Ahopegarden Hydroponics Growing System: 12 Pods Indoor Herb Garden with LED | Plant Germination Kit with LED Grow Light，Countertop Herb Garden, Hydrophonic Planter Grower Harvest Vegetables Lettuce

Love it. Easy to assemble and use. Grows plants quickly and well. Need a funnel to fill water and when adding nutrients. Instuction Manuel needs a little more information.

This product is a great value for the money. It is easy to set up, and my plants sprouted very quickly and provided me with months of great tomatoes. What makes this indoor garden extraordinary, however, is the customer service. When I first received my indoor garden, water wasn't circulating. I reached out to Ahopegarden and they sent me a new water pump, which fixed the problem. Recently, I burned out the water pump (they don't keep working if there's no water in the reservoir). It was my fault, I looked for a replacement pump, but couldn't find one that fit anywhere. So, I contacted Ahopegarden to see if I could buy a new pump from them. They said they were out of stock on those water pumps, so they sent me a whole new unit!!!!! I'd give them 10 stars if I could!

I tried out the hydroponic garden as my outdoor gardening efforts are always hampered by chipmunks and other critters.Set up was simple. Unit is space efficient to easily fit our counter. Our first batch is exclusively assorted lettuce. Seeds sprouted quickly, within 2 days after planting using the 16 hour setting. Once it was time to add nutrients the plants really began to grow.The speed and consistency of growth was surprising. The plants are thriving with the automatic watering and lighting practically maintenance free.Photo is about 6 weeks after first planting. Tasty crop!!Price was attractive and if continued success will be lower grocery costs in long run.We plan on adding a second unit for microgreens, herbs, and catnip for our 4 legged family members.I highly recommend!!!

I'm pretty bad about watering plants, and I hate bugs. So I'd almost given up on growing herbs. But this is so easy to use, it's a pleasure. The unit is well made, easy to use, and has already paid for itself in herbs I didn't have to buy at the store (in just over 2 months). I'm growing mostly basil in mine, because I use a lot and can never find Holy basil and rarely find Thai basil at the store. I've already harvested enough to justify the cost of the unit, seeds, and the extra grow food I've purchased. After 3 month, have harvested so much I've lost track - Basil Salads, Pestos, and Thai Basil Chicken - all from one compact unit! I've also got thyme in mine, but that's a slow grower, so it's taking it's time, but doing well.The only issue is that sometimes the light timer gets confused. Mine has occasionally turned on too early and gotten off track. But it's easy to just turn it off and back on once to get it reset, and then it works again for weeks. Also, the tiny window to check for water level gets hard to read once there are roots all over the place, but that may be my problem because I've got it in a sunny window, so there's a lot of background light. I love the adjustability of the light height, so I can let my plants grow fairly tall, or keep them harvested at a shorter height.I bought a second unit for my daughter after she liked it on her visit, and she's loving hers as well. She's fairly picky about things looking nice, and she likes the unit very much, so it must appeal to younger adults as well as us old-timers.My neighbor saw it and purchased one as well (I'm a bit miffed that hers was half the price of mine for the same unit - wish I had waited for tha sale). She's growing Romaine in hers, and so far, it's going great. She's only using half of the grow slots to allow for larger plants. It's nice that there are plugs to close off the spots not being used. I have every slot in mine planted, but that makes it rather crowded.I'm hoping to purchase another unit in the future to save time and money getting herbs at the grocery store.

This is a great first time hydroponic garden for beginners. It comes with everything that you need (except the seeds!) so it also makes the perfect gift for those who want to start growing something as well. This garden system was easy to set up and the instructions were pretty clear. I had this system for about two years and its still holding up well so the durability is great. The size is also nice, as you can grow up to 12 plants in this system. I like the fact that you can turn the light off without turning off the whole system and that the garden runs on an automatic timer which starts when you turn it on and press either vegetable or fruit. Water retention is also great as well. I don't have to put as much water in as with normal planting.

This thing is great! Easy to set up and works as advertised! Love that it's on a timer so I don't have to remember to turn on/off the lights. Motor is so quiet I had to take off the top to see if it was even on! Everything is high quality, the machine is beautiful and well made. The light doesn't slide up and down as easily as I'd like but now that I've had it a while I like that. It won't ever slip down or move if you bump it and I'm assuming it will last a long time. (Just pull it up right at/around the telescoping arm.) I was surprised how bright the light is, so I'm finding I'm using the lights in my kitchen less! Great instructions, quick guide is like a big greeting card on nice thick card stock. User manual is 17pgs of a nice coated paper and even has a spot for notes about your grow. I planted about a week and a half ago and I have 10 pods with plants! I did remove the stickers after they popped up because I plan to reuse them. Just my sage hasn't germinated yet but it says it can take 20days, so I'm hopeful they will sprout up soon! Comes with everything you need, only complaint is you only get 6 little stems for labels but there is a hole for one next to each pod, so I just used 1 per row, not a huge deal and once they get big I won't need them anyway! I purchased a 2nd one to grow some veggies since I'm keeping this one for just herbs! *updated to add pics a month later! I love using fresh herbs when cooking and my Lettuce is coming along nicely!

It is small enough that it doesn’t take up much room on the counter and it was easy to assemble . The seeds I ordered from another vendor had arrived( no seeds come with this hydroponics growing system so you need to order them from somewhere else) I so I was able to plant seeds immediately. Within two days they were germinating and I could see buds coming from the lettuce, tomatoes, and some of the herbs.

We have just started using this and are growing basil and Italian parsley. The basil is doing great and the parsley, while taking a bit longer to sprout, is also doing very well. We are extremely pleased with the product. It was easy to assemle, priced well, great quality, and we like the idea that the light is easily adjustable.We live in an area with lots of rabbits, etc. and need a great quality indoor growing system. This fits our needs perfectly.

This indoor garden is fantastic! The herbs grew quickly and healthily with minimal effort. It’s ideal for small spaces and beginners. Highly recommended!

The hydroponics garden is fantastic. It works really well. The explanations are very clear . I am having so much fun with my new garden. I actually bought a second one. The first one is a herb garden and the second one will be to start my seeds before planting them in the garden. I am extremely satisfied.

The shortest time is 16 hours, had to unplug every night so that it won't turn on in the middle of the night
