The timer function works great, it's really bright and puts off the perfect amount of heat. The light is just a tiny bit brighter when plugged in. I have mine set for 6 hours and use the blue and violet lights.

This planter is well worth the money. It usually takes radishes a full month to harvest outside. This is the cutest little aerogarden seed pod sized life support carrier.

This is my first tent and i just love it. Great product and helpful staff. Happy with purchase.

Just get some seeds of your favorite plant and get at it. Got it yesterday, assembled today and just started planting. Overall, this has all you need to get started and know what you need next in your gardening adventure.
