Hydroponics Growing System 8 Pods Indoor Herb Garden with LED Grow Light, Height Adjustable Plant Germination Kit Indoor Grow Kit Countertop Garden with Automatic Pump & Timer Black

I love this hydroponic growing system! It has everything you need to start seeds and grow vegetables and herbs in your home (Note: seeds are not included. I recommend buying your seeds from a reputable source as fresh seeds yield the best results)Setting up the system is relatively easy. I had one small issue where the pump and lights weren’t initially receiving power. After contacting customer service, I was directed to the videos on the company’s website. As soon as I watched the video, I realized my error and quickly corrected the problem. Please make sure to read the enclosed directions thoroughly and watch the set-up videos on the website.I have the mini system with 8 planting pods. I planted lettuce and 3 herbs. In the future I’ll plant the same seeds in all the pods to yield a larger amount. I first saw seeds sprouting after just 3 days! In just 2 weeks I had lots of growth in all 8 pods! Lettuce was the fastest grower and I’ve already enjoyed a BLT sandwich made with some of the lettuce I grew! I plan on moving the lettuce into a pot so I can start more in the grower. Tip: Don’t pull lettuce out of the pod when you want to use it. Snip it off about 1” from the base of the pod and it will continue to grow!I love that there is no guesswork. The lights and pump are on a timer and turn on/off periodically. It’s so much fun watching the progress and enjoying what I’ve grown. I highly recommend this system!

Didn’t turn on. To be fair it’s been sitting in the box for two years, but never used out of the box and doesn’t turn on.

The media could not be loaded. This hydroponic system is fantastic. It’s as easy to use as any other system but it’s about 1/4 the price. I paid $32 for mine and it’s worth every penny.In regards to the company. They have truly the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. I had a problem with the pump and they replied to my email within a few hours. They offered to send me a new pump but unfortunately they were out of spare pumps. They asked me if they could replace the whole system instead of just the pump. I agreed and would you believe it, they sent me an entire new hydroponic system. To make it even better, it arrived at my doorstep I kid you not within 8 hours of my email from the company. They’re truly the best company I’ve ever dealt with. Thanks for being such a great company.

I was super excited to try this out, being an avid plant lover. It's easy to put together and everything seems to work well- I got some of my seeds started very quickly. However, even though I followed the instructions, it got kind of green and moldy, so I ended up moving my plants into soil (where they did just fine). I'm sure this is probably user error, and I'm going to try again, but for now I'm just using the grow light.

This went from a 1 star to a 5 star for customer service.The seller had reached out and worked with me to resolve this issue. Honestly, I’d buy more items from this exact seller because of their stellar customer service!!!!! I may have had a defective one and they offered to replace it! 10 stars if I could !I mean, it does grow the plants ! But I don’t want grown vegetables if the mold comes with it. Not only is it moldy, sometimes it’ll shut off and the lights won’t come on. You got to fiddle with the top to even get it working. I waited a bit to write a review just to see if it would mold up again. Sure enough it did.

Pump went out after a week

Soooo they grew way faster than expected. So much so that I had to make new containers to hold the ones that were too big like zucchini/broccoli etc. Parsley is a bully (tries to take all the light) but with proper management and constant harvesting it works great. I'm trying to think of a drawback and it's hard. The only thing that Is a pain is having to clean them since you have to be carefu when taking them out.

I bought an 8 pod unit on May 29,2023. it worked for 5 weeks and stopped. I requested replacement and received one. It was a big pain trying to find customer service but a replacement was sent. I just finished setting up the replacement, which had a badly fitting top shelf and wobbly light fixture. I plugged it in and nothing worked !!!!! I did some trouble shooting but the problem is in with the unit. It's a box of water. More junk to recycle and nothing more.My Garden Cube unit which I had before I bought Tilt top, has been working and producing crops for almost a year now. I recommend it but never buy Tilt Top , it's a gamble.
