I am genuinely excited about this product. The overall design uses quality materials and there are only a few minor dislikes that I'll address at the end. The metal stand is very sturdy, no wobbling or concern about stability at all. For the listed price, I was expecting flimsier or thinner material but was pleased to find this is not the case. I'm sure plant size may alter the overall stability in terms of tipping, so keep that in mind when planting. The pots and reservoirs are a very thick plastic. No concern about plants busting out or them accidentally being damaged during shipping. The pots are a little over 7" in diameter and just over 5" in depth. The bottom of the pot extends almost an inch into the reservoir, making it secure when placed on top. The reservoirs are nearly 2 1/2" deep. The plastic used for the reservoir is much thicker and stronger than the one for the pot. This adds stability to the connection and I do not see it breaking under the weight of the filled pot. It is darker in color but slightly transparent to help you see the water line. The thick plastic part that connects the pots to the stand are made of thick plastic. I don't see them easily breaking. They hold the reservoir with a tab/slot kind of connection. I think the portion on the reservoir is thick enough to hold up to the weight of the pot with plant. The light is well designed, easy to place onto the stand and adjust height wise. It stays in place when locked and does not slide. I'm unsure of it's strength and how it'll do when growing vegetables. I think it would be great for houseplants. Things I disliked: The instructions are basic, which is ok since it's fairly easy to put together, but the print size of the text and images need to be a little larger. The plastic part you use to connect the pots to the stand are difficult to push and easy to pinch yourself if you're not careful. When it came to the metal poles you put together to build the stand, only one capped pole was included. This means one of your two poles will be uncapped. This bothers me as we have spiders that like to move into open poles like this. I'm not sure if it just wasn't included or isn't included in general. There was also no extra caps included. Overall excited to use this.
I LOVE these lights. I use these almost exclusively for my aroids (except the ones in the cabinet) because they're perfect for my setup. The daisy chain function is awesome! I have about 16 lights and most are plugged into one smart outlet on a timer. I like that they offer a mix of timers and without, and also a mix of tabletop, tripod, and clamp. I have all 3 styles without the timer spread throughout my living room and one timer in my bedroom. I love these and they're strong enough for my tropical plants, specifically my variegated plants. I'm particularly happy with the growth on my syngonium chiapense variegated, which had low variegation when I bought it. Now it's popping out half moons! I also have a philodendron Jerry Horne which flowered under these lights so I know it's happy. Overall, I'm happy with the quality, lightweight nature, and functionality of these lights. They are strong enough and are very easy to use/setup and takedown when necessary. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for good grow lights.
I wanted a small greenhouse for my yard to grow tomatos and basil and this little greenhouse has worked great so far. I thought it was very easy to assemble (might be a bit trickier for folks who don't like to assemble things.) Here is why I gave it 4 stars and not 5: - Wood is very light and not very strong - you can split it easily so be careful - they should use one grade of heavier wood at least. - It's not really tall enough for large tomato plants - mine are growing, but they are smashing against the roof now. - They should include tabs to connect the lower bed part to the upper roof/opening part (I connected them myself with screws and small brackets. If you do not secure the top half it will surely get damaged in a summer thunderstorm. Overall I like it though! The plants seem happy in it and it keeps the critters out!
So far so good! We got the first four kinds listed in the booklet. The tools are cute and come with a little bag, the growing guide could be a Lottie more scientific, but I suppose it’s trying not to scare people off with details like what “not too cold” mean. We’re really excited to try these… we live in Utah but have successfully germinated plumeria in a room in our house. We have a really good setup already.
The product comes in two parts, the bottom and the top which is removable. Although it’s a large unit the weight is surprisingly low. Therefore, if you plan to use it outside in windy areas you might need additional brackets (not included) to secure the top part. The transparent plastic panels are held like pictures frame backing with bendable metal clips. I wonder how this arrangement works with snow. The assembly: if you ever worked with a screwdriver and did minor carpentry jobs it’s not a problem putting it together. Although the package includes a screwdriver, I highly recommend an electric screwdriver. There are tens of screws which need to be installed. The hinge screws are probably the most difficult to set in. The wood pieces have labels and it’s easy to identify them. The wood quality is surprisingly good and nicely finished.
The instructions and markings on the parts leave a lot to be desired. Assembly would have been easier and faster if those 2 things were taken care of. My son and I spent 2 days putting it together. I could have sworn I ordered a 20 foot, but it says 25 foot. We were shorted 2 long screws, but made due. We put T posts at each end to secure it better, as the ground was soft after digging and the little screw anchors wern't much help. So, far it's doing good. I put my 6 week old turkeys in it till they get big enough to face the world. I'll put raised beds and pots of plants in when I put them out. I look forward to being able to fall/winter garden this year. It does build condensation when it's closed up FYI. There's definitely a difference in temperature inside, compared to outside. I think it's a decent value for the money. It looks like a big catapiller on the hill, lol! I need antennas for it.
This plant light does a great job for my plants that can’t get enough natural light. There isn’t a timer on this one. It’s a switch. I hook it up to my own timer and the lights last a very long time. This is much brighter than I thought it would be. It will work for a large plant or a few smaller plants. This light can be adjusted for height and is very stable. It’s great value for the money.
Shipped quickly and fit right over my existing frame. Packaged carefully. Highly recommend.
Nice product. Only thing I’d improve is the screw holes should be in both pieces. When joining two pieces, the screw hole is only on the top piece. Having a pilot hole in the mating piece would make assembly easier. Pieces were labeled, and screws separated into sizes which makes things easier. A modification I did was to add screw eyes into the corner pieces in both the top and bottom sections. Then I put wire ties through the eyes to hold the two pieces together. Since the top is quite light. I feared the wind might blow it off. The wire ties secure the setup. I also put this on patio bricks, to raise it up and protect from ground moisture since the area I have it in has some puddling during the rain.
Overall, the greenhouse is very good and I would recommend it. Installation took about 4–5 hours on my own. The instructions had a couple of unclear parts or minor errors, but nothing too serious. There are two design issues worth mentioning: 1. You can’t close the door from the inside, which is a bit inconvenient. I hope this gets improved in future versions. 2. The post used to prop open the small top window sticks out, so you’ll need to be careful not to bump into it when entering. Other than that, I’m happy with the purchase!
Vivosun products in general is worth it. I got this to grow anything and everything. It’s the size I was looking for but they sell a wide variety of different sizes for what ever size close to what your looking for. It’s easy to set up the directions are simple and the quality of the product is nice. Especially the hub to link everything together is a great feature so you can monitor everything with your phone and ease of use with the vivosun app. I bought the fan separately with the picture I provided. The size I bought was the 2ft x 2ft x 4ft
These work even better than I expected. They fit solo cups very well, especially the square bottom cups. I plan to use these to move seedlings to the garden. I haven't tested them with plants, so time will tell if they end up top heavy.
Went up easily with just me myself and I putting it together in a couple of hours. Didn't know if was gonna still exist when the storm came in but it held up surprisingly. Glad I got this up but this is also the first year I've had it so who knows. But I will say I buried the base of the frame in the dirt with large rocks on top of that. But in it's current state it is eating some 50mph wind gusts without a problem.
Not bad takes 6hr to put together. However the instructions are horrible was the hardest thing to figure out witch took 1.5hr out of the 6hr
Damaged corners. Order was split and late.
