i took the chance on this LED technology. so far the growth has been much superior than i expected.

I liked this product. I am buying another.The light was very easy to set up. It is cool and light. My tomatos are doing well so far,but as they get bigger I think I will need another light.

After several years of chasing the sunshine when he starts his seedlings, my husband can finally plant them on the workbench. Things sprouted just when they were supposed to. Next step is to see how they grow!

Sunshine Systems GlowPanel 45 is the REAL DEAL. If you are used to the HPS or other lights that have more white light, it would seem weak in brightness but it works. Very efficeint light. I believe it has 104 5mm? LEDs maybe 108 (cant remember). The blue LED leans toward the violet side and the red LED is more pink, covering the proper spectrums and leaving out the other more visible spectrums. On the other hand, the coverage area of 5 SQUARE feet 2.5ft x 2.5ft is slightly over exagerated, the coverage is more in the 3.9 to 4.1 square foot good coverage range. Outside that the plants lean in toward center. Inside the plants turn a bright, vibrant, green. I have only had it for about a month and had to stop the growth cycle due to pests and "other" issues but they were healthy, vigorous plants. I have had two other LED panels of similar sizes. I would recomend this panel over any panel on Amazon under 160$ maybe as much as 300$. The GlowPanel 45 makes the 225 led panel look silly weak. GLOW YOUR OWN!

I have 3 tomato plants growing for the last 3 months solely under one of these lamps. I will say that I probably need a second one now that the plants are getting big but they are still growing fine. They do NOT grow as well as outdoors, of course, but .... Not sure this will work for with a full indoor garden as the tomato plants haven't started flowering as I would have expected yet but we'll see. This will be great for getting my tomatoes a 2 month head start on summer tomatoes. This will for sure be a perfect lamp for starting my entire garden early in February.

It's a good product, but the assembly, eyebolts with the smallest nuts imaginable--too small to handle, even with jeweler's tools. It's just absurd. The assembly should have been accomplished in the factory as preassembly wouldn't have negatively affected packaging/ease of shipping. I ended up jury-rigging with some difficulty. What were they thinking? Better yet, WERE they thinking?

For the past 10 years, I have been growing herbs, peppers and vegetables outside during the summer. Everything I plant is started by seed. I have made several attempts to bring different plants inside during the winter and none have made it. This winter, I was determined to be able to cook using fresh ingredients. I spent dozens of hours researching grow lights, hydroponics etc. I have read several scientific studies as well as reviews on different indoor gardening methods. My research led me to this 14 watt LED Grow Panel. I would have loved to have bought a metal halide lamp, however, there are some overwhelming reasons I did not. My plants are next to a window so they can get some natural sunlight during the winter. I did not want an excessively bright light shining from my window. I have four 100 watt metal halide lights around my house and they illuminate my 2 acre lot like its daytime. I cannot imagine what one of these lights would do indoors, not to mention the heat and possible fire hazard. My neighbors would probably think we are getting abducted by aliens. I ordered the grow panel and received it in just a couple of days. My grow light shines on two Thai pepper plants in their own pots, a pot of sage and two large pots with various tropical house plants. The room stays around 60 degrees (not optimal for growing) and all of the plants are thriving. The light is on a timer and stays on only from 7pm to 7am. During most of our Winter days, the sun barely makes an appearance. I had a sun room in my last home and was able to grow most things indoors (during the summer only). The one thing that NEVER grew indoors was any kind of peppers. The sun room would be a consistent 85 degrees with full sunlight. The pepper plants would look great but no peppers. As soon as I brought the plants outside, boom...peppers. Today, in the middle of Winter, my two pepper plants are sprouting a ton of new peppers. We have plenty of fresh sage and the house plants are as green as ever. All of this in 60 degree temperature. You will not go wrong with this product. In regards to the two negative reviews about this product. Compact fluorescents or tube lights DO NOT produce results anywhere close to this product. As far as the comment about "the whole industry would use this product if it worked", C'mon. Where have you seen commercial green houses use any type of grow light? Green houses/nurseries are a seasonal business. Why would they sell plants in January? Its much cheaper to import produce from southern climates than to populate a green house with grow lights! Incidentally, I had a minor issue with my grow panel 35+ days after it was purchased. The vendor replied almost instantaneously and went out of their way to make it right. If you plan on doing any indoor gardening or starting your own seeds, you will love this product!

