Not “Smart”, Issues with Mold & Non-Sprouting for Gardyn Studio 2
I have had my Gardyn studio 2 for about 2 months. Despite following maintenance recommendations, the Gardyn has had lots of issues with mold. The AI/“smart” features of the Gardyn are not helpful or smart and didn’t alert me to these root/mold issues. The Gardyn cannot even determine which plants you are growing and share recommendations, which I felt was one of the main benefits to the “smart” system. I have had at least 1/3 of the seeds/pods fail to sprout. I left a 2- star review after being requested by Gardyn to leave a review, and I noticed they never posted it on their website even though it was fair and accurate. After reaching out to customer service to inquire about a return, I am ineligible because I didn’t check that I completed one of the tasks one time. I am now debating whether to try to sell or give away. Although some plants have grown well, the lack of smart features and high maintenance are hard to upkeep. The light is also so bright for an actual studio apartment.
