SunBlaster Self-Watering Growlight Garden

I got mine for a Christmas present and just set it up with my BioDomes last week. Setup was really much easier than I anticipated, and the system works exactly as described (just be sure to plug the cord into the lights before you affix the lights to the dome ... the directions are a bit backwards there). I started my marigolds on Sunday; by Tuesday morning, they were sprouting!

tired of seed failures,this makes seed planting cleaner and better

I bought this light set to start my raft plants in. With the seed blocks and the sponge inserts it is doing exactly what I wanted. The foam seed blocks float on the water in the bottom tray and my plants are sprouting nicely. The tray is not too large so I may be buying another for next year's production and I do plan to grow leaf lettuce and spinach all year round between my outdoor aquaponic beds and this grow light sustem for winter. The only downfall of this system is the raising and lowering of the light bar. It has a thumb screw on each end that has to be loosened and tightened simultaneously, or pretty much simultaneously. It takes two hands with good control to do it. Someone with severe arthritis in their hands may not be able to do it. So far I am pleased with the system. I expect it will last many, many years with maybe just a lightbulb replacement.
