Know before you buy
Yes, the Gorilla Shorty comes with an extension kit that allows you to increase the height from 4'11" to 5'8", providing extra vertical room as your plants mature.
The 1680D fabric is the thickest available for grow tents, which effectively blocks external light and ensures your light cycle remains undisturbed inside the tent.
The all-steel frame is engineered for heavy-duty use and is rated to support over 300 pounds, so you can safely hang your lights, carbon filters, and ventilation equipment.
The tent features an infrared-blocking roof design that helps manage heat signatures and maintain a more stable internal climate for your plants.
The integrated micro mesh pre-filters on the ventilation ports allow for necessary airflow while acting as a barrier against dust, debris, and pests that could otherwise compromise your grow.
The diamond reflective interior is designed to distribute light evenly across the canopy, minimizing hot spots and ensuring your plants receive consistent light coverage.