This product it a piece of expensive junk. I feel I wasted a hundred and thirteen dollars. I brought two of these and tried them for several weeks. At the same time, I had a "Fluorescent Grow Light System" in place on another seedling. The results where that the seeds under these panels grew extremely slow and where extremely weak and fragile. Under the other system, the plants grew fast with thick roots, branches and stems. Everything else was the same, pot size, soil, water type and amt. Don't waste your money. You can get better result with just florescent lights.

The nursery industry is HUGE..if LEDs worked as advertised every green house in the country would have them.90% less electricity for better quality light? The government would pay you to install them!.Millions of dollars would be at stake and yet no one has converted whole commercial grows to LEDs.If the smart money hasn't jumped on after all these years of claims then it must not work.If I'm wrong, that's great! but until an independent nursery gets into the wall street journal because they installed leds therby slashing their costs, providing a better product,creating jobs and dominating the industry while being green I won't buy one.That's how revolutionary it would be if their claims were true.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT'S RIGHT UP MY ALLEY.! YUP.! G-G

The FlowerPot Men are a forgotten piece of the 1960's "Lets go to San Fran" is a great song however there are honestly some other great gems on this CD. As the material progresses you can see that the music was shifting direction. It starts out as kind of light psychadelic art rock, only to become a early formation of THE EDISON LIGHTHOUSE singng syrupy sweet bubble-gum ballads of the early 1970's. One point of interest is the fact that the Flowerpot Men used the Mellotron. This doesn't sound too strange until I realized that they they were on Deram records. Huh! TheMOODY BLUES were also on Deram records, were the FLOWERPOT MEN using Mike Pinders' Mellotron after hours??The songs were very ambitious however, the recordings are dreadfully muddy. However the album is still very enjoyable.

This thing is worth it's weight in gold. Bought it to move a Big Green Egg grill that was impossible with just my wife and I. Bought this, and we were able to move it around like it was 10 pounds. Seriously, the person that invented this should get a freakin medal.

I have to admit, I was skeptical, but this really worked and made life easier moving heavy plants into the house for the winter. I thought I would use it just myself as well, but it is truly a two person tool

Great tool for lifting pots. Used it to carry a six foot tall rubber tree in an 18" pot to our second floor. Made the job easy.

What a relief to own this product. It is so easy to use and makes moving our heavy pots around very easy!

This item does indeed do what it says with lifting heavy pots. It could use a bit more stabilization with the super large items but in general does exactly what it says. We've moved several huge rocks for the garden bed borders and also a big magnolia tree in pot and it did great. I'd recommend it. Easy to use, easy to store.

I found this very difficult to assemble and returned it. It would be better if received already assembled.

I have started a small garden in the hydrofarm. It was easy to set up. The pump is a little noisy so you don't want it in a bedroom. I so far have harvested salad greens. Now I'm working on trying to grow swiss chard, tomatoes, and green beans. It is a fun hobby. I am doing better with this then when I grow plants from seeds in dirt.

This system is great. I bought it in the middle of January and it is currently mid April and I have zucchini about a week or so from harvesting. It is so nice to be harvesting in the northeast as others are just starting to plant. I have the following things growing in my Emily's garden: strawberries, squash, zucchini, bell pepers, cucumber, and watermelon. I know it is pushing this system beyond what it is designed for as the reservoir is only about 2 gallons and if the watermelon ever get big they can go through that in a day. I have huge leaves (and I mean close to a foot wide) on the zucchini and squash and I'm putting in about 1/2 gallon of nutrient solution a day. I have pictures of the garden at www.mysimplehomegarden.com showing Emily's Garden in action and I also have blogged so people can see the history of how I got from an empty basement to a vegatable garden in my basement.

