Secret Jardin DR II Pro120...think i got ripped off

[firsttimeARE]

Videos I see showing it having a reflective bottom. Mine comes with an insert thats black on both sides.

Also vent flaps show 2 on the site, but some videos online show 3 vent flaps.

I feel like I got the regular dr not dr II.

And it came shipped with a tiny tear in the corner...

Does anyone have the DR II and can confirm it is reflective bottom and 3 vent flaps?

*EDIT* Their site isn't even consistent. If you go to photo gallery and look at a DR120 II it has 2 vent flaps and a none reflective flooring. But if you go to grow tents>dark room II> and then brochure you will see the dr120 II having a reflective bottom and still 2 vent flaps.

I saw a youtube video from monstergardens showing 3 vent flaps...

 

[jesus of Cannabis]

you got ripped off buying something that takes less than $100 to make.

 

[firsttimeARE]

thats just like your opinion man...my buddy has a 100 dollar tent thats crap in comparison...CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP...1 vent inlet thats 6" and said it was 8"...the material is really thin not of the same as my jardin...and it has light leaks...my jardin(aside from the scratch, has 0 light leaks)

but a stout observation that companies make things for cheaper than they sell them...did you take economicz classez to figure dis out?

lol hostility everywhere.

I would try and contact the company but if your not getting any luck you'll probably have to do the patch work yourself. I knew someone who had a DR120 and I thought it was awesome! I went out and bought a cheap one, Brought it home grabed some tape to cover up the light leaks and it's worked Very well for me for over a year!

as for the number of flaps and such im of no help, which makes me wonder why I commented at all haha

Not everybody is a cheap asshole though.

I have the DR120W.

You do need to post more info though. Maybe the site you got it from, pictures?

Mine has (3) velcro peep holes around the 3 main sides on the bottom. Also it has a reflective "tray" i guess youd call it that goes on the bottom.

(2) intakes on the bottom, (1) exhaust at the top and (1) wire hole in the back.

There are a couple different versions of tents going around nowadays.

firsttimeARE...

My DRII has 2 flaps and black floor insert. You got the right thing... not sure what pic you saw but to be honest those 2 features in dispute are not a big deal IMHO.

And it is a badass tent -- enjoy!

I'm actually a nice guy...But this dude just rubbed me the wrong way with that comment, especially since I have a nasty taste in my mouth from the purchase. Which I believe is nothing against the company because the tent is amazing aside from these flaws. The tear is tiny like razor blade tiny. It might even have been my fucking cat that did it, not sure. She was behind the tent when I came in the room and on the opposite side of where she was was a tiny tear. So I dunno if she was like oh lemme stretch on this tent and then went around the back and thats when I found her.

Contacted the seller though. And its cool, least you had something constructive to add.

I got it on amazon off of a guy named Brazilee...I cannot find his listing but a listing by the name of neHydro has one up that says "Improved DarkRoom II models also boast enhanced lightproofing measures, more cord access ports, and even stronger corner joints. The new DarkRoomII tents do not have a reflective floor mat." But the picture for the listing shows (2) velcro peep holes as you call them and a reflective bottom.

I have a ceiling intake and a back intake both 8". I have (2) 8" intakes on the left side and (2) more also on the right side. I have (2) electrical inlets one on the back and one on the right or left side I forget. The grow is at a remote location so I cannot just get off my chair and look.

Pictures will be posted on my journal tonight(im thinking of just patching the tear as it took 10 days to get here and I fear if the seller does accept a return(hes a high rated seller so he must) itd day atleast 3 weeks to get it back.

A combination of their site pictures: http://www.secretjardin.eu/files/DR.jpg (if you check this picture out it shows a reflective bottom and (2) velcro vents one on the left one on the right.

But if you go here: http://www.secretjardin.eu/index/galerie/lang-en/id_page-135/ (and select DR120 II it shows a black floor mat and (2) velcro vents

Youtube video from monster gardens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSeL2dUyMRM (shows reflective bottom and (3) velcro vents)

And you're right they're small features. I'm mostly pissed about the tear to be honest.

