12 Pods Hydroponics Growing System Indoor Garden Up to 30" with 30W 120 LED Grow Light, Silent Pump System, Automatic Timer for Home Kitchen Gardening, GS1 Lite

Everything grew so fast, faster than any of my soil plants. Why only 3 stars? Well, i had to relocate all the plants including the herbs as the device just couldnt handle grown plants.The multiple spots are iffy as if you fill all slots the light blockage becomes a problem as the plants grow. Easy fix was to not use 4 of the slots-so first change id make is getting one with less slots (but still the same size).Stick to herbs. I did some green onion, tomatos, basil and lettuce of different variety. The tomatoes grew so fast but also tried to take out the whole machine and had to be relocated as it was toppling out like a fish trying to escape. 1 survived the teansplant the other did not do so well going from a wateronly enviro to dirt and mulch. The lettuce grew but kept growing with browning leaves and were oddly very limp. I ended up using the lettuces for animal food. The green onion hated its time there and did not grow any thicker than a rough hair. The basil grew great-BUT it too is not too tall that the lights are damaging the plant. So after 2 months of growing all the plants but 1 in this device have had to be either relocated or plane scrapped.Overall hydroponics are cool! And they work! But if you actually want to do it, you need a better system. Better water pump and more space. The lights were actually really good. Soooooo bright though, id like to note that i did move my system to my basement as the light was blinding.This was a good tester tool to see if yiu like hydroponics but i wiuldnt recommend this to anyone i wiuld instead pass mine along as after helping me decide if i like hydroponics or not its fulfilled its usefullness.

Luckily I got more pods. Every single one that came with this ended up getting mold. (My camera would not focus) so wiped some of the mold with a q-tipOne had little white and clear worms in the mold. I have another system by someone else and had no issues with this.Other than that, nice small system.Update: 6/13/24So I started to notice little clear worms that form on the pods. I used new dirt pods and same thing. I noticed with this system the pump does not run and the pods get super soggy.I have another system by another brand and dont have any issues. No mold, no worms.I wouldnt buy.

I purchased this unit because it seemed it came with seeds but it does not, they have to be purchased separately, other units include the seeds as well. I will make an update once I buy seeds and test it out. Everything in picture is included with the kit.

This works as mentioned, plants are growing. But the cord/plug gets really hot. This can be a concern when leaving the house, leaving system unattended. I unplug mine when I leave the house, I work from home so I'm not gone most of the day. But if you leave for hours on end, you have to ask yourself is this work the price if it overheats and causes damage. Way your options.

I like the way this is made. Nice for the money.I have one issuepump seems to be really weak.

Light timer doesnt work, returned first unit, same with second unit so thats a bummer

The garden is good but you cannot see the water level so you dont know how much water is in the garden base all you can see is black would not recommend

So far so good! It's set up and working properly

I purchased this for my wife as she had it in her wish list. The product is compact enough to fit under the upper cabinets in a kitchen. It grows the veggies very well and quickly but with lettuce or other leafy greens, it gets pretty crowded and there isnt enough light for the smaller plants.All in all, its a great product but dont expect to grow something large in every spot.

The product is a great way to grow herbs and completely self contained. Be aware that the light cycles on for 16 hours and off for 8 hours. That is normal and nothing is wrong.I'll update my review once things start to grow.
