AC Infinity Heavy-Duty Humidity Dome 5x8 Germination Kit, Full Spectrum LED Grow Light Bars w/Samsung LM301H EVO LEDs, Heat Mat, 3 mm Thickest Dome, Trays, Vented Panels, for Seed Starting

I spent some time reviewing different options for seed/clone propagation from simple trays to auto cloners. Decided on this kit as it had everything needed for a good solid start and had a dome extender for taller clones. The kits comes on one box and was well packaged to prevent any damage. Everything appears to be well made and thought out. Even the packaging was a step above most less expensive options. Items were protected with heavy plastic zip bags, foam inserts and cardboard. The humidity dome is solid plastic and should not break with casual handling. The dome extender is easily put together with included screws/wingnuts. The extender allows for seedlings up to about 10" in height to fit under the dome. Several other reveiws noted that they didn't receive the extender. There are several products offered in the product description and the Large Dome kit does not include the extenders. Be sure the check the specific product you are ordering to insure it includes the extender if you want that. All other items included in the Full Dome kit were exactly as described. The seedling tray is even a good plastic thickness to last over many uses. The seedling openings are 1.5"x1.5" at the top and slightly taper down towards the bottom. Rockwool cubes of 1.5" square size will fit all the way down in these. There are two dome lights which fit into notches at the top of the dome not tight enough if turned upside down but not sloppy either. As some reviewers have noted, the dome lights extend almost to the edge but are one LED short on each side. I didn't see this as a defect but rather the way to kit was designed in case you choose to use different lights than what was included in this kit. The light controller has several scheduling options so you don't have to use a timer. The heat pad is a bit longer than the dome itself. It's controller is more simple in that it just adjusts from low to high but no exact temperature reading. All in all, this kit is well made, includes all that you need to start or for small operations. You can certainly get by with DIY options or buying everything piece by piece. But if you'd rather have everything in one set and ready to get started for a reasonable price, this is a very nice kit.

It seems durable and it was easy to assemble. I have a bunch of AC Infinity gear and the quality is generally pretty good. But that's all been talked about already. What I want to talk about specifically is PAR light levels. You need to understand them if you want your seeds to sprout and start off strong. After I assembled the dome (without extension) I put my PAR meter at roughly center of the grow tray. Keep in mind this is not a professional meter and this was in no way scientific. I understand the PAR will vary around the tray a bit, but I'm not going to map it because I'll never have it full anyway. So the readings were from the CENTER only. What I found is that you are probably going to want to use the extension even if your seedlings won't get that big before transplant. Without the extension on, PAR varies from 23 on LVL 1 up to 111 on LVL 10. That's too low for cannabis. When the extension is installed the PAR goes up a little more than 3x. LVL 1 is 73 and LVL 10 is 360. That is a perfectly acceptable range. Also, with the extension on you then have two side and two top vents. This will work better for air flow purposes. The point here is the instructions make no mention of this topic. It basically just says use the extension or not depending on plant height. After measuring the light output levels I would recommend that it should probably be used from the beginning. Keep on growing friends. Also you're going to want a thermo/humidity digital gauge to stick inside there. They are cheap and work well, I have them all over my house.

Works really well well-made

Functions well, easy to setup, gives plants best chance at germination. As described Started 3 year old seeds with 80% germination rate with this.

Packaged very well, easy to assemble and use. Just got it a few days ago and my lettuce and beets are already sprouting, the warming mat does the trick. The led grow lights seem to work just fine. I might buy another one. Overall the unit is well built. Dome and trays are solid, not flimsy at all. Controls are a great plus. It's worth the price.

Used it for almost a year now and it was amazing throu winter but the center drys out to fast compare to the other areas.

Lasted almost a year before the heat mat went out. It's a great product.

Excellent quality and plan on purchasing another one in the near future. Plants are double the size, stronger and healthier when started here and transferred to the garden. I just wish that it was twice the size and twice the spots for plants.

The quality of the dome itself is good, but I’m giving this one star because of the heating mat. Even at the lowest temperature setting, it got so hot that it melted the plastic of the dome. That’s unacceptable and potentially dangerous. Definitely not what I expected

Samen sind hervorragend Gekeimt, Licht Einstellung ist Spitze, vier Öffnung für Frischluft ist völlig ausreichend habe Sie kaum genutzt, Mit der Heizmatte habe ich Ideale Temperatur Bedingungen einstellen können. Sämlinge haben sich super entwickelt

I heard some complaints about the large size, so bought the medium kit. I have purchased several types of humidity domes, some quite expensive and I wasn't happy with them. The AC infinity medium kit is the perfect humidity dome. I now have 4 of these. Build quality is excellent, lights are very bright, attach to the dome, and are very efficient (LM301H EVO!). Accessory package is impressive as well. They are more expensive then other domes, but are worth every penny.

Livré avec prises anglaises, pour le même prix que la filiale française du fabricant, qui livre avec des prises françaises - mais était en rupture de stock... Cher mais bien conçu. Le tapis chauffant est tout de même dépourvu de thermostat, et dès que les plantes s'approchent du plafond de la serre, il est indiqué de retirer les couvercle et de fixer les lampes plus haut, ce qui n'est pas forcément faisable chez tout le monde... On a pas mal de fils et deux boitiers de réglages à gérer. Ce n'est finalement pas plus pratique que de combiner une serre, un tapis et des lampes achetés séparément, à part qu'on a qu'un seul achat à effectuer.

Klasse verarbeitet, heizmatte läuft allerdings nur auf 110V
