LOL. White interior? Hard pass since the last time grow tents had that they off gassed and killed crops.

That was around 2009 can't remember whether is was polypropylene or polyethylene that was the issue. I had to deal with that for a while. Sold lots of 8x8 tents with guy putting in B-Pods in them on top of that digital ballasts that were giving off serious RF lol

The interior on mine was the same as most, reflective silvery material. My understanding from the research I did is that the off gassing was caused by the glue used to hold the two materials together, when heated. Had no issues getting a full refund and did not have to return the tent. Leaves me suspecting the seller knew of the issue.

I've been looking at different tents and kits, but I don't really know what is good and what is shit. I am leaning toward building a 5 x 5 out of wood instead and buying LED's and filters etc. Any concerns with the type of paint I use for the walls?

For paint if you can Titanium Oxide white its a one pigment white and very reflective. For tents cheap ones will have cheap zippers and skinny poles and thinner outer shell. I don't mine the Mammoth Pro tents. Ok price and thicker galvanized poles. I wouldn't spent money on Gorilla $700 for a tent LOL fuck off.

I hear ya on the price but Gorilla is just hands down better, cut and dry. 1680D thickness nylon. Most have 600-800D. Thicker metal poles and sturdier joints, you can see videos of people doing chin ups in the gorilla tents, and the height adjustment option(up to 10') means you could run a DE HPS in a tent without issues. Growlights.ca carries a "no name"adjustable brand tent but I have no idea how the quality is.
I don't disagree that their prices are out to lunch. Around $600 for a 4X4. But if I had higher ceilings I'd go for it. Oh and if I had extra cash burning a hole in my pocket.

Hmm for that much money I'd rather build it out of wood or use the extra to get better equipment or at least a portable AC.

Oh no doubt. But as far as tents go, they're the best going for the time being.

I would just staple the white side of black/white poly on the walls. Like 50$ a 10x100 roll or something. Or you could use Mylar I guess. The white poly is super reflective, I definitely notice the difference on the sides of my table that are white vs the open end.
