AC Infinity, Spider Farm and Gorilla ...Grow tent opinions.

I have a Mars Hydro 2x4x5.5 a ACI 3x3x6 and a Melon farmer 2x2x4.
The Melon farmer's zipper is not very good otherwise the tent itself is not bad. Has all the accoutrements for such a small cheap tent.
The Mars hydro is a decent tent. Not real heavy duty but it works just fine and the zipper enclosure is well designed.
The ACI is by far the most heavy duty. The fabric is noticeably thicker and the zipper is pretty robust. I have been using it for almost 4 years with no issues.
One thing where the ACI tent is inferior is the reflective coating. According to the Migro channel the ACI is less reflective than some of the other brands. Seems like it was around 10% less reflective.

Vivosun actually has the best reflective surfaces, which is surprising to me.

I was looking at this one, I've never had mars products before..it looks like vivosun.


Are they any good in quality compared to GG or AC? Zippers, poles and canvas?

Both my old and new Gorilla 5x5 tents both have side and top exhaust vents.

Highly recommended, just be easy on their zippers.

Good one, thanks.

Vivosun tents reflect the most light. I'd share the video review if I could find it rn

There is a more comprehensive video, I will attempt to post it.

I've bought light line GGT, regular GGT and also the ACI grow tent. I have a vivosun as well. They all do the job !!

The light line GGT had a light leak on the zipper

The regular GGT was robust and strong. The cfm poles were expensive but was a well made product. I love the extension kits

The ACI grow tent was very nicely designed and I had a small tear. I reached out to them and they promptly sent out a new tent part (no poles) to fix it. I was just inquiring how to patch it. I also just received 7 new fans from them as a warranty replacement with no hassle. I'd have to say from this experience I would use them solely because I know they stand behind their product, not saying are better quality than GGT.

The vivosun was also very quality and I was happy with it!

No matter what you settle on get some zipper grease to make the zippers easy to use

I had no issues with mine. I had 2 lights and a fan mounted on the roof no problem. The tent performed flawlessly. That being said The Mars hydro is about 1/2 as thick both in the poles and the material as the ACI.
