VIVOSUN 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

I absolutely love this for starting 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!

So the biggest down fall is the lid I don’t know if it’s the how they package it or when it got delivered but the lid does not seal so I bought some clamps to hold it down just had to invest more money maybe that why it was cheap. Pros:Very easy to assemble, easy to use, it’s a good starter size, not to big and it hold the moisture Cons: the lid is made of plastic which was a damaged and didn’t seal

The warming pad worked fantastic for my pepper seeds and the lights fit right into the lid to make them the perfect distance for the sprouts

This was a great kit with everything you need. Adding the plant identifying markers was a great touch. Please read the instructions the first time, unlike me. I thought the heating mat was turning off and not working. The screen just goes to sleep and you can awaken with the temp button. I used a laser pyrometer to test it while the screen was off and temp remained at set point. I'm very happy with the purchase and would buy again.

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.

I liked this product very much.it got my tomato seeds started and growing up quickly. Very easy to setup excellent product for the price.

The Vivosun mat I received did not heat up. I called for customer support just got rerouted to Amazon for a survey.

Es un kit demasiado útil,me ayudo a tener a las plantulas en un ambiente óptimo para su fase, ahorrando espacio en la carpa de cultivo y asegurar la germinación, además por el precio es una increíble opción, un tapete termico el cual es muy útil para germinar o enraizar esquejes en invierno y un par de luces muy potentes para el tamaño y el costo (yo las uso al máximo de intensidad incluso los primeros días de germinacion el domo ayuda a que no reciban exceso de luz) las plantulas se desarrollan a muy buen ritmo con estas luces, el tapete termico además cuenta con un termostato que se agradece ya que e visto algunos que solo se conectan y estos calientan tanto como los dejes contestado y a cierta temperatura, este ayuda a tener una temperatura justa y no tener que estar al pendiente de excedente con el calor o que las plantas pasen frío. Honestamente me sorprendió lo útil que me resulto este kit ya que me ahorra mucho espacio y puedo tener a las plantulas creciendo a buen ritmo, por el precio me parece una increíble opción en especial por la autonomía de sus componentes(las luces incluyen timer y su tapete incluye termostato), el platico no es muy grueso pero tampoco es barato ni delicado, la mia llego un poco doblada de una esquina pero nada estético ni que afecte, es muy útil, de bastante buena calidad, te ayuda a controlar de mejor manera la etala de germinacion, platula o enraizamiento, además barato así que no creo que te arrepientas de comprarlo .

Started my seeds and got pretty much 100% succes rate with it so very happy. I used a bbq thermometer to confirm the actual temp on the controller is within 1f from real soil temp, even without a dedicated probe like the more expensive ones.

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

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.

Super
