Anyone have any experience with these? I was doing some reading up on them, and am beginning to think it could be the most cost-effective way to grow tropical CPs for growers living in low hardiness zones.

I am curious as to setup specifics such as size, light setups, ventilation, CO2 control, costs, etc.

I was looking at tents like this one or smaller:

yes these work well , the reflective light and heat is great but heat with some lighting can be the only draw back , but can be rectified very easy , these come in many different sizes and shapes.
having one of these will grow great cp's , you chose of lighting will be the main issue here , you can install coolers and humidifier as well there is a hundreds things you can do , just like a green house , I have seen a clear front for these to to view in as well , , will cost some $$ to set up correctly but think well worth it .
