12Pods Hydroponics Growing System, Indoor Herb Garden with LED Grow Light, Built-in Fan, Automatic Timer, Smart Garden Germination Kit, Adjustable Height Up to 11.3" for Home, Office

Good

Working well

Pros: It grows seedings very well pump is quiet and light is just right. The timer and light adjustment I like. It helps me to root propigated plants. Cons: The fan doesn't work the sponge which is used to support the seedings are good til it's time to transplant seedlings to soil. Then I had to rip the sponge to shreds to remove the plant so roots are damaged. I now use rock wool to support seedlings after germination. But just support plant under the 1st 2 lower leaves. Don't allow the roots to grow thru the rock wool or you will damage roots when transplant. I have adjusted to what it can do

look très sympa !

I used it for a year without any issues but the buttons, fan and grow lights stopped working after a year

Stops working after a few months. Don’t buy it. Seller also doesn’t respond when complaining.

Fan cannot be sold separately

Dear, after 1 week pump stop to work and I need to buy another one. Light is not 9000 lumen like plant need .. really upset

I got this for Christmas; my wife bought it through our shared Amazon account so I'm hoping this review will show up as a verified purchase. I seeded 6 pods on 29 December 2022, four with kale and two with lettuce. Those are the plants you can see growing so abundantly in the photo taken on 21 January 2023. I seeded the other six pods on 13 January 2023, three with arugula, two with cilantro, and one with basil. The arugula are up and looking fine, though still small. The basil is just peeking up now. The cilantro has yet to raise its head. Here are my thoughts: The unit was very easy to set up. I found the instructions to be quite clear. Seeding the sponges and putting the sponges in the baskets was straightforward. The only problem I had was the instructions to put only 3 or 4 seeds per sponge. Most of the seeds I'm working with are so tiny that the best I can do is shake the packet over the sponge and hope that the right number fall into the hole. I ended up overseeding most of the pods, meaning I had to do some serious thinning once the plants were up. Because this will be my first crop and I'm still feeling my way, I have a few unresolved questions: My kale and lettuce look about ready to harvest now, even though they have only been growing for three weeks. Their seed packets say they take 40-50 days to harvest when planted in soil. Do they really grow that much faster in a hydroponics unit? Should I start harvesting now, or wait some more? As you top off the water, which has to be done fairly often as the plants grow, you have to add more of the nutrients that come with the kit. When you replace all of the water in the tank, which the instructions say should be done a week or so after the plants have been growing awhile, you also have to add nutrients. I can see that if I want to have ongoing crops throughout the year, I will have to be buying more nutrients, which aren't particularly cheap. So my question is: Will this be a cost-effective way to have fresh greens for my table, vs. buying at the supermarket, or merely a fun (and potentially expensive) hobby? In summary: I'm quite pleased with IDOO unit itself. However, I'm unsure whether or not in the long run hydroponics will be a cost-effective way of growing food.

se lo compre a mi novio y no le pudo encantar mas

Der Versand klappte super. Die Lieferung war am nächsten Tag schon da. Die Verpackung war optimal und ließ sich gut öffnen. Beim auspacken und ersten anfassen erschien uns das Gerät als qualitativ hochwertig, was sich im weiteren Verlauf immer wieder bestätigte. Das Zusammenbauen war kinderleicht und klappte auf Anhieb ohne dabei die Anleitung lesen zu muessen. Also eine top Ergonomie und Nutzererfahrung. Beim Bepflanzen ergaben sich keinerlei Probleme da gerade dieser Vorgang sehr verständlich beschrieben ist. Der Einsatz des Düngemittels lässt sich wunderbar dosieren. Auch hier ist die Anleitung super. Nun freuen wir uns auf unseren ersten, frischen Salat, der bereits nach 3 Tagen zu Keimen begann. Das Gerät steuert sich komplett selbst, wenn man die richtige Pflanzenart einstellt. Beim Nachfüllen mit Wasser muss man ein wenig aufpassen, da die Oeffung recht klein ist. Insgesamt eine tolle Sache zu einem super Preis.

Funziona alla grande. Piantine crescono super veloce. Ottimo per tenere piantine aromatiche tipo basilico, menta, timo.. ma nulla di più.non è un orto.

Easy to set up, no fuss. Unfortunately the fan did not work. So returning it. Was not offered replacement so have to return and then reorder. Bit of a faff.
