Gorilla grow tents have one big advantage over other small (5'X5' or less) grow tents. Gorilla tents come with a two foot height extension, 8' v. 6' for other small tents. You run out of headroom very quickly with a 6' tall tent. The RDWC buckets are 15" tall, the LED grow lights need ~1' of headroom for cooling, with a 6' tent that only leaves 45" of grow room for your plants. Bottom line with a 6' grow tent by the time all the height needs are added together you end up restricted to ~3' of plant growth. With a 8' tall tent your plants can approach 5' if needed.
One problem with a 8' Gorilla tent is no mid level bracing so the tent feels a little unstable to side pressure and for an old fart like me there is nothing to hold onto when moving around inside the tent. AC Infinity has come up with "Mounting Bars" for 4'X4' and 5'X5' grow tents that work with Gorilla tents and they make the tent feel more stable plus give this OF something to hold on to and help maintain balance went working in the tent.
The mounting bars are hard to see but they run alongside the 6' zipper seam. Now if Gorilla tent would add a controller mounting plate on the front like AC Infinity has or if AC Infinity would offer a two foot extension I could have a near perfect grow tent.
