Hi Keltic.Hi All thread bump
I am just about to set up a new tent I am thinking of getting the gorilla shorty 225 at 2 ft by 2.5 ft. They seem to cost just more than 200usd. A pretty penny but thicker fabric and better built seems to give good reviews of grow tents. Most reviews I see are sponsored but the more expensive tents seem to hold their own. and get better reviews.
The question becomes, do I stick with the more expensive, I see cheaper tents like an Oshion 2 by 2 by 4ft. Or a Coolgrows the same size both of these are around 50usd.
I am concerned with being able to mount the filter and fan inside, I worry a cheaper tent might not hold the weight as well. Or last as long.
If the gorilla 2 b 2.5 was 1.5 by 2.5.... I would have already bought it. I need to measure the corner it is going in again. I am leaning toward spending the money and getting the better tent.
I wonder if thicker material would stabilize the inner environment.? probably not much.
Got busy with a little tent assembly today, took about 45 min, not growing yet. . . I still need to do the fan filter assembly and hang a route it all up. Then get the earthbox going with my LOS.
I did take a few pictures along the way this morning.
Nice tent solid feel, thick walls, and good zippers. One complaint! The center zipper zipps up from floor to ceiling. I duunooo? it feels weird and it not as easy to align as any of the other zippers, which were all pretty easy zip.
On with the show!
Tent Assembly and Un-boxing:
A pretty stealth box. I am legal but I dont want neighbors or building management to know.
The gorilla sticker has that brown tape over it, I like.
-
Here we have the un-boxing, well packed and in good shape after its cross country drive.
-
Hey where did she come from, she was in the other room but I could not resist
-
All the canvas parts out of box
-
Some tent poles
-
The floor laid out waiting for the support poles and base assembly
-
And here the base and support poles in place.
-
Putting the tent top on next, careful in the corners, work easy a little on each corner at a time.
-
Bring the walls up and align the zipper in the rear of the tent the zipper is slightly out of alignment here. I worked it over and started with the zipper pull on the top zipped the back to the left first then the right with the other zipper pull.
-
Work the zipper carefully around the corners, have the larger tongue on the inside and work the zipper careful of the little tongue behind the lower part of the zipper.
-
Smooth the corners on the inside taking time in the corners as you zip.
Here is a lower inner corner.
-
Pretty much done Here is the upper supports.
-
And an outside look --- Checking the temps and environment on the top outside of the new tent
It is a Gorilla shorty 2 x 2.5. I have it without the extension at 4 feet 11 inches. I could use the extension but i am installing shelves above the tent to store growing accessories. Just gotta see how it is gonna play out. I may remove one of the shelves and extend the tent upward.

One more of a hungry cat.
could not resist again.
Great review! Cute kitty!Here is a little update, I got the Gorilla Shorty 2 x 2.5. Nice tent, more expensive but has the look to last. The zippers are smooth as can be. I did a little photo journal of my set up. I randomly took pictures as I was setting it up. It is a long one, sry.
See if I can post it here:
Great review! Cute kitty!
