*The only difference is cosmetic*
In a never ending quest for perfection, we've decided to remove the second port for daisy chaining. While it is a fun feature, the potential for sub par performance due to a cheap power supply or excessively long cords is multiplied. For the sake of stability without worry, we've modified existing stock by removing and blocking out the second port as pictured.
We are selling these at a discount and have a limited supply.
Please read our FAQ , instructions and warranty pages before purchase or use.
Introducing the Aurora+ Generation 3, now called Sprout!
Made of a lighter, more pure aluminum that is CNC machined to perfection and hard anodized for protection, Sprout raises the bar for germination yet again. With twice the thermal conductivity of Aurora+ Gen 2, Sprout warms in minutes and is more stable than ever.
An optional spacer for larger seeds and a 2nd tier tray for more room(both sold separately) makes Sprout scalable to your needs.
Two temperature settings:
Green LED - 77-79 F (25-26 C)
Red LED - 80-82 F (27-28 C)
The LED indicator light is at the bottom of the unit. To change the temperature, locate the temperature switch access point at the bottom of the unit. Insert the key, gently press the switch inside and release. The LED light will change color.
For more temperature options, see The Stack.
What's in the box:
-Sprout base unit
-2 Cotton pads
-USB-C cable
-Temperature selection key
-1 USB-C safety plug
With USB-C connections becoming more universal, in an effort to reduce prices, USB-C charger blocks are not included. *The quality of the charger block used will directly effect the temperature and stability of the unit. We highly recommend Apple brand 5v 20W USB-C power adapter to provide the proper, consistent voltage.*
Sprout uses 1.2 amps 6 watts max at start up, 1 watt during temperature maintenance.
Sprout is approximately 7cm x7cm x2.25cm. The pod has a diameter of 6cm with a depth(including the recessed lid) of 0.25"/0.635cm.
*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 solution to keep your seeds hydrated while using the proper method based on the type of seed you are germinating. Excessive removal of the lid can lead to temperature fluctuations and/or accelerated evaporation of your germination solution.

Scientifically this thing is no different from wet paper towel in a baggie on a heat mat. It's just the single most convenient way ever to do it. No more pulling out the mat and finding a place to set it up. I pop seeds on my desk plugged into my laptop. It pops them flawlessly. I tested the temp accuracy with a Thermapen MK IV and and it's spot on. I love this lil' guy!
Thank you for your order and review! While the concept of wetting seeds between cotton is the same, the temperature stability, even heat distribution and passive air channels truly elevate Seed Starter products above other methods 💪 The low voltage, low power use is also beneficial for homesteading/off-grid or anyone looking to conserve power.
Love this product , got the extension for 20.00 was way worth it . Had 12 seeds and they all sprouted . I would recommend this product if your not to good at sprouted and germinate your seeds and on how quick it did .24-72 hrs . L
Thank you for your review and kind words! Simplifying germination has been our main objective. We love hearing success stories!
Amazing products!
I purchased one of the older versions, tested it with 3 freebies and an old cracked bag seed.
100% germination rate, in less the 48hr (without pre-soaking the seeds).
The Sprout* i purchased worked so well, Im considering the purchase of the upgraded (silicone) lid and perhaps The Flexigerm* for all of my garden seeds.
Note; I also known The Stack* accessory, which i was skeptical about using at first.
I was very surprised when I noticed bag seed, inside The Stack* had a 1/2 inch tap root after about 30hrs ! (the other 3 opened as well but their root wasnt as long. I used the same amount of water for the bag seed and the other. After, I added around 3mls more to the cotton rounds, and within 15hr.
All four seeds, had been placed in their soil and had fully SPROUT*d )
P.s. you couldn't ask for better customer service!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and for the kind words. We love hearing from happy customers about their success with these amazing products!
Got this as an alternative to cannakan. Super happy about my decision. This thing works amazing. Had seeds ready in 2 days. By the 3rd day the tap root was 2inches long. Great product. Only downside is I wish it had a power button to turn it on and off.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! I'm so glad Root Nerds could be your seed germination solution. Thank you for the feedback. The design is intentionally kept simple to avoid failure points like extra buttons.
Amazing product!
