I’m retired and because of the pandemic, I thought I’d try something new.
After scanning the net for hydroponic indoor growing systems, I found the IDOO system and ordered it from here.
I received it and set it up quickly and effortless.
The directions were well written and easily understood. I decided to try similar well known pods that contained seeds. I did this because all of my previous attempts to grow anything resulted in failure. I should note here that all previous attempts were done outside and none hydrophobic. I also chose these pods because they were guaranteed to grow.
I filled it with a combination of filtered and tap water. There was a maximum fill slat across the fill hole as well as a label inside the tank displaying the liters and max fill line. Nice touch.
Although the initial setup was done at 1 PM, I decided to restart the IDOO at 6 AM the following morning. The reason for this was that I wanted the lights on at 6 and off at 8 PM. This was the default cycle of 14 hours for the light system.
Regarding the light system and telescoping pole it’s attached to; I found it a little tight to increase its length, so I took a silicone lubricant and sprayed it lightly on a paper towel then applied it to the first of two extensions. I also left about 1” from the full down position. This allowed easy access to eventually increase the height of the lights.
The IDOO system is working perfectly and the lights come on exactly at 6 every morning.
Because I found a ton of online videos relating to indoor hydrophobic growing, I purchased the following items to aid in my hopeful success: A ph tester, siphon, tomato pods from a competitor’s that fit perfectly and contained clear plastic domes for the pods.
I also used clear plastic tape to seal unused pod holes on the IDOO system.
Although I have not seen sprouts yet ( only 2 days) I am hopeful that my previous ‘Black thump’ turns into a thriving ‘Green Thumb’.
UPDATE after 4 day's; I planted two Tiny Tim Tonato seeds and left the rest of pod holes open. Both have sprouted.
I will update this review as appropriate.
New update: 3 weeks since planting tomato plants, they are growing straight, strong and over 4” high. I am so pleased with the IDOO hydroponic growing system, purchased a second one.
To end this, so far I’m am pleasantly surprised with the IDOO Hydrophobic Grow System for the quality and price.

I was NOT paid to leave a positive review, I was NOT given a discount for a positive review. I paid full price for it and genuinely love this hydroponic system.
This hydroponic garden is an amazing cheaper version of aerogarden! The only difference is that aerogarden actually pumps the water through the top and onto the grow sponges, and idoo just pumps it (moves it) without sending it through the top. It seems to work just fine (and cleaner). It was easy to set up, the instructions are not perfect but clear enough to understand. The device is very light, there's a fill line inside the tank if the grow deck is off and also under the grey cap where you top off your water.
I didn't use the nutrients it came with. I used the aerogarden nutrients because that's what I used to start the tomato plants and didn't want to shock them.
The first 2 pictures I took October 7th, the third picture was taken today, 3 days later, October 10th. I moved the plants into IDOO from my aerogarden October 6th, they only had the sprouting leaves on them. On the 7th, when I took the pictures, they started growing true leaves. And now they have a few.
The little holes diagonally to the pod holes are not holes but indents. I can put skewers in them and make trellises for my tomatoes when they need them.
Overall I love this "aerogarden". I will definitely get a few more of them for my herbs and lettuce. Great quality for a great price.
-UPDATE- February 8, 2021.
My only complaint about the idoo is the timer. It turns the light on and off whenever it feels like it. When I set 16/10, the first few days it will turn on at the time I set it on, after that it will be on at 3 am or whenever else it feels like it. I don't think I'll be getting any more of these after all. I'll stick to aerogarden.

Au top !
Je suis hyper contente de mon achat !Cindy GAu top !

Le produit est livré rapidement, avec les nutriments A & B, des tuteurs, des mousses et les capuchons.
Il faut bien respecter la notice, qui est très claire. Ou que l'on peut retrouver en ligne.
La lumière est assez puissante, il vaut mieux éviter de mettre ça dans une chambre. (Sauf si on désire une veilleuse). Le produit semble de qualité, et est extrêmement bien conçu. Il y a un pompe a eau qui permet de remuer les nutriments dessous. Je suis très contente de mon achat, j'ai hâte de manger mes tomates. 🥰
Le seul point négatif est que les graines ne sont pas incluses. Mais ça permet de pouvoir les choisir nous mêmes. :)

It works, but not very desirable
The main problem is with timer, in short one day for its timer is less than 24 hours, is around 23.5 hours.Kevin LiIt works, but not very desirable
Reviewed in Sweden on January 23, 2022
Which means everyday the time of light turned on will be 30 min earlier (like today it lights 8:00, tomorrow 7:30), and within a week it will be 3 hours earlier, this is a problem.
Other stuff seems works good
