joints together over the tape, but if you won't be collapsing the tent frequently, the effort is worth it. In the pics, note that this tent is all of its 80' tall., and is nealy as tall as my interior doors.
