Pros & Cons
Pros
Zipper covers to avoid light leaks. Interior light reflectivity is excellent and the spill pan bottom liner is a great idea and works well.
And mars quality is much more appealing than a gorilla tent cost for roughly the same size. Surpassed my expectations on quality. Very nice unit.
Easy to put together (5 mins or less), i was impressed with the material and stitching. Tent looks sturdy and well made. Could use a little heavier pole construction or more bracing.
The reflectivity of the 1680d is incredible. I have 2, mars hydro reflector 192,s and a mara hydro tsw 2000. The packaging also calls this a 39 by 39 tent so it may be too small if you are expecting to use a 40 wide shelf or something.
Cons
There is no mounting bracket for the sliding/loose upper bars. Draw strings for ports are to small for the cord *, so * pull off if not careful.
Size of tent is loose fitting on frame, making it wobbly. The mars hydro tent is not constructed with the most durable materials. It has light leaks on the flat sides of the fabric for some reason. There not windows there just big holes.
Highlights
Quality
i was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this tent.
To me $130 and mars quality is much more appealing than a gorilla tent cost for roughly the same size.
However there is no rear rectangle passive air vent on the back side which i find unacceptable for a tent of this quality.
The quality is much higher than i thought!
Price
All in all i would 100% recommend this tent, don't let the price fool you on its quality!
Shipping
On a side note, my shipping box came damaged, amd one of my framework support (top bars to hang fan and lights) was bent.
Had problem but mars was amazing to deal with and fast to resolving the issue.
Packaging/appearance
I have 2, mars hydro reflector 192,s and a mara hydro tsw 2000 in the 4x8 tent again pairs with an ac infinity 6” in-line fan.
- also has many pin holes in the stitching around the seams.
Competitiveness
Very easy to assemble(i have no clue why others had problems), i had assembled this myself in less than 45mins.
Excellent marshydro 2'x2' (27x27) x63 grow tent.
I would only every buy marshydro grow tents.
I'm looking at six oz's (easy) dry weight.

Yes it has right and left side vents but everything looks much cleaner when it’s coming out the rear and gives off less light

The heat is just right inside leaving the top 3 vents open while the light is on 1212
