Have been using these for years, now have 7 of them. I do not use the tray insert or planters. I directly place either 6 cell trays or 4β pots directly in the unit and bottom water. Handles 24 x 4β pots. The LED version seems to work better than the standard lighting. I use these in conjunction with timers set for 16 hours on.
Bought a 25 pack of bulbs. Recieved only 17 in the pack
I just tried it out today! Itβs completely a game changer! I have all 4 sizes of the hand held ones and I decided to take the plunge when the stand up ones were at a reduced price. I ordered the 20 and the 35. Although there was a packing error and I am still waiting for the 20, I was able to try the 35. The mini 20 takes me 15 revolutions to fill the standard 10 by 20 tray, but this one only takes 3 revolutions. I fill it more quickly and it takes way less effort to make. I planted two trays in the time it takes to just make the soil blocks with the mini. Looking forward to seeing how the 20 will help me with potting up!
