I am considering this as a gift for someone, and I was wondering of anyone here has used the product. Can anyone give me a recommendation?

My best friend got one from her mother last year. They finally set it up and planted the tomatoes. I think it produced like 15 cherry tomatoes and not at a rate that would even be worth using. (Maybe three were ripe at a time.) It looked nothing like the pics. I am sure the herbs and flowers would work out better.

Apparently they are popular for growing pot. High Times has written articles on how to do it.

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

My mom got one for her birthday a few years ago. Jane is right, the tomatoes don't work so well. But the herbs do indeed grow rapidly and thickly. She loves it--your friend just might too.

I thought this thread was about the merging of a 70's metal band and a 90's grunge band.

There's not really enough space between the light and the plants, and the plants need to be constantly pruned or they grow into and around the light fixture.
