inbloom Hydroponics Growing System 12 Pods Black

If you love eating the freshest of nutrient dense greens, with this grow unit, you can keep a ready supply. Easy to use, easy to clean.

This is an excellent option. A solid brand that offers more reliability and a warranty unlike ultra cheap generic brands but not NEAR as expensive as the big name brands while still giving you the same quality product. I actually bought two seperate inbloom systems. This large one and a smaller one. Comparing the two side by side this one definitely has a major perk but a few downsides as well. I'm honestly surprised. I would expect the systems to maintain the same quality. The downsides of this are really only compared to the other system of the same brand! The perks - The biggest perk is that if you manually turn the light off it will still keep track of the time and turn on 8 hours later. Living in a rural area the power sometimes flickers. Meaning the system totally resets and the grow lights may be on all night long. With this one I can just tap the light button before bed and 8 hours later it will turn on. With the smaller one if you tap the button it totally turns off the lighting, meaning I must manually turn it on the following day. The water gauge is enclosed in sturdy glass, no need to worry about bumping it. The drawbacks - The pieces between the two systems aren't really interchangeable. The smaller system includes stakes for plants and this one does not. However, the smaller systems stakes are too thick to use in this. I solved this by using chopsticks. The grow baskets are also different sizes. If I get them mixed up the basket for the smaller system will sit about 1cm raised out of the slot of this system. The smaller system is also a little better engineered overall. No knob to raise or lower the lamp. No extra wiring running from the base to the lamp. Small things that make it feel nicer. All in all it's still a great product. A few caveats but nothing I wouldn't notice if I wasn't comparing two products from the same brand. I'd definitely recommend it.

Like it so much bought one for my son’s family.

I was so excited to get this. Maybe it’s just my black thumb, but the herbs are so sparse. I’ll try it again and if things look different I’ll post an updated review but I’ll tell you this my herbs look nothing like the picture.

Living in Arizona, I’ve dumped waaay too much money into my outdoor vegetable garden. An exercise in futility, to be sure. Plus, I kill every plant I’ve ever had. Cacti included. This little gem… is amazing! Arrived in 3 days. Set up was fast and easy (under 30 minutes with zero knowledge of hydroponics). The first 2 pictures are after 2 weeks. Second 2 pictures after 5 weeks. Last 2 pictures are at 7 weeks. This has been a fun experience and I hope to get some actual fruit from it, too! I enjoy watching the daily progress so much that I put it on my kitchen counter. I like it so much, in fact, that I plan to buy a second unit just for fragrant flowers. I may need to buy a new house (for kitchen counter space).
