  • Cheap and Functional* Updated
Style: Hot House
The dome has 3 vents, 1 large top vent and two small side vents. The side vents have very very very cheap covers which do not work so a little tape and this baby is ready to grow! The dome and tray are made up of thin plastic, very light and easily broken if not given any care. The entire set up is very good and functions but with a few hiccups here and there. The condensation builds and drips off the dome outside of it, not into the tray, so I have to constantly wipe the side dry so my heat mat doesn't sit wet. The plastic is very flimsy so you have to be delicate when handling this product. Comes with 0.5oZ of CloneX and the tray holds most of the root riots i use in place, except for the top centimeter which is fine. The cord for the heat mat is about 6-7' long, everything is MADE IN CHINA. Every single part of this set up. 3.5 stars due to the almost useless side vent covers and for being such a cheap product and not striving for quality which I will be looking for once I upgrade from this. Gets the job done, but there are better quality products available. ***UPDATE: After using this for a quite a while now it has paid itself off ten fold. Although the materials used are thin and cheap feeling they get the job done. Seeds are germinating within 3 days to sprouts sometimes sooner, all clippings are at a 100% success rate. The heat mat is a winner and such a steal when alone it can be up to 25$! Very good product for the price. Recommended! Five stars for functionality, perfect plant starter!

  • I bought this to improve germination times for my favorite tomatoes, peppers
Style: Hot House
I bought this to improve germination times for my favorite tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, beets and basil. I placed the planted seeds in the Hot House (over the heating mat) in my kitchen window greenhouse. I also used the Jump Start Digital Controller, set for 80F. Within 3 days, seedlings were starting to emerge. Within 7 days, all of the tomatoes had emerged. Peppers and eggplants took a bit longer. Once the tomatoes were up, I reduced the temperature to 70F. The seedlings continue to mature, and I will need to transplant soon. The hothouse does a great job of keeping the soil moist, so it is not necessary to water too often. The hothouse is somewhat fragile, but is sturdy enough. The mat heats well, and does not generate 'off-odors' when heating. At night, the window greenhouse does cool. I live in Idaho, where the nighttime temperature this season has dropped into the 20s. So, the mat was not able to maintain the set temperature, but it remained within 10 degrees of the set temperature. I did try moving the hot house-mat-thermostat combo to a warmer location for one night, and the set temperature was maintained. I choose to leave the hothouse in the window greenhouse for convenience. Considering the observed germination times, the seeds were not adversely affected by the temperature fluctuation. This product works, and is an efficient method for seed germination! I'm very happy with the purchase. ... show more

  • Good item for the price.
Style: Hot House
I bought this item to start seeds and try my hand at cloning for the first time. In both regards it has performed to my satisfaction. A few points: - The dome is thin plastic. I mean like solo cup thin. It wouldn't take much to completely destroy it. My small accurite thermo sitting on top makes a nice dent in it. - It leaks. The condensate on the dome rolls down the sides and out of the edges. This could have been easily fixed by making the dome fit inside the base instead of the outside. Try not to put anything you don't want wet underneath this. - The heat mat, despite being several layers of plastic below the grow chamber, keeps a nice amount of warmth and humidity in the dome. On last measurement I was at 89% RH and 81 degrees with half the top vent open. The ambient temperature of my basement is around 65f. - It's big! From the picture it just doesn't look all that impressive, but when you get the box you realize this guy is pretty large. Make sure and check the dimensions! - The holes for the inserts fit rapid rooters perfectly! Following some simple direction was all that was needed to achieve successful results using this item. I filled the base of the item with Ph adjusted water just to where the bottoms of the cups were submerged. Soaked my rapid rooters in Ph adjusted water as well and dropped my seeds/clones in. Plugged in the heat mat and set it under my 2ft T-5 fixture. Within a week I spotted a few seeds germinating, and my clones looked just as good as the day I clipped them. A week after that my clones had put on a decent amount of roots. Mostly I have been screwing around with cloning just to see if I could do it, and I am 20 for 20 thus far. I think the real trick is to just leave the damn thing alone. The more people fiddle around with the top off the more time it takes building up the humid environment again. That's my trick anyways and it seems to be paying off. I will only take the top off when it is time to transplant. I read several negative reviews about this item before I purchased it, and for the most part they are correct. Despite being happy with this product I deducted a star because of the slight water leakage. I mean there is a electrical device sitting under this thing that leaks water. I'm no electrical engineer, but common sense tells me that one should take precautions when using this thing. Once again though it is the price that makes me recommend this. You aren't going to find anything even close to this price that has the utility of this item. ... show more

  • Excellent product, reasonable price
Style: Hot House
Excellent product, reasonable price. The heat mat works great, and my tobacco seeds sprouted well. The vents on the side and top are a nice feature, although I wish they were a little sturdier in the way they are attached to the cover. But they did fine. Contrary to other reviewers, I found the plastic cover itself to be sturdy enough for the job. True, if you put much weight on it, it's going to crack or crinkle. But if you use it as designed, that won't happen. Since this unit was used outside in natural sunlight, I put an old ashtray on top to weigh it down enough to keep the wind from blowing the top off... and that worked great, but I wouldn't put any more weight on it than that. That being said, no plastic dome of this kind was intended to hold much weight to begin with, regardless of the manufacturer. They are designed to keep the moisture in and still allow light to get through, and that's it. This one did an excellent job at that. I wish the price were lower, as it was only a few years ago that a local retailer sold something very similar to this for $20, but other than that, this is a great product. ... show more

