SET IT & FORGET IT ( except for H2O)

My 2 Aurora+ did a lot of work last year, saved a lot of time. Quickened germination times on hot peppers, cukes, tomatoes, squash, herbs, flowers, melons. In my 2 runs so far, with next generation SPROUT, I’ve seen germination times get even faster and more consistent. Basically it’s very simple, put down a pad, throw seeds on , moisten the pad, put another pad on top, moisten that, put in the lid , plug it in . With the new design it is able to handle bigger seeds , currently I have some jackfruit seeds in there. Only thing you need to monitor is moisture level, and progress of seeds. Also has the ability to put another tray on top for another germination area or daisy chain if you have more than one device. Definitely can see the thought behind the next generational improvements, and customer service is top notch, to help you be successful. Just check out on the site the list of all varieties that have benefited from their devices.

10/10 helped germ old seeds

I was expecting all to be duds and half the pack popped.
not only do they offer a great product but their support via Instagram DM is great and they were more than willing to assist with any and all questions i threw their way.

You NEED this in your life

I’ve been growing c* for over 30 years. I’ve always had a problem popping old seeds…tried with the aurora +
Cracked all 4 old seeds in just a few days..Simply the best seed germination product EVER developed.. Anything I do, will be going through this product…Very pleased is an understatement!

SIMPLY PERFECTION

I purchased my aurora+ in beginning of March this year, first run was 12 varieties of hot peppers. Immediately saw results in under 48 hrs with tails emerging, I was amazed how germination time was increased 2x - 3x
what it usually expected. Other than making sure you keep the pads and seeds moist, the device is pretty much hands off, it just does it’s thing and very well. After first couple runs, I was so impressed, I purchased a second one, preparing for upcoming season where I live in Washington D C area.
So far I've germinated in the aurora + peppers ( hot and sweet), squash, cucumber, cantaloupe, watermelon, broccoli, bok choy, beets, turnips, and more. I haven’t found any seeds that this hasn’t done a great job with. For me it’s a quick, clean, and easy way to simplify the process and obviously speed it up, while doing multiple varieties all at one time in the same place.
I’m excited to try more and more types of seeds and see how much faster they will germinate than listed on seed package. Customer service along with tips from ROOT NERDS is just as great as their product. I have some amazing pictures from results of the aurora + , when I might have not checked on it as soon as I should have.

If you struggle germinating your expensive seeds, you need this!

This device is amazing. It’s heavy-duty, durable, and most importantly, it’s effective! So far I’ve had great success germinating c* seeds, lemon seeds and apple seeds! Is it an expensive item? Sure, but so are your seeds, so if you’re not the greatest at getting high germination rates with your seeds, it’s an investment because this will take the guess work out of it and will give you the best odds of popping those expensive seeds you have and will pay for itself over time.

Tip: Make sure your power light is blinking - the first time you plug it in, it will be steady green; this is the lower temperature setting. Unplug and plug in again and the light will blink green. Now you’re at the higher temp setting (82.5 degrees I believe) optimal for most types of seeds.

love this little thing

Awesome setup takes up very little room, but produces a lot! Awesome clone set up so far I've had 3 runs through it. And 100 % success rate. Can't argue with that. I really love how much nutes you save , compared to a water spraying method or bubble cloning method. They use more electric, more nutes cause more water. This set is simple , KISS! (Keep it simple stupid.) If mine was lost or stolen I'd buy another. But I already got two and sold the third one to a friend.. if it works, it's worth it

It's not just for c* seeds!

I'm a happy customer. Very glad I spent the money on the Aurora+. I seen it work for c* seeds, the true question I wanted to know is would it germinate my house plant seeds. I spent the money and put it to my own test. Birds of Paradise original germination time is 2-3 months I got it to germinate in the aurora+ in 21 days. Monstera seeds can take up to 30 days to germinate. In the aurora+ it germinated in 11 days. The list goes on! Glad I spent the money on it very satisfied customer! I speak very highly of this company and device!

Best product I’ve bought in years

This product is the best product I bought in years I live in Maine. The temperatures are very cold at night here right now I put 12 seeds in it and put the unit right by my back door which I would not suggest And had trouble popping these same seeds before put them in the Aurora all of them opened with in 24 hours wow I didn’t think that would happen but it did so today I’m Busy planning so I’d say if you have any doubts like I did I try it out and wow I wish I could have gotten it sooner but now I don’t have to Worry about losing tons of seeds due to cold or just not being able to pop. Thanks again. Root Nerds Your amazing work has paid off for me so much already and I can’t wait to try cloning with it I love this so much i Suggest if you grow anything from seed or clone buy this product, I’m positive you will love it just as much as I do

Worth every penny

Absolutely love this unit, I was blown away by just how fast and easy it was to pop some older seeds. Taproot was showing before the seeds would have even been out of their normal 24hr soak and to top it all off the man behind the machine is a very kind and helpful person.

Can't live without it! No joke! I, want two!

Old seeds 15+ years old, giving me a hard time! Very low success rate, wasting money!! Time invest in Aurora+ took me 5 days get 1" taproot. Doesn't sound like much. But these are old seeds, giving me problems!
Took 5 days! Fresh seeds! I've had taproot pop out of the shell less than 8 hrs. I'm sold! Really is a good investment! Much 💕