Emily's Garden is a terrific small kit for those wanting to grow plants indoors. It's a passive wick system. Very simple to set up and maintain. Perfect size for herbs and vegetables. After harvest, you can replace the wick material with felt from your local fabric store. Much more cost-effective than the stuff from a hydroponic shop. The air pump and hollow "air stones" or tubes can also be found at your local pet supply store, if you need to replace them.

I chose this unit after reviewing all the options for trying out hydroponic gardening, and now 30 days after receiving it and 29 days after starting seeds, I'm very pleased with the results. I've posted a picture so you can see how nicely everything is growing. Everything you need but a plant light and seeds is in the kit, and I started out with just 3 fluorescent bulbs and a southeast window, and salad garden seeds left over from last year's outdoor garden. The manufacturer makes commercial hydroponic systems, so I figured they would do a simple home system right, and they did. I'm thinking of buying a second one next winter, as this unit only takes up half the length of my plant light. What's not to like? The air pump does not fit its recess well, and I had to tape it in and pad it to keep in place without buzzing. They don't tell you whether to set the pump on "high" or "low"; low, I figured, and it seems to work fine. The system is all plastic, and one of the pots already had a minor chip in it when I got it. Finally, the instructions are awfully sketchy (just a single sheet) for a beginner, though they were enough for me, an experienced outdoor gardener who had already researched the subject on the internet.

ordered this with the vanilla oil, not as weak as the vanilla. if your looking for something for home or car glade plug ins are better

I've used many different incense over the years, including expensive hand-rolled creations with intoxicating fragrances and hand-harvested ingredients, but I always come back to Nag Champa. The scent is rich, sweet, musky and exotic. It's calming effect can be felt the moment a bit of smoke wafts into the atmosphere.

I purchased a 2X4 white deck planter through an outside vendor, 7 Gifts, on Amazon. Received the item quickly, however it was the wrong size and the wrong color. I contacted the vendor who said they did not have what I wanted in stock so I would have to return it to them so they could see what could be done. They said they would refund half the return shipping charges. Unfortunately, they never did. After several calls to 7 Gifts, they did refund my original purchase price (not including the shipping charges) but never refunded half the shipping charges. When I located the 2X4 white deck planter in their online catalog, they told me they didn't have this item in their line...they used a different vendor (even though it showed up in their catalog). All in all it was a bad purchase and I would never use this vendor again.

I am very happy with this product. I have purchased several of these and filled with herbs and flowers. They are perfect! They fit the deck easily, drain well, and are easily moveable - even when filled with dirt and plants. I can rearrange to accomodate guests or even to give the hummingbirds some cover. They are really great. I think I have 6.

These planters are lightweight but sturdy, with a larger capacity than I anticipated--I'd worried unnecessarily about having plenty of room for plant root systems. The planters fit over the deck rail securely, my plants have grown quickly, and the overall effect is just what I'd hoped for: growing flowers on my tiny deck without taking up precious space ON the deck. I also appreciate the fact that there is no chance they will become dislodged and fall. I plan to buy more of these.

The planter sits snugly on the patio railing. We have had some pretty hefty winds this past month and the planter stays put nicely. I bought 2 and they really looks nice -- one on each railing of the patio.

Planter hugs the rail and withstands strong winds without falling off! Great product! just what I ordered! Thanks You!!

I purchased this product for my 9 month old (who is on the bigger side, usually in the 75%tile for H&W) and its HUGE. It looked very cute in the picture but didn't fit the description really. The headpiece, which truly MAKES the costume, is very large and the petals are floppy and does not stay put because of the weight of the material.

The flower petals look as if they will stick out around her face, however this is not the case. They are just floppy and hang every which way. THe material is nice but it is very simply considering the price.

The blooms in the water were beautiful, but the tea itself hada very gritty, almost "earthy" taste to it which i didnt like. I used them to make interesting centerpieces because when they bloom its gorgeous, but I owuld not suggest actually trying to drink this stuff. Plus some of the "petals" get loose and float to the top which make it have that "gritty" taste.

Purchased as a birthday gift for someone that enjoys tea. She said it was very pretty and the tea tasted great. She didn't even need to add honey or sugar to the tea.

This tea is fantastic. Everyone I gave it to for Christmas also loved the tea.
