SUNCOZE Hydroponics Growing System Kit 20 Pods, Indoor Herb Garden with Grow Light 30W, 10L Large Water Tank with Adjustable Height to 25", Built-in Pump, Gardening Gifts, Black and Brown

My favorite hydrponic unit. I have 10 hydroponic units, from 5 manufacturers. (Yes, I'm embarrassed to admit that). This is the one I keep getting more of. It has very few drawbacks, though I will start with those. 1) I don't care for the electronic indicator for water level. If I wait for that to come on, water would be too low. I just open the fill area cover and look to see how low the water is. And yes, it can be slightly awkward to fill (as mentioned by another reviewer), but they're all like that. Just use a watering can with a small spout and it's fine. 2) the pump is not silent. The first unit I got (a different brand) has a pump I can barely hear when I try. This one I can hear. I almost sent it back because of that, but I got used to it quickly - it's certainly not loud. I have extremely sensitive hearing, and am bothered by almost any noise. This took a day to get used to, and it no longer bothers me. I wouldn't, however, want it right next to my desk where I have to work all day. If you're used to any background noise at all, this won't bother you. 3) the lowest height setting for lights is way too high for seeds. Generally recommended height is 4" above seeds. The lowest setting on this is much higher than that (more like 8"?). It does work, though. The seeds sprout, though they may take a bit longer to grow when the plants are very small.Now the good stuff. The height of this is vastly more versatile than other units. Other planters are too small for most plants, so get this one if you want more versatility in what you plant. It's also an effiicient shape for maximum growing area (as opposed to multiple smaller units that are narrower and often rounded on the corners). And it's cost effective. To plant as much, you'd need 2 smaller units, while this one is reasonably priced ($62 at the time of this review) for more growing space. The settings (timer and clock) are a bit unclear at first, but once I figured them out, all 4 of these (yes, I've gone a bit overboard) have worked well with timers going on and off every day consistently. My plants have sprouted well and seem very happy. The unit is sturdy, lights are great (some units from other brands have lighting that's too dim to be effective), and fill is in the front of the unit instead of at the end, which I find helpful given the larger size of this unit. Also, the green color is really nice. Most other units come in white or black only. And the price o this is reasonable (As of the time of this review). I swithced to this brand because my previous favorite company raised their prices.Just thought I'd share this before I order 3 more of these because my plants are getting too big and need more space.Hydroponics becomes an addiction. I'm currently growing all of my herbs (I use insane amount of 6 differnt kinds of basil, which does fantastic in these units, along with 10 other herbs), plus lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, baby bok choy, kale, small peppers, cutting celery, strawberries, and I'm even trying out some baby cucumbers! (which will probably get too big). Do NOT expect to grow 20 plants in this! The 20 spots allow flexibility, but, as with any hydropinic unit, filling them all will just crowd plants too much and they'll stop growing. For full grown plants, plan on no more than 8 or so, unless you're growing smaller herbs, in which case, maybe 10.This unit is excellent, however, and once you get one, you'll want more. Have fun making your home a greener, most nourishing space.

Works really well. I used the Garden Cube accessories which helped. Also I used some of the Garden Cube guidelines for soaking seeds and seed sleeves. But I like this product the best. It's easy to use, easy to lift the grow lights, it's bigger so you can grow more veggies or flowers, It automatically lets you know when to add water and when to add plant foods. Seeds germinated very quickly.

Pump stopped working within 2 weeks. Followed directions, easy set up, everything was going great until the pump stopped working. For the cost that's very disappointing.

This thing is huge! It works great as a seed starter. I do not like it for my consistent indoor crops, like my herbs and Tiny Tim tomatoes. I have the white and it is the Algae Queen of all my hydroponic units. It is easy to use and assemble, but a nightmare to clean. I wish I had gotten the black one. My black units (different brands) seem to have less algae issues. The light is Very bright… so much so that I seldom use my bar lighting anymore. It holds a lot of water and is so quiet that I use to check its pump constantly to see if it was really working. I Don’t Like the controls on top of the light. I’m too short and that is a big issue for me. So all in all not a bad hydroponic system… perfect for seed starting then transplanting. I have flowers everywhere this year which makes me so happy.

"I am absolutely thrilled with my Suncoze hydroponic system! From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed with the thoughtful packaging and the clear, easy-to-follow instructions. Assembly was a breeze – I had it put together in no time, and I'm definitely not a DIY expert!What truly sets the Suncoze system apart is that it genuinely came with everything I needed to start my indoor vegetable garden. No running to the store for extra parts or struggling to figure out what else I needed. It included the grow lights, the water pump, the net pots, the sponges, and even a starter set of nutrients. It was a complete, ready-to-go solution.The system is also sleek and compact, fitting perfectly in my breakfast room. I've already started seeing sprouts, and I'm so excited to watch my little garden flourish. The photo below is only 2 weeks of growth!If you're looking for a simple, effective, and complete hydroponic system, look no further than Suncoze. It's truly made indoor gardening accessible and enjoyable!"

Much better than expected. At first I was confused by the light timer (because all my name brand aerogardens don’t have that feature) but it’s super simple set the time then set the time you want the light to turn on. In my opinion this is a great budget alternative to an AeroGarden farm. It has 24 inches of growth space before encroaching on the light. I only use about half the spaces to prevent overcrowding. The only thing I wish this had was some included covers so you can cover the holes you aren’t using. Yes the light is bright… grow lights are bright… the sun is bright…. That’s how plants grow.

Ended up giving it away as a gift, I was not able to grow anything in it. I gave it tries with three different types of seeds. I don't know what I could have been doing wrong with the pH level was fine. And nothing was working correctly for me. It was easy to put together, but just did not perform as I expected. Still giving three stars because possible user error.
