Hey Abby OG Pro
I’ve seen a lot of conflicting reviews about units turning up damaged etc, I myself haven’t had this issue it came perfect and Kayla at Hey Abby was extremely helpful and got an issue with payment sorted within a timely manner.
Courier was polite and helpful I’ve set the unit up I’m now waiting for my accessories and seeds to arrive before I start my grow journey I’ll be purchasing other units in the future! I’m looking forward to the experience I’ve grown in soil and coir but DWC has always interested me eager to get started! Thanks for a great first experience!

Thank you for sharing your experience and for bringing up the topic of conflicting reviews about shipping damage. We truly appreciate the opportunity to clarify! With our secured packaging, shipping locally from both East Coast and West Coast warehouses, and worry-free shipping insurance, the shipping damage rate for grow boxes is extremely low. On the rare occasion it happens, the shipping claim process is designed to be super easy and hassle-free.
The most common issues arise when shipping insurance is opted out or when essential evidence, like a picture of the original packaging, isn’t provided to file the claim. We’re thrilled to hear your unit arrived in perfect condition, and Kayla could assist you promptly!
We’re excited for you to begin your grow journey with DWC—such an exciting step! Thank you for trusting Hey abby and sharing the postive experience, and we can’t wait to support you on your growing adventures.

The products all seem fine. I found the Discord server to be most helpful of all. I would like to suggest an upgrade, whether as an accessory on integral, a cooler for the reservoir. I know many customers would appreciate it.

After reviewing your case, we’re sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve faced with seed germination. The last communication we had was on September 27, when you contacted our grower team expressing frustration that your seed had not sprouted after four weeks. At that time, you mentioned starting a new seed and asked if you were being impatient or if the seed should have already sprouted.
Our grower, J, confirmed that by week four, you should have a fully sprouted and growing seedling. He also inquired whether you were using the new, improved seed starters that we offer for free on our website, highlighting that they are much easier to use and available at no cost.
It’s important to note that seed germination is largely independent of the grow box itself, as the box does not play a direct role in this process. Various factors, such as seed quality and environmental conditions, can impact germination. Our grower provided tips to help improve germination success and emphasized the importance of closely following these guidelines and making necessary adjustments. If issues persist despite following this guidance, we recommend trying seeds from a different supplier or starting with a clone as an alternative.
The grower team also attempted to follow up with you on your progress but did not receive a response after the initial communication.
We truly believe that consistent communication with our grower team is essential to overcoming challenges and achieving a successful harvest. That’s why every grow box purchase includes a free 3-month 1-on-1 grower support subscription. We encourage you to take full advantage of this support by sending pictures of your plant and its roots through the app, which will help our grower team provide more tailored and actionable advice.
We are dedicated to your success and would love to work with you to resolve any issues you’re experiencing. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help!

Hey Abby 420 Soil Edition
I received my Hey Abby 420 Soil Edition about 2 weeks ago. I received the package in fairly good condition. There were a quite a few scratches and, in the back, one of the screws were snapped in half and missing the screw head. To my perception, it doesn't alter the way the machine works. The customer care was great. They cleared up a few questions that I had. I'm brand new to growing. I've only smoked for 2 years. And quite frankly, I know very little. The app has made it easy to understand each step into growing. I'm learning a lot. I'm hopeful that my first grow will turn out well enough for a first time planter. I'm only 2 weeks in, so I can't give an absolute review on the product. But, the customer service is great. The directions are very helpful. And the machine is very easy to use.

Waste of money
I have germinated at least a half dozen seeds in the abby and that’s as far as it ever got following step by step directions. Meanwhile wI have had successful grows of 4 different strains indoors and outdoors while struggling with this Abby. Now my trial period is up and nothing to show for it. I’ll be using it as a very expensive natural grow chamber. STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that your growing experience hasn’t met your expectations. After reviewing your case, we noticed there was limited communication with our grower team. The last interaction we found was in September, when our grower assisted you with the replant feature in the app to restart your grow. They also shared a helpful tip for encouraging root development, and made attempts to follow up with you on the progress. Unfortunately, they didn’t hear back from you after that.
We truly believe that ongoing communication with our grower team is key to overcoming challenges and achieving a successful harvest. This is why we offer a free 3-month 1-on-1 grower support subscription with each grow box purchase. We highly encourage you to take advantage of this support and send pictures of your plant and its roots via the app. This will allow our grower team to provide more specific and actionable advice.

