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.

bought the vanilla, strawberry, and the rose, if looking for car or home not very strong smelling

Wonderful aroma, the beautiful smell of roses; however, even though it's concentrated, i wish it came in a larger size.

Reviews

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 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.

I purchased two sets of the blooming jasmine and green flower teas as Christmas gifts. The recipients were thrilled to have received such interesting presents. Both of them raved over the uniqueness and fantastic tastes of the teas. The only negative with these gifts is that it will be a little more difficult to purchase something these hard to buy for relatives will find as delightful this next Christmas!

I got these as a gift for my mom, who is an avid tea drinker. The blooms opened and were not nearly as pretty as I thought they'd be. They looked more like seaweed. The taste was terrible, granted, I only tried the jasmine, maybe the green tea is better.

The tea tastes decent (I have tried the jasmine so far), but I wasn't as thrilled by the presentation. I was expecting a breathtaking and colorful bloom. Instead, I poured the water over the tea ball, and it just floated lazily to the top. As the hot water soaked in, the bland colored tea leaves slowly opened and revealed...a wad of more bland colored tea leaves in the middle. It eventually sunk to the bottom and sat there looking like a hunk of pond weeds. The only color whatsoever was a few tiny pink petals that floated on the top of the water. Someone walked into the room and asked (with a trace of disgust), "What is that? A sea anemone?" So, if you just want to drink a delicate tea, these would be fine. But don't expect to the wowed by the blooming action.

The tea arrived quickly and beautifully packaged. It was perfect for a gift, and I kept some for myself. It is absolutely delicious. I will definitely order again. The price is much better than most others I've found.

I fell in love with flowering green teas from our local tea shoppe, but I was very dismayed with the price ($4/ball!!!). I was elated to find this listing since it amounts to about $1.50 per tea ball and it tastes great, better than what we get at the fancy store. It has a light delicate flavor that doesn't get bitter at all! You can make five pots of tea without degradation of flavor or any increase in bitterness. Highly recommended!

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.

The fancy tea (blooming flowers) I received was very old and dried up, when I put the boiling water over the blooms they were so dry they fell apart into tons of little pieces and never bloomed, they just looked like blobs instead of the beautiful blooms I've had before from my local tea shop. Lesson learned.
