Amazing capabilities if using for plant growth!

Love this thing. Captures time lapse like I never seen. You must dial in the focus on any lens use with this. Once you do, the clarity of the image is excellent. If using in very bright light, get cctv lens with adjustable aperture or you will get black faint horizontal lines appearing from over exposing the sensor. You will need to a Ir filter with any aftermarket lens though. eBay lenses work just as good if not better than the lens provided.

I've had it about a month. I live in an apartment with a decent size patio. My seedlings have been doing very well. Upon setting the greenhouse up my husband zip tied the shelves to the frame for extra security and also zip tied to our patio railing as well. I've enhanced it since then with heating mats for seedlings, a couple battery operated fans and a hanging led grow light and grow bulb put into a simple desk lamp. First photo is me tending to my seedlings at 6am..I'm more interested in my greenhouse that having a cup of coffee these days. A very great buy!

I had a lot of trouble trying to germinate seeds and/or cuttings last winter in my home in the northeast due to my home temps being typically in the 65-68 degree range. This year I opted for the heating pad/thermostat option for my mini greenhouse. This solution worked amazingly well with my seedlings in the cold weather months when I typically have the hardest times getting seeds to flourish. I soaked my rockwool cubes in about 1 quart of low PPM water with several drops of General Hydroponics Root Enhancer. 7 days later I was stunned to see roots exploding out of the bottom of the rockwool cubes. The rockwool cubes are now sitting in my hydro system and beginning to really take off. The price of this combo system was also great making it the obvious choice for me. Try it with confidence. You shouldn't be sorry you did.

Of the seeds I planted, all of them except one has grown into a happy, established plant, even in poor soil. These things are almost impossible to kill, so they make wonderful gifts for people who don't have a green thumb. I gave one to my mom for mother's day and she loves it! They grow so fast- it's actually exciting to be able to check on it every day and see how much it has grown! I'm very happy with my purchase, and I'm sure I will be buying more.

Awesome product.  Able to angle the way I want.  Various colored lights cause plants to grow quickly.  I'm using for an indoor garden.  Lettuce, thyme, basil, etc. all growing nicely.  Cords are a little short, so if you're hanging up high you'll likely need an extension cord.  I plugged mine in, then used a timer so I can set four of them and forget them.

This is the best light I have ever employed for both vegetative growth and flowering. Even though it is undoubtedly superior for growing herbatious, pistilate, dioetious annuals, I use it to flower myriad plants in prep for sale.  I recently purchased a second unit to expand my capabilities.  Not at all expensive if one considers quality and return on investment!

I have a container garden since my backyard is cement. This is my third year and by far, my best! I learned about fertilizer this year and I am very happy that I did. I prepared my soil correctly (peat, compost, perlite, vermiculite, and a mix of organic fertilizer) and planted my seedlings. I had started them inside about 6 weeks prior in a mix with Bio Tone. My plants took off like I've never seen!!! I have three tomato plants that are already 5 feet tall and huge!!! This has been a cloudy and rainy spring so far in Pittsburgh (zone 6b), and I pruned pretty heavily in the beginning to let the plants grow strong with good roots before focusing on fruit. About 6 weeks after planting, I began feeding all my blooming vegetables this Bud & Bloom Booster along with Neptune's Harvest Fish and Seaweed Blend. The non-bloomers get the Neptune's Harvest only.
I have never had so many blooms!! I use this on my eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes, as well as my marigolds. They love it! Still waiting for some sun so my many baby tomatoes will ripen, but I'm about to harvest a few eggplants that are ready to go!
The fish and seaweed are a balanced fertilizer, but tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers will love the extra shot of phosphorus!!

Really good stuff!  My plants love it and are thriving as a result!

This cultivator is AMAZING !  I bought one last spring to till the ground between plants in my vegetable garden. It works like a champ. I even have an irrigation system which I thought might present a problem. However if you till in the same direction as the lines run, it won't sever them if you accidently nick one. Course I try to stay an inch away and rarely does that ever occur.

I just used mine to till for a fall crop of cold weather veggies- kale, lettuce, broccoli, etc and it's was SO easy. Course I use a big tiller in the spring before planting, but throughout the growing season this does wonders. (Can't use a big one then.) Last thing, I was a little concerned about it being electric vs gas powered. The gas powered ones start at $250 and go UP over $300. I didn't want to spend THAT much. I worried about the mobility of having to drag an electrical line, BUT it's NOT a problem. This is a great deal for <$100. I'd recommend to ALL who have flower or vegetable gardens !

I almost forgot to add...I have 6 plots so my garden is moderately big. Most (4) are around 130 sq ft each , but 2 are 64 sq ft. (650 sq ft total) Needless to say, I use this a lot.

I do not have a green thumb, I have a brown thumb.  Everything I try to grow dies, even plastic plants.  I was talking to someone the other day and they told me its not my fault, its that my house is not light enough.  A few days after I was told this I was given the opportunity to test this growing lamp and decided I would jump at the chance to see if its me or my houses fault.

The grow lamp itself is about 2 foot long and 1 foot wide.  Plugged right into my outlet.  I am guessing it to be about 7-8 pounds.  The bulbs are all LED.  I do not understand all the technical stuff when it comes to lumens and such I see they advertise.

