It’s okay, but needs a lot of improvements

It’s a neat setup that can handle a lot for you. The main drawbacks are the buggy app constantly freezing, pipe blockages and leaks, algae buildup near water level checker being difficult to remove, water level stickers which come off easy, and restarting a new batch requires a QR code which is located separate from the installation guide. It’s not worth the price imo.

Hi Anthony,

If the app is freezing, update to the latest version or clear the app cache in the phone settings, which should solve any loading speed issue.

The pipe should not block if the drain filter is in place. Most blocks are only LECA that fall into the grow container and get caught up by the filter, which may slow the flow. Ensure the drain filter is installed, and the LECA that falls into the container is removed. When plant roots are not developed in the early stage, the LECA will eventually flow to the drain and slow the flow at the filter.

The Water Level viewer can be removed by pulling it out from the bottom, then you can clean the viewing window with a toothbrush or a straw brush.

The QR code is the device badge; you should have stuck that onto the system, and it is only needed when activating. You can use the scan feature in the app to locate the correct device if you own multiple grow kits. To restart a batch, click System and find the idling grow kit to start the new batch. You do not need to add a new system.

We are creating more video tutorials and improving the UI layout so these features are not hidden too deeply or missed.

I will send you an email with the view window removal instructions to clean up the algae that got into the checker.

In regards of pipe leak, I will need to know where it is leaking and instruct you the proper way to debug. Typically, it is due to uneven installation, or too powerful pump setting.


Happy Growing!
Jason

LOVE LOVE LOVE my Elfsys grow kit!

LOVE LOVE LOVE my Elfsys grow kit!! It's an amazing option for those who want to grow indoors, especially if you live in an apartment like I do. The plants grow SO FAST!! Not sure if plants usually grow this fast (I'm a newbie when it comes to growing), but I tell everyone that if you were to sit in front of your Elfsys, you could see them grow haha
The best part of my Elfsys grow kit though? The fact that I no longer have to run out to the store in middle of cooking dinner to buy any herbs or veggies that I forgot to pick up. It's such a gamechanger!

Great hydroponic system!!

This is a great hydroponic system and I am very happy with it! I was new to hydroponics and the Elfsys is very easy to build, use and maintain. After about 5 weeks I already had greens to enjoy. I like that this system allows you to use whatever seeds you want and you don't need expensive subscriptions to continue to grow. It is also very simple and clean looking and so beautiful when the greens grow. I would definitely recommend this system if you are looking to start an indoor garden!

Obsessed!! Easy to use & grows amazing fresh greens in your APT

I couldn't be more pleased with my Elfsys grow kit. I live in a small NYC apartment and was worried about the space but it fits perfectly!! Its so compact and even ads a bit of brightness to it. I love how many different things you can grow and how fast you start seeing plants sprout up. I've been growing a lot of leafy greens & herbs, which have been perfect for salads and cooking at home. The quality and freshness make such a difference. They are SO much greener than anything I buy at the grocery store. It is so easy to set up and the lighting and watering are automatic so you legit can not fail at it. Perfect for me since i always travel a lot too. Honestly, everyone should buy one of these. Highly recommended!!

Love growing my own veggies & fruits in…

Love growing my own veggies & fruits in my living room. Quick to set up and majority of the watering and lighting is automated as long as set up is correct. I have the 4 level system and it holds A LOT of different seeds at once… lettuce, basil, mint, strawberries and tomatoes. Started eating within 3 weeks of setting up. Nice way to save some $ on groceries and always cool topic of conversation when guests come over. Feels like every home will have this one day.

Elfsys Grow Kit

I decided to order this Elfsys grow kit after comparing it to other models. When the grow kit arrived, I initially felt intimidated with the whole thing considering that I was not technically savvy.
I reached out to support at Elfsys.com, their response was excellent. I read the manual thoroughly and now I’m ready to start my hydroponics indoor garden. So glad I purchased this Elfsys grow kit.
I’m very much impressed with the Elfsys grow kit setup as compared to other models I’ve looked at and realized that I made a good decision purchasing it.The support at Elfsys.com was great, they’re commendable. This is a very good company to deal with .
