Awesome kit - LED is amazing.
The tray is thick. The dome is nothing to write home about but it is no better or worse than any other dome I’ve used. It does have a nice raised molding for the LED to sit on so it’s worth it with the LED.What is special here is the LED. The light spectrum is 6500K. I searched high and low looking for this spectrum. This gives off more of a blue-white color. This color spectrum encourages rooting and closer internode spacing. (Short dense growth as opposed to lanky spaced out growth).The dimmer is also a really cool feature. It’s hard to find a low powered LED with a dimmer. If the led is placed ontop of the dome the PAR readings are 20-250par, with my sensor being 6 inches off the tray bottom.I liked it enough that I bought a few more.

wish i would've know about this when i first began growing.
i had just recently purchased this when i realized that when the winter time comes it's hard to get some stuff to grow, since i've been using this stuff that seemed like it took forever to sprout was popping up within 2-3 days, good investment.

Flawed design drips water everywhere
The plastic lid is cheap and thin and came warped. The lid's design cause condensation to drip out of the tray instead of keeping it inside, so you have to add water much more often than other kits. Then you have to clean up all the leaked water everyday to prevent water damage to anything close by.

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.

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.

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.

Complete package
This seedling station is a complete package with trays, dome, and LED growth light that will help grow a complete vegetable garden. The dome is plastic, not so thick and can be flimsy, but does the job thanks to its height. The grow cubes in trays are perfect size for seeds to propagate. The light fits well over the trays and with its 6500k spectrum, encourages rooting and growth no matter the time of the day. With a few of these stations, my plans of growing my own vegetables will be a much easier project.

Missing heat pad.
The heat pad was missing I had to return it. A bit of a hassle because of the size.
