Our garden is regularly in 90-105F weather, and the hot peppers and tomatoes love it.
It says the light raises to 13 inches, which means you're limited to ~11 plant. You can probably grow some basil if you aggressively trim it. Oregeno or thyme may work as well, but puttinc 3 plants in it wouldn't work with how little the basin is if you let them grow for more than 2 months.. If you really want to just try hydroponics I guess it would be an inconsiquential purchase, but if you want to actually grow stuff to use there are plenty of more viable options on Amazon in the 40-60 price range.

- The water reservoir is small. I think half a gallon.
- Several people have problems with the included plant food.
- Several people have problems getting the seeds started some saying that the included sponges are too dense.
- The pods/net pots that are included seem to be an irregular size so getting replacements might be difficult. Though you could either print your own with a 3d printer or use something like a pool noodle.
These should work fine for small herbs and lettuce. I bought three myself since I think it's a great value. I think this would be a great option for something like mint, oregano, lemon balm, thyme, or anything that has roots that can overcrowd other plants.
Look into other plant food though. I use General Hydroponics for my Aerogarden which works great. There are also some other options too.
Does anyone know anything about the $9 rebate?