  • PRODUCT AS DESCRIBED - PLANTS LOVING IT!
Style: Hot House
Some have said that they thought this was a bit pricey for what you get. I agree - the little hot house is lightweight plastic, and they could have thrown in the peat pellets. I can buy a 72 peat pellet hot house by a competitor, with the pellets included, mind you, at a big-box retailer, for about $7. HOWEVER, that one only has a 2-inch transparent plastic top on it - and this one has 7 inches of growing room. In addition, this has some simple but effective adjustable vents in the hood - both ends and in the top - which are useful to control the humidity level. Since I had to go buy the pellets anyway, I got the 2-inch hothouse they came in. I started my seeds in it, and now that they're up, I've moved thed them to the Hydrofarm product, which offers increased growing space. What you're really paying for is the Heat Mat. It's a great idea to have a consistent heat under germinating seedlings! Before it arrived, I tried a few basil seeds in a kitchen window, and one night it got cold. Bang. Poor little guys are casualties. Now, in the Hot House with the Heat Mat, all my babies are fine, thank you! By the way - you will need a Hydrofarm MTPRTC Digital Thermostat For Heat Mats to control the heat - sold separately. I've got them both, and they work well together. You plug the Heat Mat's electrical cord into the Thermostat, which plugs into the wall. Oh yes - the Thermostat comes with a probe you place inside the Hot House, where it can read the actual temperature your seedlings are at. Recommended! ... show more

  • Good, but not great
Style: Hot House
To start with I do a lot of gardening. I have over 15 species of fruit tree in my yard, a 1000 sq ft garden, and also have a wide diversity of flowering plants in my yard to promote species diversity, attract beneficial insects, and, of course, for ascetic appeal. I use this humidity dome for both cuttings and seed starting. To cut to the chase the product does indeed work as intended with some caveats. Lets start with the heat mat. The heat mat itself works as intended. It keeps an even and warm temperature, but the diagram says to place it under the hot house, so the perfectly heated mat sits below not one, but two pieces of plastic with air in between them. Plastic is not a good conductor of heat, so the mat becomes far less effective if used as indicated. For myself I have a fluorescent tube light hanging a food above the humidity dome, so the heat inside stays a nice 85 degrees Farenheit. The dome itself has 3 vents. 1 at the top, and one on each side. Even with a number of adjustments airflow is stagnant. I open the dome and let a fan sit on it for a few seconds in the morning and evening to prevent stagnant air accumulation. Also it comes with a very, very small sample of Clonex, which is inconveniently placed in a package that makes dipping cuttings quite difficult. I get the product placement thing, but they didn't plan that one out too well. I'd rather pay less and skip the Clonex. I do however own and use Clonex religiously as I have found it to be the most effective rotting gel around. I just don't want a messy and small sample pack of it. I decided on 3 stars because all my cuttings and seedlings have done quite well, however, they also needed regular attention. An ideal humidity dome would require far less attention. on top of that the instructions tell you to place the heat mat in a spot that reduces its effectiveness. ... show more

  • Great for growing extremely hot peppers.
Style: Hot House
This is excellent for growing extremely hot peppers like the TSBT and NV peppers. Works extremely well as I have been using it for a week and all seeds are sprouting. However, there is one major design flaw which can be corrected by some creative engineering as I will explain below. Problem: A lot of the water leaks out of the sides when it condenses on the side of the dome and drips down out of the part where the dome connects to the base. Fix: Take off the clear dome, dry the bottom 3 inches. Take clear plastic packing tape, 2" wide. Cut it at 12"-18" lengths based on what you need for each side. You can even do shorter if you like. Fold the tape lengthwise on to itself so that only 1/4 of the sticky part of the tape remains exposed. Tape this to the bottom of the dome so that the water will now drip down the tape over where it connects to the bottom black part. This will prevent the water from dripping and seeping out the sides where it connects and keeping the water inside. No harm will come to the plants. This should allow the water to remain inside the unit. ... show more

  • Wow
Style: Hot House
I purchased two of these in combination with the Hydrofarm MTPRTC Digital Thermostat For Heat Mats and the Hydrofarm JSV4 4-Foot Jump Start T5 Grow Light System. We'd tried starting seedlings earlier but insufficient light and lower temperatures resulted in weeks of waiting for some very sad sprouts that died soon after. We used the growing pellets, expand in water, and planted two full Hydrofarms with vegetables and flowers, filled the bottom of the tray with a little water, enough to wick but not enough to have them sitting in water, set the thermostat to 75 degrees F, and set the light to cycle for 14 continuous hours with a cheap timer we use for Xmas lights. In just over 30 hours, every single plant sprouted, and sprouted well. I followed some advice and put multiple seeds in each cup (not all seeds will sprout and not all sprouts will survive). Every seed sprouted in under two days. By four days, everything has it's first new leaves and the dang garden beans grew to 5 inches! Incredible, I wouldn't try to say what part of this is the best, but all be darned if I've got more plants than I have space now. The combination of these items works amazingly well. ... show more
