I set it up and it Actually Worked

I really liked this little growing system. It pretty easy to use and follow the directions. I feel like it worked really well and I saw growth quickly and my herbs really grew quickly. It’s great for having several different herbs easily grown inside. The lights are super bright but not a big deal. The main thing I want to say about this is you should change the water more frequently than the directions say. I followed the directions exactly and my water got murky and the sponges started to mold before I changed the water. Obviously this could be partly because of where I live since it’s very humid but yeah. Just a warning for people. I think this would make a great gift for anyone who likes to grow herbs and such. I don’t quite think it’s big enough for much more than that but it is nice.

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this hydroponic system. It's easy, simple, and compact. This is good for herbs or lettuce that can basically run itself and be tucked away in a nook in your kitchen. However, the one button system is so annoying. It doesn't tell you what mode the system is currently on, only how to cycle through options. The button is by touch not depression, so it's difficult to tell if I have pressed it and how many times.I could not get the app to work and connect to the system. When I tried to jump through the hoops to their customer support it was frustrating and laborious enough that I just gave up because you don't really need the app. Although, maybe I wouldn't be struggling so much with the button if the app could tell me what is going on.All that said, it is successfully growing my herbs and greens. If you need a cheaper option and you're okay with the flaws as I have described them, this system could work for you. For myself, I wouldn't buy it again.Pros:- Easy to set up- Good for herbs and greens- 2 grow light modes- 12 or 24 hour pump optionsCons:- One button system is hard to use- No information on what mode it is currently on- App doesn't work, can't find system

Growing herbs

So we followed the directions as best as we could but our plants would just not grow. If we were to try this method again, we would get a more recognizable and trusted brand.

I really like this grower. I would say I’m a semi-experienced user as I have multiple growers. This one is a little smaller than ones I have. This one is a 5 pod. These use a square basket/sponge, that is something you’ll want to remember when refilling them. This grower only came with 5 baskets and sponges so a refill will be needed soon. The operation of the grower is simple, there is only one button. It will turn it on/off, change the light temperature, and turn pump on/off. It’s simple but can be complicated if this is your first grower. Most models have individual buttons for this but once you have it set up you really don’t use the buttons. I recommend setting up the grower in the evening, add your water, plant food (which is also included) and pods with seeds. Leave it off overnight, then in the morning turn it on and set to the color temp desired. Once that is done it will run 16 hours on and 8 hours off. Just monitor daily and when the seedlings emerge take off the germination domes. From then you just need to raise the light as needed and monitor water level. The growing system seems well made and works extremely well. I really like this growing system as it makes seed starting easy and good for anytime of the year. For the price of this unit it is a value, I highly recommend this grower to anyone who enjoys gardening.

Air pump is almost silent and light output is even and bright for its size. It comes with plant food you just fill the bottles and let the fertile dissolve. You add 5ml of each to every liter of water. There's only on button so you tap it long press to turn on and off. Tap once quickly to change light veg/flower. Tap 3 times for pump operation.After soaking the grow sponges and placing them in the baskets and putting seeds in each I take a small piece of sponge and lightly cover the seeds then place the humidity dome over them. It will assure the seeds stay moist.When adding the nutrient solution I make sure that the ppm level of the water is below 500ppm. This was achieved by adding no more than the recommended amount of 5ml of each part A and B to each lower of water. I set the light to veg (the brighter white of the two settings) now you just sit back and watch it grow, dding water on occasion in the fill opening on the lid.
