sjzx 30-hole hydroponic system

The listing for this doesn’t specify the size and measurements. It’s a cute little starter hydroponic system. Started my seedlings today and if all goes well this little tower should be going in a couple of weeks. Extremely easy to set up. Came with all the pods and little greenhouse trays. Think this will be my indoor herb garden. Little expensive for the size. But seems very sturdy. Will try and update later. So far so good!

Easy to set up. Works great. Unfortunately it arrived with a big crack.

Using this as an indoor herb garden since we have such harsh winters and I get sick of starting them over each year. I am impressed as how easy this is to set up and is working perfectly. The size is nice for smaller plants/produce!

So far I've only had this product for a few weeks, the assembly was quite easy and the instructions were straightforward and simple. It came with a lot more supplies than what I saw listed in the description, which is very helpful and it even came with a smart plug for me to be able to connect it to my Alexa which is what I've had it set on to help with a watering schedule. I began germinating most of my seeds separately until I had Sprouts which I grew in the little sponges that came with the kit when they started sprouting I moved them into the little cages which you will then place in the hydroponic tower itself. At this moment I have little tiny Sprouts coming out of my sponges and the grow tower has been doing pretty good thus far. I also added grow light separately to help with of course supplementing the lack of sunlight within my indoor apartment. I definitely will be updating this in a few weeks or so to see how well these plants are doing. Thank you again

pump stopped working in less than a week. Notified them thru amazon website and waiting to hear back from them. will have to update then

The instructions are great for assembling. That’s it. You’re on your own from there! There are a bunch of random accessories with no instructions on usage. Do I use the plastic pots in the system? Do I put the seeds in the foam? What are the pebbles for and how do I use them? What are these pieces of cloth for? Ha. Nothing is explained. I used the QR code given, and again, it just explains how to assemble it. So, I’m on my own here just winging it. System and watering is put together just as described. Then you’re on your own lol.

I purchased my unit on 9/24/2024 and it arrived at my home 9/27/2024. It was so easy to set up and to get going. I have all 30 pods filled with Tiny Tim tomatoes, loose leaf lettuce, dwarf bell pepper, and barletta onions. So far so good. Everything is working great. I am so happy with my purchase.

I am really enjoying this tower and find that it works great (well worth the money) but you have to modify how you use it and not just go with the included items. For starters, try to stick to only planting in 3 of out every 5 cups/porta on each level, unless you are planting something incredibly tiny. They are a bit too close together for bigger stuff. Also, make sure you plant smallest at the top and larger at the bottom to let light through all the way down. As far as lighting, make sure you use more than one grow light with this tower to give coverage all the way around. Very important once plants start growing. Finally, don’t use the included grow medium (some kind of foam or sponge material that sucks). Buy yourself some peat plugs and they work great with this tower. Set yourself a schedule to check that water height every 3-4 weeks when seeds are sprouting and plants are small, then you every 1-2 weeks once plants are larger and start producing. I have 4 different herbs, 2 types of lettuce, and mini tomatoes growing on mine. It’s been going for about 6 months now and is producing regularly. If you grow certain types of plants, be sure to completely change out the water periodically to avoid build up on the pump filter screen and give good clean water to the plants. One final note, I learned the hard way, don’t use water that’s been put through a water softener system. It hurt my plants in this tower and in my deep water systems as well.
