VIVOSUN Hydroponics Growing System 72 Plant Sites, 2 Layers 8 Food-Grade PVC-U Pipes Hydroponic Gardening System Grow Kit with Water Pump, Pump Timer, Nest Basket and Sponge for Leafy Vegetables

Super easy to assemble and operate. Directions were simple to understand.

The first and last pictures were taken 17 days apart. I am using two 32 watt GE seeds and greens bulbs for the half of the system that are on for 15 hours a day. I am using a three part dry grow mix I also got from Amazon. For my water supply I am just using a five gallon bucket that I’ve only had to refill once, but again I’m only using half of the system. The water is a little loud when it’s falling to the lower level so I’ve turned the pump off when I go to sleep. I had a little algae growth after the first week, but I haven’t changed anything and it seems to not be getting worse.Over all a great system for the lack of effort I had to put in and the cost. Unfortunately the second level doesn’t get enough light now that the top row has filled out (see picture) so I will be looking at getting more pvc to try redesign it to have a more vertical layout. I imagine that those growing outside won’t have this issue. If you’re growing inside though then I’d recommend getting one of the other systems from vivosun.Another draw back is vivosun does not sell anything separately which is disappointing because it’s otherwise a great system.

It leaked where the pipes were stressed in the middle. I used water tape to stop it.I tried aquaponics with the fish tank. It never did well. Things barely grew. Just water and fertilizer would probably do better. It's a cool set up and it might work for you but didnt for me. It does look good and the timed water pump worked well.I'm not trying to talk you out of it. I'm going to try it again this year without the fish tank. It'll be great if i can get veggies to take off.

I was not a fan of this purchase when it arrived, but the company reached out and took care of the issue.Vivosun is a solid company with many great products

I regret glueing the pipes. initial assembly required some effort since the pipes did not hold in place even when fitted tightly as one part would get loose while trying to put together another piece. i then used PVC glue to hold it together. But regretted doing so, since some openings were misaligned and tilted to one side. Did not notice the tilt until I ran the system.

Not too bulky so it doesn't take much space. Easy to construct. So far so good. I have mine full of strawberries.

Hi- The water pump is broken. Please send a working water pump. Thanks!

Definitely could use more in-depth growing instructions for anyone who’s a novice to hydroponics.

Very easy to assemble, came with all the instructions to assemble. Timer is a good option because the pump runs only five minutes for every 30 minutes, 10, 15 minutes Options are also there. Works very good. At present I am using foam cubes but later on I will use Rock wool. It’s a good product. I am not sure it’s easy or not easy for supplier to add little instructions for hydroponic system and ph level, just little, although it’s not their duty but if added it can help.Grateful to have this product. I am just not aware how the warranty will work. Amazon or the company who is responsible. It feels good that plants are taken Care of and now I just need to replace water in few days that’s all rest everything is good, if any one wants to do gardening without much efforts this is one of the good options.
