5.0 out of 5 starsLiterally got this on Tuesday and planted few seeds and couple days later, already seeing sprouts! I have this in our sun room which is a colder than the rest of the house but the heating mat i believe really makes a difference in helping the growth. Also, the lights are really pretty.

3.0 out of 5 starsThis kit comes with practically everything a beginner needs to start seed starting. It’s very easy to put together and set up.The seed starter trays and humidity domes are made of plastic. It’s light-weight and cheap, but not very durable if you plan on reusing it a lot. The small garden tools are the perfect size for the seed starter trays and are made of a more durable plastic than the trays and lights.You do have to make sure your timer works and isn’t faulty (so many are!). The timer also isn’t reliable in case of power outages or turning off the breaker. Once the power to it is cut, you have to manually set the timer again. I replaced my timer with a USB-C multi charging cable and smart plug, since it’s a lot more reliable.The heating mat is great but small, and only fits 2 seed trays at most. It would’ve been nice if they included enough heating mats to fit all the seed trays given.This set is great jumping off point for beginners.

2.0 out of 5 starsI had 2 issues with this product. First, each box has 5 complete trays and 1 heating pad. Only 3 trays can sit on the heating pad. There is no room for all 5 trays to sit on the 1 heating pad. The size of heating pad and tray sizes are not included in the description. Second, the LED lights need an adapter to be plugged in the wall and then the LED lights. You need to provide the adapter from your phone. The product description doesn’t mention the adapter.

1.0 out of 5 starsLids won’t stay on, I you turn the lights up they shut off. You have to keep them on a lower setting.

1.0 out of 5 starsLighting was very weak. I started marigolds, tomatoes, and peppers. The peppers did not germinate at all, the tomatoes and marigolds were extremely leggy. I had the light on full, and surrounded the boxes with tin foil to reflect more light in once I saw the plants becoming leggy- did no good. Also kept my plants extremely wet constantly, but that is probably user error by keeping the bottom trays too full. I ended up re-starting a new batch of peppers the way I normally do, repotted the tomatoes and marigolds, and made a makeshift greenhouse situation outside. The heat mat works pretty well, so at least it wasn’t a complete waste.

3.0 out of 5 starsDecent starter cell trays but the lights are bogus and causes very leggy seedling growth. Better off providing your own proper lighting.

1.0 out of 5 stars*** Update, there is very poor air flow and it is impossible to control the humidity with the tiny air holes, you can take off the lid but then you dont have the grow light. All of our progress was lost do to mold because of this issue. Very disappointed. My son is sad we lost our plants.It is our first time trying to grow vegetables. We planted our seeds 3 days ago and already have some sprouts! So it’s safe to say this is very beginner friendly. So far so good, it’s a pretty simple design everything you need other than soil and seeds, I did knock a star off because you need to plug it into a USB and every connector I have used with this gets very warm which is concerning, obviously i don’t want a fire starting. Not sure why it doesn’t just come with a regular cord instead of the USB or a usb adapter that doesn’t get hot while in use. We will keep an eye on it and if it becomes any more of a concern we will unfortunately have to go another route.

5.0 out of 5 starsBought this for my wife and daughter to start seeds for the garden this year. The light timer, the heated mat, the talents of my wife and daughter sure worked! We’ve planted all the starters and they are growing great! Now not to say every single seed was a success, that’s just not in the world of gardening, but this is probably the best seed starter lighted heated thingy we’ve ever used! Corn, bell peppers, serrano’s, jalapenos, tomatoes, sweet peppers, squash, and green beans so far, and we’ll have a pretty good crop this year.

5.0 out of 5 starsEasy to set up and use. Kept the seedlings moist. Easy to transplant from there.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is a great purchase. Great for a small set up. Lights have a built in timer. Kids vent well enough to prevent excessive moisture buildup. The heat mat is ideal for pepper seeds. I also used it for eggplant seeds. Nice even temperature for seed starting. The red/blue light combo provided just the right light necessary and seedlings did not stretch. I’m a retired horticulture professional and bought this in a lark to see if was effective. This set up worked surprisingly well. I purchased another brand at the same time to compare. This was the better of them, by far.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis had made growing from seeds a breeze! The rate that my seeds start sprouting with this system is much faster! The price can’t be beat as well! It’s fool proof!

5.0 out of 5 starsIt works very well. I have over a 50 plants starting.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood for germination, after that it’s absolutely not enough light to grow into seedlings. 3 stars for the convient little trays and scooper. Mat works well too.

5.0 out of 5 starsI found out when planning to tomatoes if I feel the cup halfway full of soil I use the miracle grow potting soil then put my tomato seed in when the tomato reaches the top or a little above it I added more soil and it has done wonders. The warming mat works great also I was able to get some bell peppers and jalapeno peppers to come up using this. When the seedlings touch the top you need to take the top off because I found that it harms the seedlings but this works great
