Nutrabinns Hydroponic Systems | Aeroponics Tower Garden with LED Grow Lights - Hydroponics Growing System for Fresh Herb Garden, Fruits & Vegetables (48 Sites)

I really love this Aeroponics system! My wife and I have been thinking about getting some sort of hydroponics system for two or three years. We got the Hydroponic Garden Tower Aeroponics system, which has 48 holes with baskets you can put all kinds of stuff in to grow--lettuce, spinach, herbs, etc. Favorite so far: spring onions. We just used the ones you get from the grocery store and after using most of the plant in a salad, we put the bulb part (maybe 3 inches of it) into some of the plant baskets and they're growing like crazy. Not sure, but we may never need to buy them from the store again--just harvest the new growth every couple of weeks!The aeroponics part is really cool because your plants don't sit in standing water like with some other setups. The plants really benefit from having plenty of oxygen on their roots. The system does spray the roots with water at a timed interval you specify. We learned, to my pleasure, that the sprayers are plenty strong and we only have to spray for a few seconds every 8 minutes (we could probably get away with going longer, but we want to make sure the roots don't dry out).Setup was very straightforward. The pieces all fit together easily (we had our 10-year-old help), and the only trouble I ran into was due to me not reading the instructions (for example, I wasn't sure which hole on the pump was In (it's the left side) and which was Out (it's the right side) and I reversed them initially. The pump is designed to hold the tubes very securely once attached, so don't do like I did!We learned that there are all kinds of nutrients you can get with different levels of Nitrogen, etc. We just stuck with one from a major brand that's a single liquid mixture. We got a few things to help us keep the water at ideal levels for the plants: a turkey baster (to easily extract water from the system so I can test it daily), a digital pH meter and digital TDS meter (less than $20 each on Amazon), some food-grade 3% hydrogen peroxide (not necessary, but I just put a few teaspoons in the water every few days because it's supposedly good for the plants), and some pH Up and pH Down liquid to raise or lower the pH of the water as needed. All of this stuff is inexpensive on Amazon. Based on what I've read, I'm keeping the pH levels as close to 6 as possible and the PPM (Parts Per Million--helps you know how much nutrients are available to the plants) between 700 and 800. I guess different plants like different amounts depending on the plant type and the stage of growth, but I like to keep things simple and this is working for me.If I have one regret, it's that I didn't get the model with the grow lights included. I frankly didn't think far enough ahead on this, thinking we'd put the unit near our sliding glass door to get light. But if you get their grow light option, you can put the unit anywhere and make sure it's getting the kind of light it needs.Overall, I'm very happy with this model! My hat's off to Nutraponics and their excellent design.

The one that came not broken seems to work good... the other one that came the bottom that holds the water was broken.The box was also in terrible shape and it was the post office who delivered it...so i sent that one back...I have a extra high end grow light i'll use the one working once my seeds come...Over all it looks pretty good if your items come unbroken...But that's more due to who was handing the item when its shipped...I prefer Fed x over ups Oddly Their is no Ups in this area and it was the US mail who dropped the items off on the porch... If it was not for the broken one that came i would probably Give this a 5 star...

The media could not be loaded.  I don’t have enough space to plant and this Aeroponics Tower Garden system is great for limited spaces. It has everything you need to plant. It includes the net pots, the sponge bed for the seeds, timer, water pump and a new system for watering. It’s like sprinkles, so every plant is going to get water. This is amazing. The water pump is bigger than other systems I’ve seen, so it’s stronger for watering all the plants. The price is the best when you compare it with other Aeroponics Tower Garden. I also like the color black and white of the tower. The product is easy to install, and the seller provided me many videos for the complete installation. I recommend watching the videos for the pvc water pipe installation. I received extra pvc, extra net pots and extra sponges. This product is not heavy, so it is easy to move around. I’m planning to plant different kind of lettuces and I’m going to post the progress of my plants in my social media.

My box came in good shape, no external damage. The instructions need improving but was able to figure out assembly well enough. The pump is quiet but, it is not priming. I discovered the fittings were leaking, that is most likely why. Odd thing is, those pipes were preinstalled by manufacturer and I do not see why they would leak other than inferior quality. They are quick connect style and are fully seated. As a consumer anxious to try this, I am not pleased so far. Hopefully the manufacturer will have a reasonable solution.Given the other negative comments on pump related perfromance issues, leaks and lack of pressure output with clean water, I cannot imagine how it would hold up once organic matter begins to play.

The growing system is very well engineered and sturdy and is a fantastic choice for someone looking to get into hydroponics. It comes with everything you need in order to get started. Assembly went relatively smoothly, the online guide walks you through it. I look forward to getting my seeds started and to finally have my very own garden indoors. I would definitely upgrade to the larger unit with the LED lights if I were to do it again.
