Click & Grow Indoor Herb Garden Kit with Grow Light | Easier Than Hydroponics Growing System | Smart Garden for Home Kitchen Windowsill | Vegetable & Herb Garden Starter Kit with 9 Plant pods, Gray

Easy to set up. Plants are growing great. Used some plastic wrap to create a greenhouse for the plants during the winter. Would be nice if manufacturer had some sort of attachment to work as a greenhouse when the weather is a bit colder.

I moved to US about 20 years ago from far east region of Russia. Growing up my mom took me to the outside of the town to gather wild strawberries with bunch of relatives multiple times during the summers. In fact it was the sweetest berries you can get in the wild in my region. I enjoyed the harvest all the time. Furthermore she would brew wild strawberry jam and collect the jars in the basement for winter. It was memorable event every time the single jar gets put on the table during cold season! When I came to US I learnt the nobody cares about wild strawberries. The only place that sells the tinny jam jars was authentic east European stores. A single exporter to US was Belorussian company. And it was enough until recently. Then the sets of sanctions against Russia and Belorussia gets implemented again and again. Most of the Russians don’t care about wild strawberries but I do! Soon I could not find any wild strawberry jam for sale at all. I started looking into growing this plant and cooking the jam myself, just to remember my childhood. But being IT professional I don’t enjoy physical garden work and wild strawberries are not that spreader in NJ state wilderness where I live. I turned my attention to this product. I get to grow wild strawberries indoors for close to nothing effort! I hope I can get enough berries to brew a pound of wild strawberry jam! If this plan works I will be happy. I had first garden for a month and I see my plants are growing. I am still anxious to see the flowers and the berries. I decided to purchase a second garden. Perhaps I will buy more in the future. The only thing for improvement is that the pods are small and limited to 4 months of growth. I wish there was an option (for more invested customers) where I can grow one pod for 6 months and longer. I would buy advanced option with bigger pods. Overall I recommend this product. Thanks!

I had reservations, but the Click and Grow Garden has been awesome in my apartment kitchen. I love plants and have wanted fresh herbs, but with low sunlight and the blackest of thumbs (mostly forgetting to water) no option has worked. Easy to keep watered, especially with the floating indicator for water level -- even I can grow fresh herbs with this system!! Every morning my kid and I look excitedly for the latest plant development (literally) - what's sprouted, what the leaves and stems look like, how they grow. It's pretty exciting, and educational. The herbs all sprouted but cilantro (which is a known finicky plant to sprout). The lettuce grew so fast and so high! It was the monster crowding out other plants, so I popped its pod out using the label tab, and swapped with another plant. It was that easy! I bought a small packet of cilantro seeds and added them to the lagging cilantro pod and - whether it was the old or new seeds I don't know - soon had little seedlings. The dwarf pea plant was throwing out little vine tendrils so I taped a green ribbon over the grow light bar and to the pod, as a mini trellis - good thing it's getting huge and would crowd the other plants, and this way it is growing how it likes. Their customer service pinged me to check up on how it was working and anything they could do. (Excellent customer support!) I appreciated that touch, and felt like they really cared about making sure customers were happy. I had tried the AeroGarden, but it was bulky - taking up counter space - and ugly and stopped working. The Click and Grow has much more minimal lights, which I believe is LED or something similarly low power draw. In short, I love the Click and Grow Garden!

When reading the reviews for this product I was a bit skeptical to buy it, since all user photos seemed to show plants at the earlier stages of development only. I certainly did not see any photo showing fully grown tomato or strawberry plants resembling the seller's photos. But I am glad to say that after about 3 months of growing tomato and strawberry plants in my two units everything is developing nicely, as you can see in the photos. Nevertheless, taking into account the cost of plant pods (not to mention energy and water) I would say that the produce you can expect to collect from your plants will be much more expensive than the very best you would get in a farmer's market, and it is not even organic. Of course, I was aware of this before buying; for me the main attraction is the joy of seeing plants grow and attending to them with my kids. The reason why I took off a star is that plants will not develop as much as they should, and they will die sooner than they should, simply because their roots have no room to grow in the small growing pods. For someone who loves plants like I do, it is upsetting to see them die when they could thrive much longer. This is easy to correct if you use perforated cups, which Click and Grow theoretically sells. However, for the past 4 months I tried to buy such cups and they are never in stock!

