RAINPOINT 13-Pod Indoor Hydroponic Growing System - Smart Herb Garden Kit for Fresh Vegetables, Lettuce & Plants | Perfect for Kitchen, Home Gardening & Urban Farming

I decided to go with this hydroponic system because I had purchased a garden timer by RainPoint and it has lasted longer than any other garden timer I’ve ever purchased. So far, I’m really glad I made this purchase. The kit came with everything I needed to start a hydroponic system (except the seeds). The directions were clear (although, the English on the box and in their marketing materials needs some work). The items were of pretty solid quality (everything is plastic, but isn’t everything plastic nowadays?; the light extension pole feels a bit flimsy, so I’m very careful raising and lowering it - using 2 hands). I do like that the light has good height extension, so that I could plant things that have a little height and adjust the light as the plants grow. I also like the bamboo look of the bottom of the container; it’s a nice touch. I wrote the name of the veggies on a piece of masking tape and then attached that to the little provided signs, as I will probably rotate what I grow and didn’t want to use permanent marker on the signs.I used a few older seed packets I had already (lettuce and spinach) and purchased some new seed packets from Burpee (veggies that don’t get real tall or large - boxwood basil, cilantro, micro greens). I got everything planted over a timeframe of a week, and I’m already seeing growth from the micro greens. It’s exciting to wake up every morning and see what growth has happened overnight! As an avid gardener that growth brings me joy! I placed the unit in my kitchen, and I can’t wait until the plants are big enough to harvest!The timer works flawlessly, the light is bright, and the motor that moves the water is super quiet. So far, so good! I’ll try to update my review again, as my plants get further along in growth.
