Plant and forget, nice way to grow tiny plants indoor
I bought three of these planters. These planters are good for quickly growing tiny/small plants, especially suitable for transplanting onto bigger pots. I also use the c&g sg 9 with experimental pods for quickly germinating and growing plants indoors and transplanting them to bigger pots outdoors. Since the small pods (totally 9) also serve as the pot for the plant, the plants will eventually become root bound. This also means the total amount of fertilizer delivered to the plant is also limited by the pod. The LED subsystem draws 13 Watts from the plug and has one red LED for every 2 white LEDs; my guess is that the total light output is somewhere near 700-800 lumens. The lamp stays on continuously for 16 hours post plugging in, and turns off for 8 hours, and then automatically turns on. You can plug it in at an early hour like 6am, so that the lights turn off during night time. The lighting intensity is okay for most herbs, but too low for good flowering and fruiting. Since the PPFD rating is missing, it would be useful if the manufacturers reports that metric. In my experience most pods will germinate. If something does not, you are out of luck because galaxus has no pod guarantee for pods bought here, but C&G will give a 10 euro store credit on their store. For growing the plants, one needs to just add water, whenever the built in float goes down to the 'low' level.
