Hydroponics Growing System Kit, 17 Pods Herb Garden with 102 28W Full-Spectrum Grow Lights & 2 Fans, Indoor Garden with Water Pump, 10L Water Tank, Auto Timer, Height Adjustable (Black & White)

Perfect for herbs, starter plants
This growing system is easy to set up and use, wonderful for smaller starter plants and herbs. Since the plants will only grow to a certain height and roots cannot be very large, it is important to note that root veggies and larger plants will not be suitable for this system. However, it is excellent for smaller plants and a fun way to introduce children to gardening.

Lots of seed slots!
This system is working great. There are a lot of slots to grow a variety of seeds and little flags to put next to pod to remember what was planted there. The flags are reusable and can be turned around to use both sides.Great way to start seedlings before transplanting outside for bigger plants.I have been using mine to grow lettuce throughout the summer while it is too hot outside

I’m impressed as my Tomatoes just took 3 days to sprout watch the water level
I had purchase a smaller unit from another vendor on Amazon and liked the idea so much that I purchased this one although I only planted 9 of the 17 positions because I wanted tomato plants and they need more space as I understand. The fact that the pump was just there and didn’t have any tubing to circulate evenly across the system kind of bothered me however based on the results that didn’t matter. Eight of the 9 plants sprouted within 3 days, the remaining is Parsley which I found out has a 21 day germination period so I still have to wait. The tomato plants have become seedlings. It’s looking very good to me right now. Getting the light period right took a bit. I set it up at night and so it wanted the light to be on for 16 hours starting when it was plugged in. Using the light on/off switch does work, though do not hold it long and it will re-sync its time window, I would have like more explicit control.Update: 2024-03-17 One complaint is that the water level window is useless. I checked it an things looked good however it started gurgling so I peeked inside and needed 3 liters of water to refill. Now having to add about 2 liters every 3 days. The grow light is wonderful however my tomato plants have now grown to about 2 feet above, I had to pull them around the light so they do not burn against it. I planted arugala and romaine lettuce and all of them have sprouted and are growing (including parsely and thyme), only 2 holes in back not filled, now how to figure out the lighting. I will probably buy another one just for lettuce since plant height is a consideration.Update 2024-08-26: The tomato plants are the only ones to survive, the basil killed it self by flowering (always pinch off the buds). Somehow fungus gnats have figured out how to live in this though they are now white not black, using Neem oil spray to control them. It wants 3 liters of water per day for the 4 tomato plants which are now completely outside the unit and sprawling across the kitchen floor almost blocking the back door. I’m not certain what plants I could grow in this that would stay within the unit. I had tried some lettuce, parsley, and thyme seeds however those did not sprout. The parsley tried however I don’t think it was happy with the amount of light due to the tomato and basil forcing the light to be it’s max height. As soon as the plants detected real sun light they immediately started heading that direction instead of staying in the planter area.

So much fun
Probably the best thing i’ve ever purchased. Well made, works fantastic. Lots of fun growing all kinds of things. Everything grows super fast.

I’ve been using this hydroponic growing system for about seven weeks and so far I’ve grown lettuce, a few types of tomatoes, pepper, and basil. Overall, it works pretty well but there are a few things to keep in mind.Setting it up was easy and the screen is bright enough to read without any trouble. One thing that’s a bit off is the built-in day counter. It doesn’t really track the days accurately, so if you’re trying to follow plant growth closely, that might be a little annoying.The system comes with two types of grow lights and they seem to cover the plants nicely. You can choose how many hours a day the lights stay on, which is great. There’s no way to change how strong the light is though. The lights turn on and off automatically each day which I actually like since it keeps things simple.One of my favorite features is the overhead light arm. It’s super easy to move up and down and can go really high, which is perfect when the plants get taller.The fan speed can be adjusted, which helps with airflow. But both the fan and the water pump turn on and off every 30 minutes and you can’t change that setting. It probably helps save energy but it would be nice to have more control over that.So far there haven’t been any leaks and everything feels solid and well made.

Works very well. Planted 2 tinyTim tomatoes and 2 Hungarian peppers, also added few pachoy and mint. Basically these plants consume 1L of water every 3-4 days. I also added seaweed extract for a faster growth.

This is an amazing starter kit for growing veggies. It takes no time at all to go from seed to ready to transplant stage. Going to have some great home grown veggies this summer.
