Hydroponics Growing System Garden: 8 Pods Indoor Herb Garden with Grow Light Plants Germination Kit Quiet Automatic Hydroponic Height Adjustable - Gardening Gifts for Women Kitchen White

I purchased this for a ladies planting night with my church. We had a great time, and the planting was so easy with this! The light turns on for about 12 hours each day to give the plants “daylight”, and the water seems to be moving in the tank to give water to the “pods”. I am not a gardener by any stretch of the imagination, but my plants are growing! After submitting this review, the water pump started making a buzzing sound. I called for support and Amazon sent a new one. Guess what…after a few weeks, it started doing the same thing!

At first, the number of items to unpack and learn about was daunting, but after getting familiar in a few minutes, it all made sense and was simple to proceed with. The design is very thorough and comes with everything you need, down to the finest detail. They even provided a quick start guide that is laminated so any drips of water won’t ruin it. One tip I figured out is to use the little domes upside down filled with water to soak your seeds. And place all the domes side by side in one bowl to protect them while soaking, and remember to label them around the bowl while soaking. This keeps the varieties separately identified and safe. The price for everything that you get is very economical and inexpensive. I also figured out after the first day, to power it up at a time that is in sync with real sunrise so that the plants will get some darkness while the natural sun is down. Also, the vegetable light setting is very bright so setting the 18 hours on during daytime hours is best for less disturbance in the home. I even found a room to keep it in where we don’t live to shut out the brightness. The unit is very very quiet. To hear the pump, you have to put your ear next to the unit and listen carefully. This product is so well designed and made that I can’t be more impressed. And, for the lower price, I am stunned and do very much recommend this to anyone wanting fresh herbs, especially in the winter months as was my reason for hydroponic-ing. Edit: The marker stakes did not fit in the side holes. And the stickers covered too much surface to be useful.

This worked very well for me at first until the pump died and stopped circulating water. However, the company’s customer service was amazing and gave me a refund outside of the return window. I will buy again and give it another try.

Worked well for a few months until the pump motor burned out. Theres no replacements and no way to contact the company to get a new one so now its just trash

I’ve had my hydroponic garden for about 6 months, it’s been very good to me. And has been very fruitful in my growing efforts. Makes propagation super easy too! The only reason I give it 4 stars is because… -there are bigger hydroponic systems, the holes on this one are so compact that you can’t really put something in every one. (Great if you’re doing a few things or smaller projects, but my herbs took it over way too quickly) I will likely keep using this one just for propagations. -⚠️my pump has already died. And I’m having a difficult time finding a replacement for this specific one -there are so many little indents and crannies in the inside it’s difficult to wash every corner super well (so getting this algae out after my pump died has been quite the challenge)
