Cheap tent has me concerned

[ChanandlrBong]

I bought a new tent on Ebay, 4x4x6.5 for 80$. Does anybody have any experience with these cheapos. I'm feeling worried about my light crashing.

Hi ChanandlrBong to 420 Magazine.

What kind of light do you have?

 

[ChanandlrBong]

Its a 400w w/hydrofarm reflector on a 4 foot light rail 3.5. Its a floor ballast. Its the regular size hydrofarm reflector with 4inch vents.

If its a floor ballast, does it connect into the tent at all? Not familiar with that setup, but it sounds like the tent shouldn't really be a problem.

Welcome to the site!!

Ok, hopefully it will be fine. I'll keep the thread updated about the tent. I'm sure there are plenty of penny pinchers that would like to know. They don't have much of a review system on ebay.
This is it here:

I thought about buying that same tent, I went with the lighthouse hydro instead. How is this tent working out for you so far, I might buy one sometime in the future when I have the room to expand.

You are worried about that tent? (Grins ) I started my first grow a couple of months ago and its about a thrid that size, lol. ( I have 4 plants in it and they are starting to grow over the lights and entangleing themselfs, ( bad planning) Just don't try to do too many at one time in a tent.

Cheap tents leak light and or fall apart fairly quickly - fabric tears, zips break. The old saying 'you get what you pay for' generally applies to most grow supplies I've found over the years.
