I have had 3 brands of tents. My first, I bought the whole setup. I also sold the whole setup. Honestly, I think you are better off getting a Gorillia tent. Remember, I have had 3 different brands. currently have 2 gorilla tents set up and all others are sold and gone. I have all different brands of light, vents, etcetera. I am nervous to buy a 'value pack' because I feels like it's just a starter and you will end up spending more money.

I’ve bought whole setups before, and ended up completely replacing everything but the tent. Do a lot of research and make sure the light will actually cover the area of the tent, and all the other accessories will be enough for the plant to fully occupy the space of the tent. Most of the time these all in one setup’s meet just minimum requirements to grow a nice plant.

Their tents are probably more durable than others, but also probably not worth the extra expense. So, kind of depends on your income how you feel about that. some people can piss away 1000s of usd without a concern... I'd choose a brand with stronger poles, if i had to pick one characteristic. The canvas will always stretch out at seams - some faster than others. Make sure you equipment you plan to hang is 1/2 the stated max load to be safe. I'd suggest using a room you can mostly light-proof so that the tent doesn't have to over-perform. And, stay the fuck out during dark cycle of flower, lol. Light creeps in through the ducting very easily. Put a larger box around the exhuast duct to create a light labyrinth or create a baffle etc... But a dark room gives greater confidence. Definitely need an exhaust fan. Look for "EC motor" - terra bloom or 'the company that shall not be named" has decent fans. Avoid those amazon no-name exhaust fans. They have limited power control and make loud noises after 3-6 months of use. Buy large enough that you can run at 50% ... it will be quieter and the equipment will last longer. A circulation fan is definitely helpful. You can buy any cheap clip on fan for that. I hang a couple box fans in a large tent, lol. You don't want direct, strong wind on plants. a little jostling of leaves throughout canopy is enough. lights can be expensive due to brand name and not quality.. i just went over how to assess a light in a recent (today) grow question. you can look up those suggestions without me retyping it all. Efficacy is king.. they lie a lot... there are ways to out the lies if willing to put in a modicum of effort and math skills.

Grow Strong Industries the parent company for gorilla tents, Lotus Nutrients and Kind LED's are shit IMO. I have used lotus before and did not like it at all. issues after issues and when brought it up to them "lotus" they did not seem to care. reached out to other who used them and same thing, bad customer support and subpar product. They advertise it as an all in one don't need anything else but not the case, overpriced and overhyped. same with their tents and use to be same with their lights. IDK about the lights anymore, they seemed up update that part but if it follows their trend of OP its not worth it. Better options out there if you look around. Lighting Medic Grow is good and cheep, some of Viperspectra or Marz is also good same with SF. almost all brands have a lower and higher end lineup. Get high/middle avoid the lows unless their lows are fire and verified. Check out model reviews on Migro "youtube" or coco for cannabis "also youtube" Almost every brand of tent as their own light as well, so search around, SF, Marz, AC, I like my tents to not have predetermined ports and I can pick where they go. modular is key for me. The brand I use and like is secret jarden, but they are a bit pricey. If its not on sale you are likely paying to much for anything. ask around for coupons or deal and talk to the reps. they tend to be nice on these sites to help boost sales/exposure+brand awareness
