Factory seconds-Aurora+ seed germinator brought to you by Root Nerds

Factory seconds= "Scratch and dent"- This round of factory seconds is barely noticeable, but we still hold the highest standards!

Root Nerds is a small, two person operation. Our manufacturer is just one person utilizing a local factory in South Africa. The finishing process of assembling the Aurora+ is still being refined. With our latest shipment, we came across a few units with small cosmetic imperfections that do not effect the performance or lifespan of the Aurora+. We're trying to maintain the highest standards and don't feel right charging full price. Instead of sending them back to the manufacturer, we're offering them at a HUGE discount. 

Some examples as pictured: Attaching the magnets caused some issues because even a single extra drop of our medical grade superglue can cause some magnets to sit slightly higher after curing, leading to a lid rock. There could also be a scratches and smudges in the powder coating or even a small imperfections/pitting in the body of the unit. Most factory seconds units will have multiple instances of these examples.

We assure you that none of these purely cosmetic imperfections will impact the performance or longevity of the Aurora+. We offer the same 1 year limited manufacturers warranty.

Check the instructions on the back of the box and our "Instructions and Cleaning" area in the menu above before use. We recommend the higher, flashing light 82-86 setting for most seeds unless they are a type known to prefer cooler temperatures like strawberries. Use of the stick on feet for the bottom of your Aurora+ is essential to prevent heat loss. The unit will not feel warm to the touch unless your hands are cold. Average body temperature is 98.6, making it difficult to feel 76-80 or 82-86 as "warm".

Do not open the sealed panel on the bottom. Never over fill with solution. Use caution with more than 2.0 ml per pod with cotton, 1.0 ml without cotton. Warranty void with water damage.

***Root Nerds is not liable for any failed seed germination*** There are many factors that can influence the outcome. Proper preparation, seed storage and sanitation habits are some of the keys to success. It is your responsibility to select the proper temperature, add the correct amount of fluid to keep your seeds hydrated and select the proper method based on the type of seed you are germinating. Excessive removal of the lid can lead to temperature decrease and/or accelerated evaporation of your germination solution.
