Anybody else have one? I just got it for my gf for her birthday, it's great so far. The chives didn't sprout, but who needs chives? I'll probably throw some other kind of seed in there and see how it does.

I have seen the infomercial,
It seems like a cool product, and a inexpensive set up for those "other" seeds :>

got one, It's cool. RW sucks in it though. I need to find somthing else to germinate seeds in, then transplant into the AG. Plus I want to modify the hood with CFLs I think that I can get 160w under that thing.

dasme have you seen the upgraded hood you can buy? Goes like 50% higher and has three T5 bulbs that are in an E like shape.

Ive seen those on TV too, they look pretty cool, arnt they a little spendy tho, I thought I saw them about 300 bucks?..altho I would love to have fresh herbs all year long.

Mine was $150, and it comes with enough stuff to run for at least 6 months I think. Each new package, with new seeds, pods, and nutrients, is $20. The hydro store I go to has the peppers going right now, they're at least 6 months old, and they looks awesome.

yah, I seen that but those lights cant get down with 24" plants. I may just get that to save time

Hey dasme nice to see you here with the veg heads.

You can use hydroton in the cups and put seed straight into them. Seeds also respond well in aqua I just throw them in the beds and they come up.

How much is this unit? Chemical? Aero - as in mist?

Aquaponics is harder to set up dasme, but it's organic, cheap to run, and, I dunno, for me having the best weed in town is the reward that really satisfies.

From the looks of it it's just a pump that pours water through a foam pod the seeds are in. The amount of time it drips depends on what setting the unit is on. For the herb set, that I'm growing, it's on the whole time the lights are on. The light cycle is also controlled by the same setting. For herbs, I think it's 18 hours on, 6 hours off.

I got one, it's great, i'll take a pic right now and add it as an edit. My gf got me the "Salsa garden" seed kit for christmas, and we waited til we found one on sale for 60$ (!) before getting one. Cute little self contained hydro gardens, very cool. could definitely be modded out for more efficient growth of plants.. or to go pot with
