I've been using this forum as an info source for quite some time and would like to share some info in return in case someone needs it.
I'm in no way sponsored by /affiliated with /connected to Mars Hydro or its resellers. Just another paying customer with enough time to write a review.
Product: Mars Hydro grow tent 39*39*70" (100*100*180cm)
Date of purchase: Jan 2018
Package: cardboard box 42*11*6" (106*28*14.5cm)
Weight: 27lbs (12.2kg)
Made in China
Installation
All frame parts are made of metal and are fixed by metal spring pins, which make assembly/disassembly a walk in the park.
The tent fabric is quite thick (about 0.3mm) and heavy as it's claimed to be 1680D. Reflective mylar inside.
Heavy duty zippers look reliable but only years of use can prove it.
All frame parts are marked according to their installation place, so even a complete retard can connect them in minutes.
My inner perfectionist got a little annoyed by wobbly ceiling bars of assembled frame.
I was too quick to judge - nothing wobbles after tent installation was completed and a light hanged inside.
Allowed total weight of lights, carbon filter, etc: 154lbs (70kg).
There're a couple of errors in the installation instructions:
1. the ceiling bars H and J can't be installed as shown - H bars should go on top of J.
2. the tent canvas doesn't open as shown but we didn't have any problem with it on. I can only guess if working alone makes it challenging.
The setup is completed by installing a removable floor tray (tied to poles with straps) and attaching accessory pouch either to outside or inside of the right side.
2 nylon velcro straps for a carbon filter are included.
Doors/windows/vents/ports
All round vents/ports have double sleeves with cords and stoppers.
All rectangular windows/vents have mesh filters and removable velcro patches. The patches can be completely removed or rolled upwards and fixed to it's outside velcro if needed.
Front - main zippered door and window 10*10".
Left & Right sides - almost identical with the only difference of having a strap for the main door on the left and an accessory pouch on the right.
Each side has a zippered side door for easy access to back corners, 2*6" round vents, 15*7" rectangular vent.
Back panel - 15*7" rectangular vent and 2*3" round cable ports.
Top - 2*8" round vents.
Bottom - already mentioned removable tray.
Cons found:
1. Installation instructions can be improved to avoid misunderstanding.
2. Found/cut/burned a loose thread (stitching is not affected). Probably was missed by QC.
I'm really pleased with impressive product quality and great design.
There's no light leakage when all not used vents are closed and all the patches installed.
Really satisfied. I hope it's going to stay this way in future.
Peace