Originally bought as a “I wanna try” and turned into... I need a few more! I love how compact the 9 slot planter is. I wanted I could put 9 different seeds in, although recommended to do 3 of 3 varieties. I love how to light bar is adjustable as it helps when each plant is just starting out. And as they grow you just add the extension onto it! Easy to set up, does not use much electricity for being plugged 24/7. Started with the basic starter of lettuce tomatoes and basil. Now want bell peppers and chili peppers! The basil and lettuce grew great. The tomatoes have not produced anything yet but they are getting tall! All in all love it for an indoor planter Edit: February 21st 2020 I have now successfully planted 4 other kinds of plants from large bell peppers to cucamelons to lemon starts and will continue to experiment

I really like this product. Its quality build, design, etc. But: - If you live in the UAE (or anywhere outside of the EU, UK, USA, Canada or Singapore) be aware that *you'll not be able to buy any replacements here*. Be it wicks, pods, germination domes – you name it – you cannot buy none of it outside the aforementioned regions. If you need a replacement for anything you just need to buy the whole thing again which, for obvious reasons, makes little sense. - The variety of available seeds in this part of the world is also *very* limited. - Besides that, it is a bit annoying that there's no way to set up the light timer. Only if you have the PRO version. If I had known this beforehand, I wouldn't have bought it.

This works amazing! We are enjoying every stage of growth - it takes about 3 weeks to see progress and then it really takes off. It is easy to use and so far nothing has died.

Absolutely love the click and grow. I travel often and am away from home for weeks at a time. Even when I'm at home, I can't seem to keep a plant alive... the number of orchids/flowers I've killed regardless of the research I've done and money/time I've spent on products and what to do, nothing seems to help (never even attempted edible plants)! I live downtown and have always wanted a garden but don't have the space and can't dedicate the time. When I read the criticisms around this product, it mostly comes from true gardeners; this is not a replacement for a gardener and obviously won't compare to the real deal. I read about 'stunted plants because of lack of room for root growth' - this is not meant to be a forever garden or for re-planting. The plants last max around 90 days from my experience. You should be aware of what your buying, it's a nice little fix for the city dweller.. and it really does do the trick for those of us who can't keep plants going to save our lives! I use the app and it gives me the piece of mind (as a non-gardener), that it's not me, the plant need x-amount of time. The only criticism I'd have is that it'd be nice if they publicized the plant's longevity/bundled those that are similar; it'd be nice to have that info ahead of time so I can buy plants with the same lifecycle so some aren't at peak while others are maturing. Not a big deal to many, I know. But if you're away for a while, I would buy a plant with a longer lifecycle so I could enjoy it more. Excellent product, it's so nice to wake up and see the daily progress and progress over time with minimal effort (literally just need to add water every few weeks) and have edible plants! I've killed so many basil plants from being away too long and now I'm free from worry and have the peace of mind to travel and have the (mini) garden I always wanted!

I purchased this one instead of another brand because of how easy it is to clean. Plants grow well but the lights don't seem to be as powerful as competitor's lights, so the greens don't grow as fast as I would like, but still a good option. Keep in mind that you do need to keep the temperature around 20 degrees C. I had this sitting in a room with the heat turned down low (so around 15 degrees) and none of the plants really grew until I moved this to a warmer location.

I like everything about this product. I love I can grow so many things at once. It has a stronger light than the click and grow three pod set. Every other light looks like a heat lamp. It is not so bright and glaring at night when it’s on. It has high enough arms with strong enough lights that one doesn’t have to have a second arm to fit in when the plants grow too tall. This makes it much easier to use.
