Great product and convenient
Great product that allows you to propagate and grow in limited space such as a apartment year round without compromising living space. The grow cubes are awesome my seeds germinated within a few days with the help of the Led in the kit. I will be ordering a second kit in the spring to transfer plants onto balcony for outdoor raise beds.

Strong kit with everything.
This is a great all-in-one package. I love the tray, dome and light. The tasty and some are thicker than most I've used in the past. The dome even has corrugated sides to make it more stable. The light that fits right over is prefect. It keeps my babies in perfect humidity.

Works amazingly well!
Im brand new to growing micro greens and sprouts so I need all the help I can get. I have tried other growing solutions like hydroponic machines but they didnt work for me or just grew mold. With this dome kit, some soil, covering and weighting down my seeds for the first 3 days, I was able to sprout nearly every pea seed I planted! I couldn't believe it! The plants just love the light fixture and really perk up when its on. I like that its adjustable/dimmable. Im really happy with this easy set up and how I can grow micro greens in dishes easiely in ny kitchen.

Excellent Seedling Growing Stations
I have a small 2-acre orchard and farmstead in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, with a 1000-sq.ft. garden and I grow a lot of food. I have been using only a greenhouse and outside direct sowing for all my plantings, but decided it was time to get a jump on the planting season because I sometimes loose crops in the late fall frost that I might have been able to harvest earlier if I had a seed starter station.So, I decided to order two of these seed stations. One with the round Coco starter pucks, and one with a plain tray so that I could use my own soil mix of composted manure, peat moss, Vermiculite, and perlite. In place of the one with the plain tray, they accidentally sent me a unit with the brick of Coco Coir, so I mixed that into my soil with the peat.I’ve received these seedling stations after the planting season, so I can’t say how well it works for my seedlings yet but turning it on it is a good amount of light and I like the extra tall domes. I consider myself very attentive to updating reviews, and I will return to update about how these worked in my greenhouse in the early Spring.Pros:- Each kit has an extra tall 7-inch dome that has two adjustable vents on top to adjust humidity levels.- Each kit has a large 6500K full spectrum LED Grow light with 2,200 lumens output an optional dimming switch. It is a 120-volt light that draws 22-watts at 0.3-amps.- The lights are very, well, light! They weigh only 6.4-ounces, so they can be used on other light domes or suspended from something that may not be able to handle something heavier. They work in temperatures anywhere from -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, a much greater range than is needed for seedlings.- The light units have optional hangars (although they are very short at only 7-inches long), or they can be mounted by placing the lights on the domes, or with included suction cups if using it on a dome by another manufacturer.- Comes with well written instructions and a general grower’s guide that is nicely comprehensive which includes all manner of growing including propagating cuttings and using hydroponics.- The grow light has a 2-year warranty.Cons:- The are exhaust ports only on the top of the domes, and not on the sides, so it is hard to get good air flow if needed.- The domes are quite flimsy and wavy, and it is hard to keep a flat structure on top, and I can’t see them lasting beyond a few growing seasons.- The trays, although sturdier than the domes, are a bit flimsy compared to other trays that I have. For the price, I would have expected sturdier domes and trays.- There is no timer for the light system, so I’ll have to manually remember to turn them off each night or plug a timer into the extension cord into which these are connected.Despite the cons, these are very nice seedling kits and I appreciate the extra height that the domes provide. Based on the flimsiness of the domes, I do think the kits are a bit on the pricey side, but I really like how much better these lights are than the competition. However, I really think an included timer would have been a worthwhile endeavor for the manufacturer.

Great dome for germinating a bunch of plants at once
This Viagrow Seedling Station Kit with LED Grow Light is a fantastic Propagation Dome.Everything is included in a small package: the medium, the lights, the dome, etc.It's a great starter kit for anyone who wants to get into gardening.My seedlings seem to do well in it too.Would recommend!

Great light and concept, flimsy dome and tray
Flimsy tray, flimsy dome.I really like the grow light with optional dimmer switch. It comes with mall suction cups to help it stay on the lid, which is the more convenient option as compared to hanging the lights, but the humidity dome is so flimsy that the light causes it to bend. I would not expect it to last multiple seasons.For the price, I'd expect a sturdier product. I'll be using this with my strong seedling trays (honestly I'll just toss the one it came with, it's that bad) and just hope I can handle the dome gently enough that it lasts a whole season.The coir starters are a nice extra, but really I'd rather just have a sturdy product I can count on for several years and I sadly don't think this is it.

Does the job
This product arrived quickly and in minimal packaging. Let me start by saying that this product does and is as described. The lights are bright and it comes with literally everything you will need to get started with the exception of the seeds and water. There are a few negatives. The first is the price, this item is expensive. In essence this is 2 pieces of flimsy plastic, a few dirt cups, and an led light. I feel the best part of this is the LED light, you can lay it on top of the unit or even hang it above which is a bonus as you can use it for other growing projects. I cannot justify the price tho, but the unit will do as described. You might also want to invest in a heating mat to put under it.
