1-Pack Seed Starter Kit, 40-Cell Tray, LED Lights and Heat Mat | 10"x20.75" Seedling Heating Mat, 3.6" Higher Cover, Adjustable Vents, Drainage Holes, Propagation Tray for Planting Seeds

Impressive starter kit. Fit and finish are very good. The price is competitive with other brands, however the durability is questionable. The plastics are on the thin side. However, sturdy because it is square shape. The longevity depends on how one respects their belongings. All settings and accessories function per the description. The heating mat temperature and the thermostat control are relatively accurate (+/- 1° f). The built in timer is optional to use and changes colors depending on the schedule (Off, 8/16, 12/12, 18/6). The selector switch provides feedback with a solid feel and loud click sound so you definitely know you pressed the selector button. So does the entire household. The light intensity settings and timer settings have memory as long as it is connected to a power source. Unplug the power cord and all settings are lost. An external timer is a no go. A power outage will definitely be inconvenient. The light panels lay nicely snug in their designated position. Nothing to secure them in place. Use slight care when removing the lid. Perhaps secure the light panels with painters tape (less adhesive) for easy removal. Test time… The readings will fluctuate by a couple numbers depending on the ambient lighting. I tested the lights in a well lit living room; artificial lighting/natural ambient lighting from windows. I tested the PPFD (umol/m2/s) and DLI with the Photone Pro app with their optional (recommended) diffuser. The phone with diffuser was then placed on top of the seed tray. Sprout level. PAR setting is on Full Spectrum lighting. READINGS: Light intensity = PPFD / DLI (18 hours of light). Intensity 25% = 46 PPFD / DLI = 2.99 Intensity 50% = 87 PPFD / DLI = 5.74 Intensity 75% = 129 PPFD / DLI = 8.48 Intensity 100% = 168 PPFD / DLI = 11.0 *PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) *PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) *DLI (Daily Light Integral) In conclusion, Thumbs up!

I purchased this to streamline the process and it has done just that. I’m able to place rock wool or soul directly into the tray. The dome with vents is great and I’m able to control the humidity within fairly easily. The leds fit securely into the lid and have adjustable power and timers for all cycles. The heating pad works great! Makes it super easy to keep the unit at a constant temp. It’s a bit flimsy as far as the plastic but that’s pretty much expected. Easy to clean up and start a new round. I’d definitely recommend this!

Lights aren’t strong enough and causes the plants to get leggy. Temperature isn’t as accurate as other setups I have done. I think it would be better if you included a temp probe that actually goes into the soil to monitor the soils actual temp. Still works but not the greatest.

My seeds sprouted in 36hrs with this.

Great way to start seeds! I love this seed starter, it function well and the build quality is great. The heating mat doesn't work as well as my Vivosun heating without the thermostat but it is what it is. The design is good except for no real way to secure the lights from moving around other than that I love this thing. Definitely a good buy, could be a bit cheaper.

This is a great all in one seed germination kit. The warming mat and lights seem good and the lights have a built in timer for 8,12, and 18 hours on which is great. Unfortunately, like every bad review, the dome was badly cracked. I called the customer service and spoke to a live person which was nice. I was hoping to just get a new dome sent to my house but they do not offer this option. They instead offered a partial refund or I could just send the whole thing back to amazon. I was able to repair the crack with clear packaging tape so I took the partial refund. Just a warning though, I do not see a way to just buy the seed tray from vivosun so if it breaks, you will have to buy a different brand and the LED light bars will not likely fit in other brands. I was going to give 4 stars since I do think the value is good even though the dome cracks easily but I decreased it 3 stars because this has got to be a well known issue at this point with so many reviewers having the same problem.

Just unpacked it and set it up. Looks like reasonably good quality. I’m excited to see how it goes!

Very flimsy and cheaply made. If you are looking for durability, go elsewhere. Literally looks like something from Temu. Thinner plastic than a Solo cup. Very disappointed to say the least.

I've used this seed starter kit for 2 seasons now and I'm overall pretty impressed with it. The cells are quite small so up potting comes pretty quickly after the seeds sprout but that's standard. My only complaint is that the thermostat for the heating mat is inside the mat and not an external sensor that I can put in an empty cell with soil in it. That's on me though and is no fault of this kit.

No sirve la manta térmica, no calienta. No sé puede hacer reemplazo para únicamente el artículo defectuoso, únicamente es devolución, si yo devolvía perdía las semillas sembradas. No hay contacto con el vendedor

Seems to be a great set up. Just started using it. 3 light settings for duration on/off. Heat pad setting is easy to use, using 75f now. Grow light has 4 brightness settings. Think this will be a great starter set. I would recommend it.

Ein tolles Anzuchtset mit Licht und pflanzschale. Hier fühlen sich meine Sämlinge wohl. Temperatur ist einstellbar über die Fernbedienung.