*EDIT* The tent is a beast though. Very easy to put together, very sturdy...I currently have 57 lbs up on it and no bends in the metal framing, nothing. The quality is amazing...The dual socks in each inlet is huge. To be able to strap the ducts in place and then take the other covering and tighten it over it all is awesome. Did a leak test and 0 leaks from outside to inside(put a light inside closed up...walked around...nothing...Went inside and turned the light off inside and could only see light coming in from that tear.

Oh yeah, sure enough...

Well, the tear is certainly grounds for exchange! Although I imagine you're ready to get started, maybe the retailer will be kind enough to advance the replacement to you so that you can go ahead and get set up now, then just swap out the tent cover upon receipt of the replacement.

 

[bertiswho]

Not everybody is a cheap asshole though.

all he was saying is that you can make light proof tents from under 100 bucks and they work just as good as the ones you buy. because if youve ever bought a tent, i dont care how light proof they tell you they are, their is still light leaks somewhere. also secret jardins are garbage, get a hydrohut or grow lab if you buy a tent, i have both and they are great.

That would be amazing...Cause as it is, I kind of don't want to wait 3 more weeks...Seeds already germinating and will be ruined if I cannot start them soon.

Not boasting secret jardin but there is seriously 0 light leaks aside from that tear which is obviously not supposed to be there.

I couldn't sew up something that nice for that cheap for sure.

The materials are really quality materials. Similar in feel to my expensive goretex jacket.

And I wouldn't defend his comments as they were A. Not helpful and B. came from the mouth of an underprivileged "the whole world has everything better than me, and i'm bitter because of it so i'll make bad comments and call people idiots for buying quality objects." type of mentality.

You can get a ferarri kit for your acura nsx and make a ferarri, or you can buy a ferarri. But you shouldn't hate on the people who buy one if you're the former.

I had a Hortilux bulb replacement advanced to me because I didn't want any downtime; the retailer had no problem doing so when I offered to put up my credit card to guarantee I'd be sending the old one back. If they don't offer to do it immediately, just take their risk out of the equation by putting up a CC. Problem solved.

as much as you wanna beleive its 100% light proof it is not, beleive me when i tell you this, it may be 99% but not 100% light proof.
Lol, you dont have to sew anything, all you need is some 1x4s or 2x4s, white poly and some of that HVAC silver tape. its extremely easy. as far as jesus of cannabis goes, i dont find him to be like that at all, he is actually very helpful and pretty nice. so what you say about him just isnt true either.

What are you guys gay on each other or something? He was a dick in this thread, period. Get over it. We have.

 

[bertiswho]

why cuz i said he was helpful and nice. you sound like an angry person and your posts only solidify that, so before you start calling people names why dont you get the dick out of your ass and move out of your moms basement. fuckin kids on here are all the same a bunch of know it alls that get angry at everyones comments, your a douche.

We're all biased I guess...

But common sense tells you his comment wasn't helpful to my questions. And either are yours for that matter. Your comment was only to prolong the issue of whether or not jesus was in the right with his comments which isn't the point of this thread.

So stir up some drama elsewhere.

You don't know me, you dont know wbd, I pay my way in this world and if I want to waste my money as you call it on a secret jardin, blow a fucking goat you asshole. I work for my money. I dictate where I spend it.

**EDIT** And as for your way to shave off a hundie is not worth it to me. It'd cause much more frustration which isn't worth 3 hours of my job which I love to do. And I feel knowing my construction abilities would be less than light-proof as my tent. It may not be 100% because can you really make that claim about anything? But I can't see any light coming in with my 20/20 eyes.

and thats why your stuck with a peice of shit tent that you got ripped off on, you two keep blowing each other and getting screwed over becuase of lack of knowledge, and if you really wanted peoples input on here you would of asked before you bought a tent dumbass instead of asking people "oh no what do i do now, they didnt send me the right tent" you sound like a whiney 12 year old. fuckin moron.
