If they think their Light Schedule experience is usable, they’ve probably never used it.
They just added a rating system to their Light Schedule, which gives feedback on if you are giving the right light to your Gardyn, and how many hours to add or subtract if you’re not giving the right light - helpful. What’s not helpful is the way that you *edit* the Light Schedule. I imagine it was designed in response to the prompt: How might we make this the most complicated experience possible that appears customizable while also not allowing for any true customization? It’s sincerely enough to make me not recommend the Gardyn system to anyone.
The newest app has issues. The water level indicator is never correct. That part of the app has become useless and you need to watch the water level from looking into the tank. Also, if you don’t have the paid subscription, there are tasks which say they are locked and you can’t see. The due dates on these tasks pass and they still appear in your task list. So you have to scroll through them to get to the actual tasks that you need to complete. Can you make them go away if I can never complete them? This is frustrating.
If I were to change one thing, it would be including the room temp and humidity as a front feature in the home page resources section. Instead of it being hidden in the "advanced" user settings.
User interface is decent, but definitely steers you more towards their shop, where they can upsell you even more than they already are.
Also, accessing timelapse is cumbersome. And the camera senors don't talk to the lights. It'll take pics at random when lights are on full, leaving the photos very dark since it doesn't take overexposure into account.
I recently just purchased the Gardyn and it has been great! It does everything for you and sends little reminders when you need to fill the water or clean the tank. The only downside is that it is a little tricky to set up in the beginning but once you get the hang of it it is a bit easier. We got the Gardyn about 2 months ago and I have already made a few large salads. It does not take up that much space at all. My daughter loves interacting with it and it gets her to eat her veggies! We moved all the way from California to Colorado in a car and all the plants did great in the Y-cubes. I would rate this a 10/5 if I could! Thank you Gardyn!
I was both nervous and excited about purchasing the Gardyn 2.0. Now, I’m wondering why I hadn’t considered it sooner. Having such a wide variety of fresh, healthy herbs and vegetables growing right in your own kitchen is a game changer. The kids and I love watching them grow, and snacking when we pass by. We’re cutting down on food waste, eating healthier, saving ourselves a few trips to the grocery, and learning a little too! I would definitely recommend this, again and again. 5 stars!
We have had the gardyn for about two years. The original plants grew. None after that did. Customer support says my house, in a very temperate Mediterranean climate, is too cold. We made our old breakfast room into a room for the gardyn and tropical plants. I do use the little seedlings when I thin and but them in soil under grow lights and they grow. Then I plan them outside. I have some wonderful alpine strawberries growing and some lettuce. I think the leds lose energy and the plants don’t get enough of the spectrum. Any way, I don’t know what to do with when my contract expires. I want a gardyn to grow like the picture on the app.
Love everything about it except they don’t tell you that everything is miniature sized— which makes for a very small yield. Strawberries are one or two at a time, tomatoes about 6 at a time, peppers one at a time, green beans 6 at a time. Not enough to feed one person let alone a family. Great garden for herbs and lettuce, and that’s only what I’ll probably end up planting from now on so I can count on the yield- but kind of expensive just for that.
If you’re really looking to eat a variety regularly from this garden for a family you would need 10 of these systems. Quality plants, easy to manage with Kelby, great garden to just play with for kids and teaching them how plants grow.
Do you to your updates to the app? My iPhone 11 is no longer compatible with my Gardyn device when I first got my Gardyn device it was compatible because it just required my phone to be an iPhone 11 not 12 but now with the updates it requires iPhone 12, which means more money to spend on a phone which is fine, but I still have to finish paying for the garden, therefore my garden is off-line and I will have to stay that way on till I get a new phone and iPhone to be exact I would’ve given five stars but due to lack of compatibility and pairing ability you get three stars
It’s coming up on two years with the
Original 1.0 model. I am still loving it and it is still a great producer! They have updated the Garden's look and ease of function so I’m giving the company a 5 star rating because it continues to innovate and improve its product. I don’t have the newest model, I would if I had space and need, but the two 1.0s I have are more than enough right now!
I’m happy with the app, the help section is sometimes confusing to navigate. What is really missing for me is a place to track my microgreen. Just a place to at least add start date for it if nothin else. Would also be nice to be able to have a reminder for what you actually put in it since they are not nicely labeled like the ycubes.
