inbloom 12 Pods Hydroponics Growing System Kit, Herb Garden Planter Indoor Kit, Indoor Gardening Hydroponics Growing System with Pods, 4.2L Water Pump, Height Adjustable, Gifts for Woman, Black

Growing up eating farm fresh produce and meats was a gift to my health early on. With our food being recalled so often I figured I would try to grow my own vegetables. Although I don’t have a green thumb, nor any land to plant anything. I heard about the hydroponic method of growing plants indoors and decided to try it.I purchased 2 of these because I wanted to grow vegetables in one and different lettuces in the other. Although there are 12 pods in each, I want to give the plants room to grow and rotate different fruits and vegetables. One holds fruit and vegetables and the other only has lettuces. After 10 days most seeds have germinated and I am so excited about a bountiful harvest!I am also curious about my electricity bill going forward. The lights on the inBlooms are on for 16 hours and off for 8. Hopefully 🙏 it won’t be a huge increase.***EDIT***After 4 weeks and no watering... look at the bounty! The lettuce grows so fast.Customer Service has been really great and honestly refreshing in this day and age.

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.

This matching amazing. I always had issues you atrt seeds,but know I so happy and my seeds germinat very fast. I will buy it again and again.i am so happy i found it .

Love, love, love this garden experience. Spent 7 years planting outside in raised planters. Manage to disappoint year after year. This hydroponic garden surprise me everyday. To wake to see a new seedling amazingBest decision ever.

Easy setup but if you start and finish the “Installation Steps” before reading the entire pamphlet, you’ll have to start over. The detailed planting instructions are on the back side. Annoying… The product quality is good. Would be 5 stars if the instructions were better laid out.

I’m growing flowers for the upcoming Mother’s Day! Instructions are easy to follow. Very quiet! My cat’s water fountain is louder than this. Automatic light and pump. Makes growing sooo simple. The images are from overnight! This is morning three of planting these seeds! I am super stoked.

So easy to grow a mini garden in your home or office! The photo is my kale and lettuce exactly two weeks after planting the seeds. The inBloom behind the front one is where I had to transplant my kale after harvesting which seemed to grow the fastest. The set-up was extremely easy. They are portable and can be put practically anywhere. Once turned on, the water pump and lights cycle itself so all you have to do is make sure the water doesn't go empty in the reservoir. It is literally fool proof for someone like me who forgets to water my plants on a daily basis. In fact, I love these mini hydroponic systems so much that I'm buying two more for my herbs as I write this!I suggest getting at least two of these inBloom hydroponic systems if you can to transplant any plants that seem to be growing at a faster rate and taking over the other plants. I tried to plant similar seeds that have the same germination rate, and height which will help with one overtaking another. I guess my kale had other plans.I had enough for salad yesterday and also today with the kale and as you can see, the other lettuce will need to be harvested. I'm amazed as the plants were only seeds two weeks ago. I bought the 12 pod inBloom hydroponic systems and planted the same seeds in three of the pods for each variety. I planted 4 varieties of lettuce/kale so they each have 3 pods to grow from which I find plenty for one to two people every other week.What I planted from left to right: Romaine lettuce, Grand Rapids Green Leaf Lettuce, Buttercrunch Lettuce and in the back black inBloom just recently transplanted and harvested is dwarf Siberian Kale which is perfect for mini hydroponic systems!The lights will be bright and light up an entire room so I have mine in their own room and behind a make-shift screen of cardboard which helps quite a bit when they are on at night.I do suggest getting the 12 pod system. You won't regret it!
