We decided to buy a grow tent for the house. The reviews on this brand seem to be solid. As our first tent should it work?

If you have an entire extra room in the house this would actually be really dope for an indoor grow

Well in that case, Good brand. Better quality for sure. If you live in a windy area make sure to secure it. I bought straps to put over to go across the top. Secured to the concrete stones that I used as a base. Regardless I live in a windy area and it still got destroyed!! Frame was good so I’m on my second cover, secured it really good!! Wind picked it up stoned and all, slammed it down and bent the frame. 1:rofl:
But seriously, if not for the wind I would get another. But I’m not going against mother nature. Good brand.

Ventilation is the biggest key to those green houses ive read. Looks like a good one. Please come back and let us know how it works out.

I was thinking the same thing.
Living in Colorado man the weather is so unpredictable. The plan is to grow both non cannibis and cannibis plants in it so most likely it will be split down the middle as far as who gets more space.
Being that they are outside I am curious will they still need grow lights or most likely not? The current plan is to start them indoors and gradually get them used to outside.
I have these strains in mind already this next growing season.

Airflow and ventilation in the greenhouse are most important. I start mine indoors in April then transplant them out in my greenhouses, in the ground the 1st week of June. The only way you’re gonna get proper ventilation in that tent is to cut the fabric or leave the door open. I grew 4 plants in a 10x12 greenhouse and it was crowded in there. Will the one you linked work? Definitely, but it probably won’t last but a season or maybe 2. If its windy where you live it might not last a season without some major repairs and upgrades. My 10x12 greenhouse came from Harbor freight I would not recommend. I had to reinforce it on all sides and the roof. My other greenhouse is a 5x10 dog run. I built a pitched roof out of Pvc and I cover it with 6mil plastic in sections so if it tares I only have replace the one section. If you go with a tunnel style greenhouse dont go cheap a decent one should cost you a lot more than $159. Either way plan on putting fans in there… If you live in a part of the country that has high humidity in the fall it can be a challenge to keep the humidity down. If you dont ventilate properly expect to have mold and bud rot issues.

I copied this from the internet
The main difference between a high tunnel (sometimes referred to as a hoop house) and a greenhouse is that a greenhouse is a permanent structure with some type of climate control. In contrast, hoop houses are only meant as a tool for season extension and are semi-permanent

I’ll second that on both comments. First off hoop houses are very hard to regulate temps no matter what brand. In the winter nights they get colder than the exterior and hotter than exterior during the day. You can add in fans and such, but I wouldn’t as a wind storm, heavy snow, or intense rain will have the potential to destroy it. Also being in Colorado tou will need to support the snow weight so it will need reinforcement. Now great part is in the winter it will help protect from the physical wind, snow ect directly on the plants. You can also wrap plants for added protection until it warms. But once again good brand! I did end up building an actual greenhouse that I can regulate temps in.

This is my hoop house, second cover on year 2. If you leave the doors rolled up. Wate gets stuck inside. We had rain this weekend and I just took a cold shower! Metal ben up front, and it’s ripping, had some strong storms.
