Description
- 36W Full-Spectrum Grow Light: The hydroponics growing system is equipped with a 36W lighting panel that the full spectrum can simulate natural sunlight, making plants to grow up to 3X faster and healthier than soil cultivation. No longer affected by season and weather, harvesting all year round. The extendable rod can be adjusted for plants at different growth stages, helping plants absorb energy from LED lights and promoting growth.
- Veg & Flowers/Fruits Mode: Indoor growing system has two modes, herbs plants with Vegetable mode, flower and fruits plants with Flower/fruits mode. You can easily switch different mode to meet the light demands of different plants. When you choose vegetable mode, the blue, red, white and far red light will turn on; When you choose flower/fruit mode that emits red, white and far red light. More precise light to promote rapid plant growth and bountiful harvests.
- Auto On-off Working Model: The grow lights are built with a 16-hours-on, 8-hours-off timer, both vegetable mode and flower/fruit mode are set with it. So with an automatic light timer, there’s really not much you have to do to get your plants growing up.
- Quiet Self-watering Hydroponics System: Our indoor garden system is designed with a silent water pump circulation system, which can circulate the water automatically in a 30 min on-and-off cycle, increase water oxygen and help plants absorb nutrients better. With a 4.5L large water tank and see-through water level window, allowing to know at a glance and add water in time.
- Pay Attention: The two nutrient solutions provided with the indoor growing kit are specially formulated to help plants thrive in water and need to be used together in a ratio of 1:1, don’t overfeed plants. We don’t recommend growing different plants in 12 pods at the same time. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us first. We will try our best to solve for you.

I needed a new aerogarden, and this was a lot less expensive than the name brand ones. It arrived today, we set it up, and it works perfectly. The caps are a lot lighter weight than aerogarden ones, but they work just fine.I thought they only sent 4 caps at first, but when I got them apart, all 8 were there, they were just thinner than I expected. The quality of the actual hydroponic garden seems to be really good, and I am happy with this purchase.

I am not sure where the manual is for the system but I had a smaller one so I used the same instructions. I love the quiet waterpump and the timer of the lights – 16 hours on 8 hours off function.

I only recieved 8 dome lids, when it should have been 12. Otherwise the product is great and so far I am enjoying this!

Light and pump no longer operate after 4 months. Totally disappointed. How do you get to talk to someone at this company. website listed on guide is not available.

I had this DakRide Hydroponics Growing System for a while before I got it planted. The time of year that I got it was not a good time to find the seeds I wanted. The assembly was easy and the plants are growing. The consistency of the light helps . I like that there are 12 pods. The pump is quiet and the timer feature is helpful. The hydroponics design is working great! One problem I have is keeping the cats from eating the tender plants. I think I will have to cover it with some netting or something. Keep this in mind if you have cats.

I am still fairly new to hydroponic systems, so my situation might not be applicable to everyone.As far as setup–incredibly easy to set up. I just followed the instructions and was ready to go.Actually running the garden–slightly tricky. My last 9-pod system (which I adore!) had actual buttons that you could physically push. This one has sensors on the “buttons”, but you don’t physically depress a button. I plugged everything in and tried and tried to push the button areas to turn the thing on and it just wouldn’t come on. I read the manual for hints/help, but it didn’t really answer anything. I set the system aside in my classroom and didn’t do anything with it for a few weeks while I got busy with other things. I went over to it the other day to dust it off and try “one more thing”. Sure enough, it turned right on and seems to be working fine. We’re gearing up to start growing flowers for our outdoor beds in the spring, so I’m all excited!

I have enjoyed this product and have quite a few plants growing very well, but, nobody addresses what to do with them when they hit the light bar. I have some wilted leaves that I know came from being in direct contact with the led lights. I’m hoping I still get some tomatoes but we’ll see.

I tried this for the first time growing herbs. It works very well and I get to have fresh herbs on hand. Minimal time spent caring for them I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this would be. A good product!

I was excited at the thought of growing plants using just water. However, you need to use distilled water, which can get pricey if you’re using a lot. The instructions for this were lacking at best. It would have been nice if some seeds were included.

This product promises things it cannot possibly do.This system would be okay for small herbs and garnishes. Green onions do okay, but anything larger than that will be too large to grow until fruiting.The basin also fills with roots, which will eventually damage the pump, or the tender roots.This machine would be acceptable for starting in the spring, and transferring to a larger until when the mature. As far as I know, one the roots are in the water, they can no longer be transplanted into soil, as the roots will need to be converted to terrestrial, instead of aquatic roots.I would recommend this as a beginners setup, with the expectation to move the plants once they are more the a few inches tall.

As the weather turns cold and outdoor herb gardens start to go into hibernation, it’s nice to have an option for growing herbs indoors without taking too much space. This hydroponic garden by DakRide couldn’t have come at a better time for me and the results have been fantastic.Setting up the garden is super simple. All you have to do is clip in a few parts, mix two different plant food bottles, fill up the water levels, soak your sponges, and then plant your seeds. Once you turn on the lights, it is all ready to go through a daily light cycle without any additional effort on your part.The images on my review are less than two weeks in from when I initially set up my garden. As you can see, things are growing very well, and with little effort on my side. I was even traveling for a few days last week and when I came back, things were growing beautifully.Overall, I can’t be any happier with how easy it is to setup an internal garden with this hydroponic option. And as my pictures show, it doesn’t take up much space. You can keep it in your kitchen without too much of a footprint. I highly recommend giving it a shot if you are looking to have an herb garden year round.

Unfortunately my first round of seeds never made it. I don’t think that it has anything to do with the system itself, but rather bad seeds. The system works as its suppose to, but the pods are pretty small. I think this is a good system for a newbie.

Love all the stuff that comes with it. It’s very easy to set up and operate. Can’t wait to have a mini produce section this winter.

I had 100% germination in my first “farm” and the growth is just explosive. I’m an avid gardener and so I know what the growth rate would be in soil. I start all my own seeds/plants for my garden. This growth is explosive! Looking forward to a great little indoor harvest of summer crops during the winter.

I am enjoying my hydroponics grow system. I like that I don’t have to worry about watering that often, I just fill the tank that holds about 4.5 L. It’s nice that the lights have a timer. It has water circulation that is suppose to be better for the plants. The height base is adjustable so as my herbs grow I can raise the lights. It has 12 pods but I am only using 6 of them, I am skipping spaces. I love that I can grow my herbs on my countertop. I have no issues with my system, it has been working great!

I wasn’t too sure how well this hydroponic system would work, as I have never owned one before. It was surprisingly easy to assemble, though! Most of the plants I’ve put in it (mostly flowers) sprouted quickly and are growing much more vigorously than the ones I have planted in soil! The instructions are very clear and the nutrient bottles provided have a clear fill line based off how much water you are putting in.The light on top is easy to adjust as things start growing more and puts out a good amount of light. So far everything that’s planted is happy as can be! I cant wait to see what else I can start growing, especially with how vigorous the plant growth has been so far!