Nightmare turned into a dream come true!
First off I've been researching growing indoors for 2 years now when hey Abby caught my eye. I've done my homework from then up until November first of 24. Finally I pulled the trigger and based off the early black Friday deal I decided to go with the 420 model yet show a young company company long term commitment and did a year subscription knowing there are more powerful fertilizers out there.
Fast forward to November 11th I still hadn't heard anything about my purchase so I decided to chat in when I met Kayla from the customer care team, who told me the item was backordered until possibly April of 25! I was devastated! Simply because nowhere does it state in the purchasing of the products on the website to warn you of back orders. Luckily Kayla and I worked through a resolution that turned my 0 to this question into compelling me into doing something I never do make sure I tell as many people as possible the positive that can come when working with a down to earth reasonable company. Kudos Kayla and hey Abby you have my business for life. I'll be buying the og model in January!

Damaged unit due to delivery
So I pre ordered an OG Pro end of August and during that time there wasn't the option for a carefree delivery to Germany. That function only popped up a few weeks after when I order some more accessories.
So now the trouble:
My Abby package arrived damaged but almost not quite visible. Other than that the delivery guy put the package down and directly went away. I unpacked the abby (I also came upside down) and the where two dents in it. One is very large I in one of the edges and bent the whole right side of the unit. The smaller one is sharper and removed the paint inside the unit so that the blank metal is visible and in a humid environment proned to corrode.
I told the company my issues and the response is that I should order a "Edding spray paint" for repaint and they would cover the costs because I didn't purchased the carefree delivery.
I don't understand those actions. I now have to invest time and work to get the unit into a shape it would had if I wasn't damaged.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the shipping damage. We understand your frustration, and we want to address the situation and offer a solution.
Upon reviewing your order, we found that shipping insurance was not included, which unfortunately means we are unable to reimburse for the shipping damage. However, our priority is to help resolve the cosmetic issue efficiently so that your grow box can continue to function effectively and last for years.
After reviewing the pictures you provided, our QC and engineering teams have confirmed that the damage does not affect the growing efficiency or harvest results. However, we do understand your concern about the exposed metal, which could oxidize over time due to the humid environment. To prevent this, we’ve researched a simple, quick fix and recommend an easy-to-apply spray paint available on Amazon. Cosmetic issues like this are common due to shipping or normal wear and tear, but quick fixes like this can maintain the longevity of your grow box. We’ve worked with many customers on similar cases, and the results have been positive.
Additionally, your grow box comes with a 1-year warranty, so if you experience any functionality issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Every grow box also includes a free 3-month 1-on-1 growing support subscription. For growing-related inquiries, our grower team is available via the app to assist you throughout the growing cycle. We recommend sending a picture of your plant and its roots to help the team provide tailored suggestions.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and are committed to making your growing experience with Hey abby a success. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or need assistance. Happy growing!

We have sent a request to the reviewer for basic information to help us identify their purchase and better understand their experience. The reviewer will have 3 days to reply and we'll follow up from there.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. To clarify, shipping insurance is automatically added to orders to cover potential damage or loss. If a customer opts out, particularly for grow box orders, we always provide a friendly reminder and confirm before proceeding with shipping without insurance.
Currently, we ship grow boxes from local warehouses within the US, UK, Germany, and Australia, and we do not offer international shipping for grow boxes outside these regions.
We appreciate the opportunity to clarify and are here to help if you have further questions.

Shipping took forever. Didn’t receive everything that was supposed to be included. And the plants growing in it don’t thrive. The air pump barely moves the water. Gimmick that I fell for. Expensive mistake. Going back to DIY.
