Been searching for the bigger sized tents and the prices are shockingly high. For a 10" by10" one could easly build 3 or 4 of these with cheap wood, mylar and ductape. Last one i buildt had the mylar caving in from the vaccume created by the exhaust, was about 4" by "9 ish to the price of aprox 100$. What can a 800$ tent do that 200$ of DIY can't, provided that the DIY is without air and light leaks?

IMO, nothing. On the plus side you can build in enough overhead racks etc f\to support all of your lights etc. If you can build it go for it.It's not how crazy I am, but how much I enjoy it that makes me dangerous.

Love the sound of that Bob, it got all the qualities prefered! I ounderstand why you are a fan of it, would almost think it was made for growing... The mylar didn't take much before it tore, had to patch it a few times. Also the mylar wasn't completley lightproof when direct sun hit it (had to lay it double..) so in all ways reflectix sounds perfect, thank you! The hose clamp used to join fan and vent duct has two "rings" where it can be secured to the roof or the top of tent taking the weight
