Is the Sprout's aeration set up really very good? Was wondering if adding an air pump to my Sprouts if it would help plants grow any better? I don't really plan to invest into any larger machines so... this looks good to me, if so.
Thanks, Rick

IMO what will make your plants grow better is stronger lighting.
Simple supplemental LED bulb in a reflector next to the machine may make a difference.

What about one of these. I do have two machines and this appears that I could 'bend' the necks the way I need them to go. It's the 40w model.

I would try that for myself if I were looking for supp lighting for a Sprout, although I have never tried it. For 20 bucks it can do nothing but help , and it is ideal for a small space too! I notice in the video that it has levels of lighting as well!

Installed and working like a pro. Only real complaint I have is that the goosenecks are too short. |

I may get one of these in the future. Especially if I have a tall and a short plant. I can place this where the shorter one is so it is not being deprived of light.

That's a good idea. I'll take a pic of it set up a little later.
