Hey guys, today im in the market for a 2-in-1 tent and im interested in hearing from people who have actually purchased them to give some feedback. I currently own 4 others tents from various makers in various sizes, but im getting ready to move to a much smaller living situation and the new place im going will only have room for one tent, so thats why 2-in-1 is necessary. One of my favorite tents has been my secret jardin DP60 propogation tent, and although SJ makes 2-in-1 tents ive read some bad reviews on them in the recent years so im actually trying to avoid their line for this purchase.
Firstly the 2 common sizes im contemplating between are 36x24x53 and 48x36x72, im leaning toward the 48x36x72 mostly for the height, 53" is a bit short for my flowering area, also i plan to do 4 plants in a revolving cycle and the flower room size of the smaller tent is only 2x2 so thats a bit tight as well. my only hold back to the larger size is while the 4ft width is perfect for the spot i have in mind the 3ft depth may be too large for the area- and unfortunately theres no way for me to know for sure until construction is completed and i begin moving my belongings in. There are certain brands ive found that have slightly different sizes, like yield-labs 36x24 has a 60" height rather than the common 53" but while 60" might be good enough for flowering the 2x2 footprint is still a bit tight for my 4 plants.
But besides the size im just curious which 2-in-1 tents y'all find are better quality, pros and cons of specific brands, etc. The brands ive seen with 2-in-1 options are vivosun, topogrow, growneer, and yield-lab. maybe y'all know of others, I own a 48x24x60 yield-lab tent already, its definitely not the highest quality tent i have, had quite a few light leaks that had to be patched but other than that it has held up nicely.. lemme hear y'alls feedback!

i just had a malfunction with my drain out pump and wasted about 7gals of nutrient water, it didnt look like that much at first as i only saw about 1/4 inch of water in the tent, but then i noticed it was wet on the floor around my tent, it seeped through the floor tray, through the actual floor of the tent, and under my carpet. i should be sleeping right now since i work in the morning, instead im breaking down the whole system so i can get the carpet up and dry it all out.. gonna be tired af tomorrow for my 12 hour shift >.<
it was tough finding a small enough container to use as a catch and drain box for this new 2x2 setup, what i ended up using is called a "sugar storer" and is literally designed to hold a standard size bag of sugar lol. i use 1 SJ monkey fan up top to help keep the led's cool and just keep air circulating and a vortex mini v8 oscilating fan in the bottom to keep good airflow around the base of the plants. bit of a tight squeeze but its all working great so far.
i always get reversable flange filters and reverse it after a year then replace the whole filter after another year. 30-50$ every 2 years vs getting caught cuz of smell.. no brainer lol