What I do note is that I started some seedlings about a month before I got this.  They were starting and looking pretty weak and not very green.  I have had them under the lighting unit for a couple hours a day broken up in about 3 one hour spurts.  I admit, I am skeptical about things like this, but I do not know what I am doing, but all in all, I have seen the little seedlings perk up, look very green and they have all tripled in size in just this short time.  I have never had anything live this long, and if it did they sure did not look like this.  As you can see from my pictures I have pointed out the growth on the ruler, and all of them are growing.  This is a first for me.  I am truly optimistic at this point that I will have better results now than I have ever had before.

I will update about every 2 weeks with pictures in the same pots with the same ruler for you can see the growth yourself.  As of right now I am please as punch at what this is doing.  I will recommend this to anyone else looking to add light to their plants or seedlings.  I am already planning out a indoor herb garden for the winter.

I think this would make a great gift for anyone looking to help their own green thumb.  I am sure other gardeners will enjoy being able to do things over the winter or help in areas they do not get sunlight.

I feel this is well made and is versatile enough to hang or place anywhere you need the sunlight.

Can't go wrong with Miracle Grow...plants just love it!

I recently took up gardening as a hobby and figured these would be a great help. I used these to plant jalapenos, ghost peppers, yellow bell peppers, zinnia flowers, thai chili peppers, and roma tomatoes. Overall, I had plants grow from seed in 90% of the pellets. For the pellets that did not germinate the seeds, I reused them by planting other seeds and the seeds did eventually grow. When I transplanted the pellets, to bigger pots, I removed the nets because I have read stories online of the nets restricting the roots. After a few months, my vegetable plants are of respectable size and are producing healthy vegetables. I give this product five stars because of its ease of use.

Amazing product! My tomato plants, pepper plants, radishes etc. have all benefited and far exceeded my expectations in overall health and output. Highly recommend this product to all gardeners even those who swear they don't have a green thumb.

I got one of these to replace a working light from a different manufacturer. let me say, this light is incredible. It runs MUCH cooler than my old light (also LED) and uses 1/3 the power, so win-win there. The real surprise was the extent that my plants liked it to. Growth is faster, healthier and truly impressive in all ways compared to the "square" light I used before.

It must be the spectrums used in it because I've used LED's from 2 other manufacturers and this light is brighter, cooler and in my opinion, hands-down a better light than either of the others.

If you are growing plants indoors, this light should be given strong consideration.

Retirement has given me the time to complete our States Master Gardener program and start a small organic farm on our seven partially wooded acres. Almost all of my time is now devoted to something plant related. I spend a lot of time propagating new plants to incorporate into the landscape on our property, and those new plant starts spend their early lives in some kind of container before going into their permanent location.

I am very impressed with the quality of materials used, and the construction of these Hydra Lawn & Garden Grow Bags.
 The thickness of the fabric used in these Hydra Lawn & Garden Grow Bags, it is much thicker than the fabric that was used to make the grow bags that I tried ten years ago. The fabric used to make the Hydra Lawn & Garden Grow Bags looks similar to a very dense and thick felt; it has a lot of body (it is somewhat stiff).
 The bags are well constructed. All of the seams are all nicely finished and sewn with a serger overlock stitch. The top opening of each bag is also finished with the same serger overlock stitch that was used to sew the seams of the bag, so there are no raw unfinished fabric edges.

All of the plants that I have transplanted into the Hydra Lawn & Garden Grow Bags are much happier than they were in their previous temporary home plastic pots.
The fabric of the grow bag is dense enough to hold the irrigation water long enough to saturate the soil surrounding the root zone of the plants, before it slowly perks through the soil and walls of the grow bags. (Irrigation water doesnt quickly flow through air pockets and along the roots running straight out of drainage holes before the soil has a chance to become completely wet, like it does in plastic pots with large opening drain holes.)

I first tried using grow bags (a different brand) about 10 years ago. They worked very well for the two seasons that I used them, but were extremely expensive to buy.
The current Amazon price of $19.99 for five three gallon bags is much less expensive than what I paid for just one grow bag the last time I bought them, and seems like a good value for these well constructed, versatile and reusable plant containers.
My plants and I are very happy with the quality of these grow bags.

I purchased 6 of these to cover a 7x10 area to give me about 51 watts per sq foot, results were almost too good. I can tell by the naked eye the light penetrates deep into the plant.  Great thing I have a 9' ceiling because my plants took off and yield was about 50% more.  I did stake my plants open to penetrate light down.  I have The lights about 28 " apart.  Early flower I can run 8 ladies under one, mid flower 5 ladies, then full flower I run 3 ladies.  I personally stack them close together so they work together.  Works for me, but every grower is different.  I have not tried these for veg, but can tell you for flower they work amazing.....  The lower power usage is a huge plus for me and the lights will pay for themselves....

I needed a copy of the invoice from the company and the guys were so nice, I do not foresee any warranty issues at all, very confident with my purchase.  My brother has a shop building computers and is very impressed with theses lights from a structural standpoint.  I did my research prior to ordering these lights.  The quality is unbeatable.  Other growers whom have seen my lights are also impressed and may soon be doing their own orders....

Wanted to add there are no heat issues with these, so we don't have to run a lot of fans and the CO2 goes where we want it to go.  Perfect set up....  Thank you Advanced and we can't wait to see what you come up with next....
