Ahopegarden Hydroponics Growing System Kit Indoor Herb Garden with Grow Light 12 Pods, with LCD Touch Panel Hydroponic Planter, Planting Height Up to 17", Grower Harvest Fresh Veggie Lettuce, Black

I approached this as an affordable experiment, and have really enjoyed it. Nearly a month in, I've just ordered a batch of grow sponges for my next crop. The pump is quiet, the system easy to maintain and the timer reliable; the two-year warranty seems generous. Features it lacks include manually setting light duration (you have only two choices) and manually turning off the light without also turning off the pump. (You can turn off the pump independently.) Those features, however, would probably make the unit considerably more expensive than the $60 I paid, which I already consider worthwhile. When I age out of outdoor gardening - likely in the not-distant future -- this will give me my growing fix, and could easily be used in a condo or apartment.My first crop, a month in, left to right: parsley, catnip, lettuce and beets. Given that they're a root vegetable, beets were a dumb choice, but I am learning. Right after this photo was taken, I transplanted the catnip -- grow sponges and all -- to soil in three little pots, which I think my cat will appreciate for her indoor fix. Next seedings: borage and romaine. The experiment continues!

This indoor hydroponic system exceeded my expectations—it’s well-designed, easy to use, and perfect for growing fresh herbs and vegetables right at home. But what impressed me even more was the exceptional customer service I received from Ahopegarden.They were professional, courteous, and genuinely committed to ensuring a great experience. It’s rare these days to come across a seller that takes such pride in both their product and their customer care.Amazon should be proud to have sellers like this on their platform. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from Ahopegarden again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality product backed by people who truly care.

This is the perfect small space indoor growing item. I bought my first one for myself for christmas. I have eaten 20 or more heads of lettuce, cherry tomatoes, bok choy and of course parsley and cilantro. I was also able to start my plants for outdoor garden. Loved this so much I bought more, now have 5 and saving money on produce and much healthier. Easy to operate, my plants are so healthy there is lots of production. You can also grow flowers.

My herb garden is really a great addition to my kitchen. Love the growth rate, the height of the plants and the concept. I separately bought the seeds online - and that element was disappointing - so i will now simply buy relevant seeds at my local grocery store. I intentionally bought a cheaper unit to see if I would like it - thinking that I might eventually buy a nicer designed unit - but this one actually looks very ok and I will likely keep it until it breaks. I suspect that eventually the way the lights are lifted may become the weak point (thin plastic). But a great start kit to get started using herbal gardens.

The build quality, ease of assembly makes it ideal for small classroom and Senior Assisted Living use. After initial setup users can plant the supplied seeds with provided tweezers. This is helpful with those lacking fine motor skills. Very good germination rate. With some seed there were 2 inch sprouts in a week meaning the cover caps used to create a greenhouse effect had to be removed. Some seeds took longer but that’s expected. The lamp hieght is easy to adjust. One should use a gentle touch raising the light by the neck. Very impressed with the overall look and quiet operation. Once the pump was covered with the right amount of water the unit was quiet. Them modes of operation are easy to select: germination, blooming. The time on and rest period are preset.

Living in the deep south has made gardening a whole new experience. Mildew, pest and horrible storms makes it very difficult to grow without pesticides and mildew occurring on leaves. So let's just say I LOVE THIS SYSTEM. So simple and easy to do, I let the 5 and 8 year old set it up and plant. Everything you need in one box, including 12 types of lettuce seed. The pump noise is almost non existent. Now I am saving for AHOPEGARDENs triple decker system. I have to have more!

I really like the system, I did receive one where the light rod was defective and kept falling. I contacted customer service and they responded very quickly. After explaining my issue they replaced the system under warranty. New system came after 3-4 days. Only wish the lighting rod was taller as my pepper plants are staring to get close to outgrowing it. Overall great system. I’d recommend mini variety plants as you have limited space. I’ve grown lettuce and mini tomato varieties, and peppers in it so far.

I’ve had my hydroponics system up and running for a few weeks now. It works so well. I’m growing several herbs in mine. They are doing so well. It’s extremely easy to setup and maintain. It’s fun and rewarding to see the plants grow so well. Highly recommend!!!
