I recieved my ecosphere in a wonderfully packaged and oh so expensive american nesting boxes. The exquisite beautifully designed box labels that scream quality were marvelously placed with the finest touch. Once the boxes were unnested the ecosphere went together oh so easy. My only critique is that I ran out of zip ties for the shelving. The shelving wanted to curl up but a bunch of zip ties is a cheap thing you can get locally. I will sugguest getting an ink bird temprature and humidity controller. The timers are nice and will work great once i get a second cord for the other provided light and a dehumidifier to keep the temprature and humidity fairly constant. Aside from this its a great setup that fit right next to my tv...now i can enjoy my egyptian cotton subway linens while watching the new england patriots and enjoy my wagyu meatball sub from subway. (I apologize I havent had my coffee yet.)
I bought this item when it was $200, its a pretty good deal and the custom heating system is real great as it could be dialed in easily! i think if this product was not on sale (~$300 when not on sale i believe) then i dont think it would be a good deal, but for the price i personally paid i think its a great deal to have everything you need in one order, if your starting out its great, but once you know where to source and make some of the supplies you need, its no longer necessary to buy pre-made kits, AND it comes with a instruction book. To Wrap up my review i think it was a good purchase and these kits are great for people just starting out, i have everything to be growing lots of king oyster mushrooms after never have grown a single mushroom before!
This is for the ecosphere and everything included in the kit. Pros: -Nice overall setup. -Lava rock heater is nice and produces humidity, mostly in higher temps. -Utilize vertical space. -Multiple projects on 5 shelves. The bottom holds heater an humidifier. Cons: -Fan on lava rock heater broke after 4 weeks. Seriously! The humidifier Jar needs to be filled all the time. Get a bigger jar! Some of the other accessories aren't needed. All in all good system tho
My main worry was that the fan and air pump would be loud. This is the most quiet kit I’ve ever come across. Everything arrived on time and was easy to assemble. The perfect kit for first time growers living in a small apartment!
Ive had a spare room full of bins and shotgun chambers for years in my growing endeavors. I came across a review on another site for this Eco-tent system. I just transferred a bunch of casing trays and jars in this unit and it really works amazing. So much more room and much easier to watch everything without constantly opening a bunch of bins everyday. The heating unit is awesome. Its such a brilliant idea, simple but effective! Well thought out system guys! My only negative would be it took about 5-6 days before it shipped, but other than that good work!!
