EarlyGrow 93807 Domed Propagator, 2 Height Extenders, Green

I had debated about buying one of these for some time. I tried a few home grown setups using various clear plastic totes and containers with mixed results. After struggling with these setups I finally decided to get a nice unit made for the purpose. I needed one about this size (LxW) and I had not thought about one with sections to change the height, but that works out real well so I am glad I chose this model. The base is very strong so you can moved it around when loaded without it wanting to twist or bend so that is nice - not that you would move it a lot. It was real easy to assemble using the provided plastic nuts and bots and provided tool. I don't know how well they will hold up if you intend to break it down when not in use as it's made to disassemble for storage, but you could easily just replace the plastic hardware with stainless steel. The sections have a nice lip that extends down about a 1/4 in or more so each section is held firmly in place with the one below it. The top section is only an inch or so high so you can remove it easily to mist plants or add water, even if your lights are close to the cabinet. I have it on top of a heat mat too and using the provided vents am able to keep the temp around 80 degrees with no problem. It takes a little tweaking of the vents to get it right and I recommend a hygrometer to monitor the conditions inside. It was a bit pricey, but it's well made and should last a long time and it beats any homemade options I could come up with. If you're serious about starting seeds or clones, this a must have in my mind and this unit is probably one of the best you can get in my opinion.

The quality is exceptional; design/build/fit is perfect; ability to customize is a huge bonus; excellent transparency; no air leaks! This material is some heavy duty stuf … It doesn't bend AT ALL! The lid and extenders are beautifully clear, and the base is sturdy enough to hold FORTY pounds! The design is the best I’ve ever seen. The lid and extenders sit ON the lip - but the genius here is that it is designed more like an “h” than an “L” which allows all of the condensation to drip back INTO the box. All the pieces fit perfectly with no air leaks. And since there are no air leaks, I believe 100% humidity is achievable just because of how well this is designed. I simply love the ability to customize the height as your plants grow because (depending on what/how you’re growing) some simply need that kind of space. I can already tell this is going to be a game-changer for growing out my aquatic plants! I’ll be able to use this to convert my plants to their terrestrial form so I have “mother” plants all around the house for whenever I need some plants in a new aquarium. *** NOTE TO COMPANY: The *only* thing that could possibly be an improvement is to have a couple of GOOD grow-light strips mounted in/on the lid. I’ve seen the manufacturers of the cheapest flimsy propagators integrate lights, so I know you guys can!

This is a high quality product and I'm glad that I purchased it.

I've used propagators on and off for several years, usually the more flimsy trays and equally flimsy short or tall domes. They do the job, but you have to put the bottom tray in something sturdy, especially with pots inside, to even think about moving them. This is definitely a step up from those and, compared to the prices I've seen some of those at - especially with the taller domes - reasonably priced imo. The bottom tray in this propagator is nice, thick plastic; very sturdy, won't twist or warp when picked up, even when filled with pots. It's got a nice lip to hold on to, so it won't slip out of your hands. The side height extender panels are easy to put together (one or both), though a bit tedious. Everything fits together well, and I like the larger size - length, width and height - of this setup compared to others out there. Well made, and should last many years. What kept me from giving 5 stars are minor grievances, but they are small things that could make this a truly great setup for the homeowner who likes to propagate their plants. - For the lid of the dome, some sort of handle - either one on top, or two on the sides - would be helpful for lifting the lid off. As it is, you have to slide your finger under the lip, lift up, then use both hands (more than likely) to take the lid off and set aside. A handle(s) would make this a much easier, simpler, faster process, especially if wanting to mist multiple times a day, etc. - For the side height extenders, I understand the concept behind having each side a separate panel you then put together when in use; with each panel separate, this makes storage much easier and takes up less space. I can see, though, that after a time or two of putting together and taking apart, the soft plastic screws and nuts will wear out and end up being totally useless. Some other mechanism of holding the panels together (clips, etc) OR providing either metal or much harder plastic screws and nuts would eliminate this problem. - This propagator does not keep a level of humidity inside that will completely fog the inside of the unit, it does not seal tight enough for that. For me, that isn't an issue, but depending on what you're growing/propagating, it could be. If the lip of each height extender, and the corners where they connect together, as well as the lip of the lid had a rubber or foam gasket of some kind to create an actual seal, you'd have no trouble getting everything to fog up nicely. All in all, I would recommend this propagator, and would likely buy another should I have need to. It would, however, be nice to see some of the above added in to this design. I know it would increase the cost somewhat, but I think the benefit and improvement would be worth it.

This is a nice solid domed propagator. It has twist vents that allow you to control the humidity. The plastic is really thick and heavy duty. This is a nice set.

I have used this for years and it is durable, effective and easy to clean. Started all kinds of plants in it and they all germinated well and quickly. Definitely worth the extra money to buy the height extenders.

Mein Mann hat das für Pilze zucht gebraucht ,kann mann auch für andere Sache verwendet ,gute Qualität und empfehlenswert

La verdad es que el producto en sí es perfecto. MUY buenos materiales, se ve que son durables y que sirven para el largo plazo (se siente que fueron hechos para durar toda la vida). Lo único malo es el precio, muy caro, pero creo que lo valen (ya compré 2)…

I’m so impressed with the quality and design. Took 10 minutes to put together and I’m sure it will hold the humidity perfectly, plus there’s ample vents for control, and hardening off. Taking a photo as an after-thought. The case on the right is 30 years old (Lee Valley), and I think I paid close to $40. at that time. I’ve thrown away countless inferior models in the years since. This is of the same quality of materials. Thick plastic, but you can tell it won’t get brittle. I’m not sure I’ll ever use both extensions, as with only one it’s exactly the same height as the other (I like to have my lights practically sitting on the top of the case so nothing gets leggy). This one fits the light stand tray like a glove, while the other’s too big (they didn’t have these light stands back then). Long story short, I just ordered another one without the extra extension. I’ve waited a long time to finally replace the old one. I’ll pass it on to a beginner.

Very smart in comparison to my other trays! Well built and a useful height once extended, i expect this will last for many years.

buena calidad y práctica
