I bought these to grow taller vegetable plants as well as some everyday herbs and veggies. The light hood reached more than 30 inches in height. I have only had these for a month and so far everything I have planted seem healthy.Only 4 stars bc the wifi does not work for me. I may be user error, I bought 2 units and after following the instructions for wifi set up... the wifi icon never blinks after inputting all info to connect... kind of a bummer.. but I can just set my reminders in my phone.

This is good product especially in the place where you can't plant outdoor and all year round. It is a good size too, it's fit perfectly at the table without taking too much space. I also like the lighting modes. I purchased this product as I love planting, I'm so excited for my hydroponic garden.

I bought a Smart Hydroponics Growing System several weeks ago, and I must say, it makes me more interested in indoor gardening. So, I purchased this Smart Hydroponics Growing System to have more fun. This Smart Hydroponics Growing System is more expensive than my previous one, but it definitely worth the money. It's more compact with more features. The height capacity is very impressive. The brightness of the LED light is adjustable. Also, it counts days.

I've recently started to fall in love with gardening. Once you're into gardening, you learn the hard way by letting go of your 1st plant since you don't know how much light and water, extra nutrients are needed. After the tough experience, I've tried to grow with indoor plant light but it was providing inconsistent amount of light and did not hold well. This product solved all the problems. You get your own pot, soil and light source in one shot. I've planted basil & Strawberry and it's been great. It takes a while to assemble everything, but the manual is pretty straightforward. Happy gardening y'all!

This is the second hydroponic system that I’ve owned and I like this one a lot more already. The lights on the other one burned so hot that it started to smell like burnt plastic. I’ve had this new system on for 3 days straight and no plastic smells! Also this system looks sleek and goes well with my kitchen decor. I’ve been growing herbs in a little plastic container so I’m excited to upgrade to this system!

Easy to grow veggies

I like this hydroponic system so well I bought a second one. Definitely recommend the GARVEE brand for Hydroponic growing. Love being able to have fresh salads year round and don't have to leave the house to pick the lettuce. Very convenient for the avid gardener who likes to harvest year round.

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.
