AC Infinity CLOUDLAB 632D 2-in-1 Advance Grow Tent, 36”x24”x72” Thickest 1 in. Poles, Highest Density 2000D Diamond Mylar Canvas, 3×2 for Hydroponics Indoor Growing

This review is specifically for the 60″ x 48″ x 80″ tent. (5′ X 4′)The first thing to mention about this grow tent is the outstanding build quality. The material is top notch, and the zippers are what I would call “Marine Grade” after having lived on a sailboat before. The failure point of any grow tent is probably going to be the zippers (or the seams), and it seems that AC Infinity didn’t cut any corners on the quality of these zippers. Now on to the nitty gritty . . .- Building was straightforward and instructions were clear, however you will definitely need two people to get the cover over the frame, unless you have a fetish for getting frustrated and inventing new curse words. With two people though, it slides on easily once you figure out which way is up.- The metal poles are really robust, way better than those on my previous “Vivosun” tent.- This comes with 3 long and 2 short hanging bars which are easy to move around in various positions depending on whatever you want to hang. I found them to be strong enough to hold a pretty big fan motor and equipment without any stress.- The assortment of vent holes available is well thought out. . . 6″ and 8″ on the top, four 4″ on the back (two on top, two on the bottom), two 6″ on the left (top and bottom). And each vent hole has a drawstring cinch on BOTH sides for an air-tight and air-tight seal. When not using them, just pull them both shut and it seals well.- The viewing windows are made with nice quality CLEAR thick plastic, and the velcro cover shades block off the light perfectly and the velcro is like industrial grade quality (again, leagues above the Vivosun and others I have seen).- My only main complaint, and the thing I wish I would have understood . . . This tent is designed to be in two sections, the main grow area on the left (4′ X 4′), and the “seedling” area on the right (1′ X 4′) with its own viewing windows and access zipper. If you intend to use it like this, AS PICTURED, then you are going to love this design. But for me, I really only wanted a 5′ X 6′ tent because that was exactly the space I had, and this was the only 5′ X 6′ tent that I could find that was a quality tent. The panel separating the main area from the smaller seedling area is optional, as it just attaches with velcro. But with that gone, you are left with a 4′ pole on the floor running from the front to the back, making it awkward if putting plants on the floor there. Removing it would require cutting off the 3-way “T” that connects it to the frame. Additionally, the shelf in the middle is not optional and not adjustable, unless you again cut the 3-way “T” on the frame with a hacksaw. While I appreciate the intention of this design, the lack of adjustability on this shelf is a boner killer. There is enough height to add at least one or maybe two more shelves for smaller seedlings, but there is no built-in way to attach additional shelves. Clearly it was designed to give seedlings to grow up a bit. I built it as designed to start with, but I will probably wind up cutting off that shelf with a saw or leaving there and attaching another shelf to hold more smaller plants.- For anyone who happens to want to use this for primarily smaller plants, I found that I was able to put a shelving unit that measured 18″ D×48″ W×72″ H on the left side, after cutting off 2.5″ from the top of the shelf corner poles. The width of the shelf EXACTLY matches the width of the tent frame, so the feet of the shelf rest on the frame supports. This is actually perfect, as it means the shelf feet are not on the floor fabric. I fixed the shelf securely to the frame with a bunch of zip ties. This is the shelf I used:B08XQFG5RR- As for value, if you like the tent as designed, you get what you pay for. But clearly there is an added cost to having the separate section with the divider fabric, frame, and additional shelf. If you don’t need that, then this seems a bit overpriced. I wish AC offered this exact same size tent without that feature.Overall, while I was a little frustrated with the design for my specific needs, this is a FANTASTIC tent that looks great and meets my needs. I would definitely buy another AC Infinity tent, this is leagues above my previous Vivosun tent. [...]
