Greenhouse-Propagation Mist Kit, Model: FGMK-50P , Home & Outdoor Store

I have a small home greenhouse and I needed a misting system so that I do not have to check plants on such a frequent basis. On sunny days, I found I would need to check the seedlings at least every couple of hours. This meant I couldn't be gone for a whole day. In conjunction with a timer that I can set for anything from once an hour to once a day with varying lengths of time, I can leave without risking the loss of new seedlings. I also found that it will provide sufficient water for plants that are bigger, at least for a few hours. It sets up easily and can be adjusted for whatever size you need. I liked it enough to recommend it to my sister, who also purchased one for her home greenhouse. If you are going to use it for propagation or watering, you must get a good timer.

This made it just over 30 days before busting which is just beyond replace/refund window. Out of commission until I purchase a better quality replacement part. Disappointed.

I thought I was pretty good at watering in my greenhouse, but still plants were not looking as great as they should. I ordered this system to help me out. Now it's like a rain forest in there. I have both regular growing area and an aquaponics system set up. I have a mist head over the aquaponics, and all the other heads on the other half of the greenhouse. Works just fine. Took me about 45 minutes to put it up -- would have been faster if I had done it BEFORE I put plants in and had to weave in and out among them to put in the line. A fine, fine mist of water that the plants are lapping up. 10 minutes twice a day and it's handled. Excellent item.

We bought this to help keep the greenhouse from becoming too hot. We attached it to a timer and it sends out a nice spray that immediately lowers the temperature at least 10 degrees. It also lightly waters any plants that are below. It was fairly easy to put together. However, there are no instructions, and there are several parts and pieces that we didn't use (or even know how they could be used.

I have 2 of these systems. One for the purpose of cooling me off and watering my patio plants in the desert heat & the other for the extra nozzles just to add coverage. I just love it, but like all misting systems, the nozzles do get clogged with minerals. Out of frustration, I discovered that inexpensive regular brass replacement nozzles do fit in this system while maintaining the ability to swivel! Just unscrew the big black plastic one & screw in a brass one! Meanwhile, you can soak the clogged ones in something like CLR to clear them up. Just wanted to share that helpful little hint with those of you with nozzle issues. Stay cool!

This little kit has been exactly perfect for me! I set it up in my mini-greenhouse and set it up on a timer and it works without fail! All parts work and was super easy to set up!!! I have nothing negative to say about this product!!

I would have given this product 1 star, except that it is a great idea and relatively easy to install. That is the best I can say. The cons: 1. The attachment to the water source leaks even after I put first one washer (it didn't come with one) and then 2 washers in it and resorting to tightening it with pliers. 2. The misting heads don't mist, they spray a light water in one direction (if you're lucky). 3. One of the *misters* doesn't spray at all and the end mister just drips, drips, drips. Upon loosening the connection it just leaked. Then tightening it cracked the housing, now it's totally useless. 4. One of the mounting clamps was missing its little nail. Not the kind of nail one has laying around the house, so I had to resort to using the ties (which look ugly...sigh) to complete the installation today.I might return it, but that means taking it all down again. I have hopes that I can find spare parts and make it work. Perhaps if the company sees this review, it will voluntarily send me several of the misting heads to compensate for their lack of quality control. If they do, I'll update this.UPDATE: Less than two hours after contacting Lori at Drips, Inc, she responded with some questions. But first she reassured me she would send whatever was not working. I followed her suggestions to be sure each mister was clean (I had one or two that had a speck of dirt), but still they either dripped or spit. Tomorrow I will check to see if the problem with the misting is a water pressure issue. If that's the problem, then the misting (except for cracking the housing on one of the misters and the leak at the water source connection), system is great and I'll give it 4 Stars. I'll let you know. In the meantime, I'm upgrading the rating to 3 stars.UPDATE: 5 STARS. Lori at Drips, Inc. was SO responsive. In the end, except for the cracked end piece which at this very moment I am being sent a replacement, the problems were mine...sigh. I didn't have enough water pressure to make a mist (must have at least 45 PSI). Now that I've corrected that, it mists great! And my water source outlet wasn't deep enough to accommodate the filter attachment. But that isn't a product problem. So...I must have been having a bad day.Would I use this seller again? ABSOLUTELY. Lori didn't snivel or make excuses (like "you shouldn't have tightened it so much." She was so very professional and helpful. We exchanged only a few emails and I already like her ;-)UPDATE, One year later. I've downgraded my review to 3 stars again. The reason is that the spray nozzles continue to crack and clog and spit. After the winter only 2 worked properly, the others sprayed a stream of water or dripped. When I tried to replace them, the replacements were nearly $5 each and Lori didn't have a good explanation why I would have to buy the entire T joint when all I needed was the nozzle. I ended up buying some cheap 1/4" T's and nozzles for about 50 cents each and was able to replace all of the sophisticated nozzles (that didn't work for long) with these simply designed nozzles that work very well. They don't have quite the fine mist, but it's fine enough not to disturb the newly planted seeds.

I didn't even get to the point of installing this which is good because I would have been much more upset having wasted that time. The misting jets almost immediately sprung leaks in all directions. This wasn't just through seals. The cheap plastic just cracked and I didn't even get close to 45 psi when testing them out. Already printing to the label to send it back.
