Gorilla grow tent or secret jardin?!?

@prada242 , I appreciate the input. But by now I have already pulled the trigger on the gorilla 4x8. Be here in a couple days. I felt like for the price range of these 2 tents gorilla was the stronger more superior tent that would last longer.

Ich mag die Secret Jardin Zelte. Super Qualität. Dass man die Durchführungen für Kabel und Lüfter selber schneiden muss empfinde ich als Vorteil - macht die Aufstellung flexibler in meinen Augen und geht auch sehr einfach. Hier noch ein Link zum Factsheet, hier ist genau aufgeführt, was enthalten ist. https://www.secretjardin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/20220922-DARK-ROOM-DATASHEET.pdf

i know a guy in norway wich had no others choice but to buy a Secret Jardin Dark Street 90 DS-90 R4 90x90x178cm tent, he had to drill some of the holes for extractor and intake and use additionnal flench they sell to make it look and sealed better after drilling the holes. i have no clue if all there models require that you drill the holes yourself but at this point won't recommand

the pole sizes are the biggest key, imo. Smaller tents are fine with the slim poles. You don't put a lot of weight on those, but once you get to 650w lights and duct fans, definitely feel safer with more robust tent poles. nearly all of them will have some pinhole light leaks but should be sufficient to prevent confusing photoperiod plants in bloom. The shittier 4x8 - 10x10 tents on amazon are using 16mm poles that might crumble under the canvas's weight, lol. Gorilla tents are astronomically priced like you said so its hard to recommend such price gouging. AC infinity have thicker poles, but bit meh on the canvas. they gouge too, but not as badly. i'm not a fan of peak windows.. just one more velcro strip that can let light in etc. i prefer simple designs. how often you take it down may play a factor. if it sits in one place you can sacrifice a little quality on the canvas with less wear and tear over time. if it sits in one place for 10 years, that's easier to justify spending a bit more money too... expected longevity etc. i'd make sure the poles of secret jardin are study, and i'm sure they are a fine tent too. everything is a step down from those gorilla tents... whether necessary or not depends.

Yes @GMSgrows , thanks for the input. I am using a gorilla now for going on q year, it's never been empty or out of commission. 0 issues and no complaints. Although I am very interested in those secret jardin tents. Homebox I would love to give a go but finding them in Canada is proven to be tough. I dont trust international shipping and on Amazon the prices of them are astronomical

No experience with either brand. I've got a budbox pro 5x5. Decent price and compared to other brands I've used I'll always recommend them.

Why, because 2 of my buds have them, and havent had any problems in 2 and 3 yrs of use.

Gorilla makes a good tent.
