Hydroponics Growing System Indoor Garden: Herb Garden Kit Indoor with LED Grow Light Quiet Smart Water Pump Automatic Timer Healthy Fresh Herbs Vegetables - Hydroponic Planter for Home Kitchen Office

I don't know what else to say about it other than show the pictures. It took me awhile to get started. I admittedly was overwhelmed. But the set up was easier than I made it out to be. Doesn't weigh too much. It's sturdiness. Effective. I like the size because it fits on my counter. And now I have a full garden in my kitchen. It's awesome. Can't wait for it to fruit. I have been trying to grow veggies forever and I have never gotten this far before. In the soil they were always way to limp/thin, etc.

I am in love with this thing! I have a brown thumb and have never been able to grow anything to save my life! Thanks to this I now have ample tomatoes l, basil, dill, broccoli, cucumbers, bell peppers and more! I bought this on a whim when I lost my job figuring I should grow my own food before I starve. Everything sprouts quickly and the automatic timer for the light ensures the seeds get all the light they need. The pump works wonders for regulating the water and making sure all of the seeds get the nutrients they need. I love this thing and will continue to use it for a long time to come! Its lightweight even when full, and a nice size so I can keep it just about anywhere. Best part is that its quiet too!

Bought for my boss and he loves it! Very easy to set up a perfect size to put on counter and very functional! Well worth the money

Worked well for almost 6months. Contacted seller who sent we another light cartridge. That one only worked about a month. Wont light up. They contacted me after my review and promptly gave me a full refund. Nice! Maybe I just got a bad unit. Thanks for their customer service.

I got this going 3 days ago: I planted seeds in six of the eight spots... and they're all doing very well! I am genuinely impressed: it is quiet, seems to work just as well as the name brand and comes with ALMOST everything you need. Now, that would be the only thing I would have against this: it comes with absolutely everything you need to get started, from tweezers to peat pods to labels and everything in between... but there aren't any seeds. I wish that would have been mentioned in the product description: considering the price and functionality it is still a screaming value, but I wish I would have known there were no seeds so I could have gotten started the day I received this. Having said that, though, this is still absolutely, definitely for sure worth it: just make sure you get some seeds!

I only started using this 3 days ago but so far I’m very happy. For the price, I think I it is a good value. It’s much smaller in size than I was anticipating but I think it’s good for herbs and salad greens. I don’t think you’d be able to do bigger veggies in here but those are hard to do in hydroponics anyway. The light does cycle on and off without any programming. The pump just aerates the water in the bowl. It doesn’t Water the top of the sponge like the more expensive ones do. But, the sponge is wet enough from soaking in the bowl so it’s working fine. I did soak the sponge well before I inserted the seeds. I would recommend. I’ll try to post an update later as I start to harvest but I’m seeing all kinds of sprouts and it’s only been 3 days. Follow up after about a week: I deleted two stars because it’s now making a loud buzzing noise. 6-6-25 the seller sent me a new pump and it is working well again. I’m also happy to report that my plants are all growing nicely.

Just received this the other day, I was super excited to try it out. It was easy to set up, didn't look or feel cheap, I felt pretty satisfied and as I said, excited. I filled it with water to test to make sure the pump was working, ran it for maybe 5 minutes and everything looked fine. So I added my seeds and set it all up. After a few hours I noticed there was water all over my counter top, I thought maybe I had spilled or something (even though it was coming from the opposite side of where to fill the resivoir tank) so I just wiped it up. The next morning I came out to see there's more water that had collected on the counter overnight. I realized the small little plug on the back of the machine must be slowly leaking water. Its unfortunate that I cannot find a way to contact the company or get any help addressing the issue. So just be aware if there is an issue with your machine, you're on your own. Edit: I was able to find an email in the instruction manual it came with and reached out and received a response within a day or two about the leak. They promsied to send a new plug once they receive them.

UPDATE, 28 May 23, Appears problem with first crop was more about the seeds than the unit. Still there was a problem with the included seed pods that were left, but new pods worked fine and 2nd crop is growing pretty well. So I am keeping this unit. I think the $40 i paid is a fair price. I've seen the price vary and go up to about $58. Seems high IMO. At that price I'd check all options, there are many. I have this 8 pod unit and a 12 pods unit. A problem both share is once growth takes off it gets very crowded fast. No problem if you're going to replant stuff in dirt but not as productive if you're using these stand alone. Upgrading rating to a 4. Will update again in about 6 months to report how it holds up over time. Original Review - Bought this kit on sale when listed for $40. The kit is mostly plastic and feels a bit flimsy but if you're careful it should be fine. The lights and pump work as intended. I really like that the light array can be angled up 90 degrees. It allows easy access to the back row of pods and should make cleaning easier as well. But again be careful when handling. So far with the first crop results not impressive. Three of the grow pods developed mold and only 2 grow pods sprouted. Not sure if it's the system or the seeds ( no seeds come with the kit). I am trying different seeds that worked well in my other kit - we'll see. Noticed the cages for the grow pods are shorter than my other kit and the grow pods seem to sit too high. Am experimenting with some of the grow pods by cutting a bit off the tip - we'll see. Considering the quality for an 8 pod unit and assuming I can get the growing kinks worked out , $40 seems like a fair price. It appears its regular price is around $60 and at that I'd think twice. For now final judgment is on hold. Will update and reevaluate later
