Design is simple and reasonably easy to assemble - that said, the assembly instructions could be a little more detailed. For a first timer hydroponic gardener - there could be more detailed instructions and guidance on set-up of the tank / pump, etc. For example, is the pump supposed to run 24/7 or intervals. A couple of teething issues / recommendations; a) one of the grommets was missing from one of the trays, b) the screw size or hole size on the brackets that hold the trays could / should be a little more snug - so that brackets don’t lean forward, c) you could consider putting adjustable feet on the base, d) the pipe elbows should just be standard kit versus after-market
So great I don’t have to fiddle around hanging overhead strip lights
So many standing options only do 1 plant!
Good light, plants seem to be doing well
However I would love it to be at least 20-30cm taller, most of my house plants touch the light so I’ve had to put it up on blocks
Perhaps you could sell separate set of longer legs for it? That would be such a great addition!
Thanks for the awesome review!
We were thinking about making it extendable. Maybe a separate set of legs in the future!
I've bought 2 of them & I've grown microgreens & sprouts. I'm currently growing pea morgan & pink kale in 1 of them & red cabbage & rocket in the other one. Everything seems to be growing well. To prevent mould, once the seeds have germinated and exposed to sunlight, it's time to stop spraying them with water & start adding the water to the main tray, through the stainless steel mesh, but making sure not the get the seed shoots wet. I've also added a microgreens fertiliser to the water tray as well. It will be interesting to see if the fertiliser improves taste & growth rate, texture etc. I get plenty of afternoon sun on the kitchen windowsill, which seems to be enough here in Sydney. I think it's also important to remove the plastic dome as soon as the sprouthouse is ready to receive sunlight as well, otherwise it will create too much humidity under the dome and therefore more of a potential for mould forming on the seeds & microgreens. I'm currently using Mr. Frothergills microgreens from Bunnings & I have tried some other brands which I've bought online & which did seem to work pretty well, but Mr. Frothergills are very well priced seeds & there are a lot of them in the seed packets.
Thank you so much for the lovely review and great feedback!
an extremely well constructed light unit, i have a few of these in use lighting up various monsteras through the winter months and can recommend these as a good light source.
one of these lights is sufficient to keep a few plants thriving in a completely unlit area with no external light source.
Thanks so much for the lovely review, I'm so glad you appreciate the craftsmanship and power of the sun bulb!
Received my order fairly quickly and so very happy with this fantastic 3 leg led glow light ,sitting above my indoor plants .
