Jutom 60 Pieces Hydroponic Seed Grow Sponges Pod Kit for Indoor and Outdoor Use

Works Great for our Pot seeds. first year to grow them in water..They jumped up 4 inches in 3 day..

Worked perfectly for my needs.

We were searching for a grow pod that we could start our own seeds for our Lettuce Grow Farmstand. The problem is that our needs are very specific. It needs to be a sponge that does not hit the full rim because we use custom 3D printed cup covers that sit on the inside rim. This means the sponge needs to be around 1.5 or 1.6 inches tall at most (when expanded). Also, ideally, we would also like to be able to start or at least interchangeably use the same sponges between our Aerogarden and our Lettuce Grow Farmstand. The problem with typical Aerogarden sponges is that they are too long to fit in the farmstand unless we try to fish the tail end of the sponge through one of the holes in the bottom of the Farmstand cup. It's a less than ideal solution because it makes it harder to move plants to new cups, clean cups when something is growing, and there's always the fear one of the bottom taps might snap off.Grow Your Own Seed Pod - Complete Seed Pod Plugs with Plant Food - Grower's Choice70 Pack Grow Sponges, Starter Plug for Seeds or CuttingsJutom 60 Pieces Hydroponic Seed Grow Sponges200 Pcs Grow Sponges Pods Kit - ZilinyTEZKOLES 50 PackThe Grower's Choice sponge is an "ok" option. It's advertised for the Lettuce Grow (along with Click and Grow), but even dry it's a very tight fit inside the Farmstand cup. The value is also a little high for only 10 pods. It's almost worth it to just by seedlings from Lettuce Grow directly as an alternative. Probably should point out that there is embedded time released fertilizer pellets inside the sponge. You can see them quite clearly. The problem is that in a hydroponic system, you shouldn't want or even need fertlizer in the grow media because you should have everything in the nutrient tank. Given the choice, I would rather have more sponges without embedded fertlizer than fewer with. Not sure of the rational on this one. It seems like this would just be better for starting seeds and then putting the whole thing into a potted container.The 70 Pack of Grow Sponges are ok, but they just dont work for Farmstand cups. It sits too high in the cup and the little tappered bottom is the main culprit.The Jutom and Ziliny use identical sponges and cups. The only difference is quantity, so pick whichever is the best value. Overall, these are good choices if you need to interchange between an Aerogarden system and a Lettuce Grow. When expanded, the pods sit in the top most part of an Aerogarden pod. They still are too small to put in a Farmstand on their own, but you can place them inside the included cups and put that whole thing inside a Farmstand. There's enough space to top off with a bit of hydroton and or use the 3D printed cup covers.If you're only looking to start seeds in the Farmstand don't use any other system, the TEZKOLES sponges fit the bill the best. They sit low enough under the rim to use the 3D printed cup covers. At the same time, they are wide enough and large to maximize the amount of sponge media you can use in the Farmstand cup.

My second hydroponic system was a diy. This worked perfectly in the system. I liked the smaller size which was difficult to find. Didn't have any mold growth or smells. Sponges fit perfectly. Totally worth the mony.

Maybe good for seeds not for clippings

I have a hydroponic system that I suddenly found it hard to find the right plug for my baskets. These baskets actually fit better. the plugs come dry but fill out nicely when put in the system. The small hole in the plug makes it easy to just drop a seed in it and wait for the growth. I will definitely be getting more.

Only 1 planted sprouted out of 11

I bought these as a refill to my planter and I prefer them over the ones that came with the planter. Great value.
