I was looking around and I found a setup a person used with the AeroGarden. What do you guys think of the setup? I thought it was pretty cool and nice looking.
They should be able to handle starting exotic chillies since you don't have to worry about watering them every 1 or 2 days in soil in those jiffy pucks or w/e. I did a test to see how much heat one of those put out and I wouldn't warm up around 510 cubic feet area with one having it running all day during the winter. As for the summer time I never had to much heat from 1 of those.
You are looking at around $150 for a 6 pod system to $200+ for a 7 pod system depending what 7 pod model you chose and if you chose to get extras for it. The AeroGarden 7 pod system has about a 2 foot grow height from the top of the container to the lights and in the 6 pod system its less so you have to remember that you have to learn how to tie down, top and fim in the AeroGarden but every thing I grow in it love the system.
In the end I would recommend them if you don't mind spending the money over having to buy all the parts to build your own and have to use more then 1 plug or wire it together so that you can use 1 plug for your custom AeroGarden setup. I was doing pricing on making my own 7+ pod version of the AeroGarden 7 system but just for the light fixtures and lights I am looking at around $100 give or take just for the lights.
When you buy one new they come with a seed kit and nutes so you don't have to buy any. Also yes you can use any kind of nuts in it. I started using B-1 Thrive in mine.
