Could we possibly get some sort of picture update for the grow tents? In need of one or two soon and wasn't impressed with my last overpriced buy. Dr120, light leaks and loose sides.

Looks great sara, thank you! I can't wait to order...
Sara,
I hope you don't mind if I provide some early feedback on your new tents. I just purchased a tent made in China which is similar in construction to the MH prototypes. I'm completely convinced they are the best way to grow indoors.
First my likes:
1. I like D door openings much better than T.
2. The blue borders. I think "stealth black" makes a grow tent stand out more. I'd suggest making it look exactly like a fabric wardrobe closet if you can. Google for images of them. A colored exterior could be a good thing.
What I see that I don't like:
1. The doors need hooks and a corresponding D ring in the proper place so they hang neatly out of the way when open.
2. I don't think the 15cm ports in the sides are very useful when using LED lighting. If you want to market to HPS light owners, I guess they're needed. Mine are unused and in the way.
- I'd suggest placing the vents more in the back corners, inline with the exhaust fan. Maybe they only need to be 10cm in a tent using LED lighting.
3. The vent flap design is suboptimal. I want my tent to seal when there's neutral air pressure inside (fan off) and be open for air intake through a fine screen otherwise (fan on).
I cut my tent's vent flap off the outside and remounted it on the inside where it act as a flapper valve when the exhaust fan is active. I weighted the bottom edge of the flap so it would hang tight and (mostly) seal. Negative air pressure opens it, and gravity holds it closed. I recommend making the flaps completely removable with velcro on all 4 inside edges. Sew opposing velcro on the outside of the tent for a seal, and just one strip along the top on the inside, so the flap can also attach on the inside and act as an air valve.
A few missing features that your competition has:
1. Corner reinforcements.
2. A bottom slop tray. (Ideally with waterproof seams)
3. Double cuffs on each port. (OK. you're just not showing them clearly)
My wish list for my next tent.
1. A wire shelf at the top to support and mount the fan, filter, timers, controllers and cords.
2. Adjustable height SCROG supports with a screen. The fabric wardrobe shelving is pretty close to what we need.
3. A compact, quiet EC centrifugal exhaust fan, sized properly for the tent.
Hope this helps!

Those tents look good Sara, I'll be certainly interested once they come to Australia.

And conerd has some awesome ideas there and good suggestions to take on board. Especially all those ports that are not needed when running led panels. I only use intake low and exhaust high other than that really only need a power port or two. I did like his suggestion on more stealth tents also. Mine just screams grow tent so I have had to make it look like a spray booth

Morning all
So i've just harvested both my flowering tents, one of which was flowering under Mars II 1200w and the other under 4 x Mars II 400w
You're all welcome to come check out my journal to see what the second tent weighs in at. The first (which i suspect will have the smaller yield) came in at around 12oz, and here is said MJ in jars
The second lot are still drying and will be jarred for curing tomorrow
And i tried my hand at QWISO hash with the high quality trim from the harvest
So i will be interested to see how that turns out.
Happy Thursday everyone

I would love to ask a million questions about your tent(s). But hopefully you guys will update the tent page on the website soon.
When do you think the tent page on your website will be read?
Oh yeah, in case you were wondering, Dennise is a real person

Like grow lights, we will stock at a lot countries all over the world, at present, we only ship hundreds to US. other countries, we will ship to when we make some correct. For tent is very heavy, so we can not use international express like light, so we can only ship locally.
