Yoocaa 12-Pod Hydroponics Growing System with LED Grow Light & Automatic Timer, Adjustable Indoor Herb Garden Kit for Home Kitchen (19.4'' Max Height), Black

Having never tried this before, as an absolute beginner who struggles to keep plants alive, this is excellent. It’s just the right size for where I keep it, it snapped together easily enough and it’s clearly bright enough in the correct wavelengths as you can see from my photo. My herbs are thriving. I’m growing Thai royal basil, some bird eye chillis and some chives in it and I’m having to harvest chives when I don’t need to just to keep them under control! It’s great to have fresh herbs when I need them and the whole set-up was a decent price too.

Easy to install, soon start growing

The media could not be loaded. This hydroponic station looks very stylish and I was excited to buy it .The growth rate has been much slower than I expected but as these are my first seedlings I will see if I get better .It was easy to assemble and you have everything you need to set it up , apart from seeds. I did soak my seeds before I planted them as suggested .The Quality is good and it’s very pleased to see the lights come on periodically. The pump is very quiet. I am eager to start harvesting my herbs but I think it might take a while.On the down side the replacement sponges which hold the seeds seems very expensive and I’m not sure you can reuse them ? You are only given 24 as part of the of the kit . I’m also not sure if you need to buy Yoocaa proprietary sponges ?Overall I’m still excited about my stylish hydroponic station .

Pretty PoorWater pump is far from silent but the worst thing is that whilst it has a timer to put lights on for 16 hours per day there is no clock so the 16 hours starts when the on button is pressed. Therefore if not turned on very early in the morning it is on late into the night. As such, impractical and overpriced.For the money it should be App controlled or at least have a basic clock to control start time.

Great quality unit. First time owning a hydroponic garden. Growing lettuce, mixed leaves, tomatoes and strawberries. Took about 2 hours to get it all setup and seeds planted. Takes 3 litres of water and 15 ml of plant food. Using the veg program and cycles between 16 hours lights on and off, and pump on 30 minute intervals. Growth has been rapid, only been about 14 days so far, and it’s so exciting walking over each day to see what has grown. Definitely recommend.

Very happy - plants have shot up in a couple of weeks. After about a week I had an issue with the pump but the customer service (Abby) resolved it immediately by sending me a new pump - I received it next day. Now it’s working perfectly

Looks good , fairly sturdy but nothing grows very fast, low germination rate.It seems the lights aren’t powerful enough for growth and at 3 weeks the seeds had sprouted to less than 1 cm tall.I’ve used a lot of systems such as this and this was the worst for growth by far , the pump wasn’t very powerful either, I did like the water indicator though.

Would not power on until we realized the top was not fully clipped in.Overall the unit works as expected although not the sturdiest, typical made in China quality.It uses cheap plastic throughout but should serve its purpose.Hope to see some growth in a few weeks
