User Reviews about Hydrofarm CK64050 Germination Station with Heat Mat
Item works well. It provides a low level heat perfect for starting seeds or keeping new seedlings warm. I did not purchase the timer and have not felt the need for one. -- works great
I've been using this for a couple of months. The only problem I've had, is that condensation on the dome will leak out when you move the tray. Other than that, it works well and is priced well. -- Works as advertised
I dont think I would pay much more for this than a regular heat mat - the value in this product is the heat mat. The only reason I bought this one was it was less expensive than most other heat mats. The mat works fine, and the germination station is handy, but it is just a cheap plastic container. Having said that, I dont know if you need much more than that to germinate plants, so I wouldnt consider that a con. -- Works as advertised
Although it may seem a little over priced, it is the convenience that you pay for. The product is exactly what it shows, a plastic tub with a plastic top, plastic dirt moldings, and a heating pad. If you think about the price of the heating pad that fits perfectly with the container, it is well worth the while.
In addition, I have had success with this product. I grow indoor coffee, and I have received a much quicker germination rate; as well as being healthier. Furthermore, it gives you great control of not only temperature, but humidity. In my opinion, that is a major plus. -- It is exactly what it shows.
