I'm considering it as an alternative to having to give up my guest room as I have done in the past. I also want to get away from the smell in my home. I grow my meds with two and sometimes three Aerogardens, not aeroponics, but the registered trade mark growing system. They fit nicely on a computer table I have that should fit in a growing tent about 3 or 4 deep by four feet wide by 6 feet tall. I'd like a recommendation from some one who is doing that now as to what brand is best to buy and why. I'm figuring on incorporating a ventilation fan at the inlet and a carbon filter on the outlet. I'd appreciate your opinion if you'r involved in this type of stealthy cultivation. Thanks.
Can anyone give me a recommendation on a tent brand?

I am putting a tent together right now....Can get a bit costly if your planning on buying it all at once.
I just got my tent 3x3x6 ft for about 100 bucks.
Then I need an additional fan, about 120 bucks for a good inline fan. I don't need a carbon filter, but the activated carbon ain't cheap if you wanna do a DItY.(still its cheaper then buying pre-fab)
I use a 600 w air cooled system, so I need fans for that and fans for the environment (outtake/intake).
I already have 2, 160 cfm fans. I would use for that for the environment, but need to buy the better and more powerful inline fan for the light.
I don't see the purpose on paying $300+ for a name brand tent when you can pick one up for 100 bucks, and reinforce the zippers. That's the only complaints I hear about the cheaper ones.
So when I receive mine I will be re-stitching the zipper with military grade thread before I even put it into daily use. Just pay attention to size of the tents, how many holes it has for fans, the sizes of them, make sure its metal frame and not PVC, some come with a table for it(you might want one with so you can ditch the computer table) and read reviews.
I use sites like amazon and ebay to shop for parts and things. I incorporate some DItY work and I buy pre-fabbed shit.
Its should be simple for you if you take the time before hand and think it all threw.
Good luck

I use a Homebox tent, they are a bit $$ but are made very well. E-bay seems to have the best pricing. I have or had a GL80 and a GL120

I run a Secret Jardin intense series. I chose this brand for a couple reasons. Number one was the layout of the in and out ports- make sure they will work in the space you have. Almost all brands have a different layout. I also took into consideration the fabric and construction- (I feel this is very important!) a high quality tent will get you something that is more breathable, durable, and light proof.
