I purely wanted to see if i could grow plants just on the water crystals. I was looking at the best price to do it at and this was the best price I was shocked it came with so many cristals. I believe I have enough to do my whole indoor garden this year. If this works good I can water once a day and it won't dry out as fast. I really like it a lot I wished it came with a few more test tubes so I bought some single experiments also. I really like all of the science toys I got.
