This tent was chosen specifically because my basement ceiling is too short for most full sized 4x4 tents. With the 2' extension I was just able to fit this entire thing with less than a cm to spare.
The material is sturdy, and no light leaks were observed from inside the tent upon first inspection. Light can be seen coming out from the tent when the LEDs are blaring, but like I said it's pitch black on the inside.
For this grow, the exhaust was left in the tent to quell the noise. It did a great job of reducing the ventilation noise from the exhaust and the fans. I will likely leave it out next grow to compare and give myself more space.
I put it together myself, but I'll be honest and say that I was confused on the orientation (top vs bottom) for the wall pieces at first. I ended up installing both ways to figure it out. And maybe I did it wrong, but the 2' extension would be nice to have on the same side as the door, so I don't have to crouch to look around. I may have installed that wrong as well though, I swore I tried to set it up that way though.
For my purposes (slightly less than 80" basement ceiling clearance), I will likely go with Gorilla Grow Tents brand if I ever need a full height tent again while I live in the same place.
