Until now, germination assistance has been limited to inefficient, low quality heat mats that are fragile and expensive to keep replacing. An ideal germination environment is one that cocoons your seeds in evenly distributed heat and hydration, allowing them the perfect opportunity to flourish. Certain seeds can be very expensive and others require lengthy periods of incubation to germinate, leaving them vulnerable. That is why we have created this energy conscious, highly effective and safe place to start your seeds. Eliminating environmental stress during this critical process can aid in yielding a strong healthy plant.
1.5 amp max 5 watts USB-C plug. Made of a die cast, anodized aluminum compound with high thermal conductivity to provide even, consistent heat. Powder coated to protect from wear and corrosion.
Now available in two temperature settings:
The flashing green light indicates the Aurora+ is on and warming to the 80/82 F (27/28 C) setting.
The solid green light indicates the Aurora+ is on and warming to the 75/77 F (24/25 C) setting.
Temperature selection instructions: Simply plug in the Aurora+ and observe which setting the light indicates. If you desire the opposite temperature, just unplug the unit and plug it back in to toggle between settings. Once the Aurora+ reaches the preset temperature, it will maintain that temperature evenly throughout all 12 germination pods.
Stick-on rubberized feet are included to maximize thermal efficiency on any surface. Make sure the outside of your Aurora+ is clean and dry, then just stick them to the bottom in each of the 4 corners. This will protect from heat loss on surfaces like granite, marble, stainless steel or anything else that stays cool to the touch.
In the box:
1 Aurora+ filled with cotton pads
1 usbc cord
1 usbc wall plug
1 pair of tweezers
1 pipette
4 silicone stick on feet for thermal efficiency

1 year limited manufacturer's warranty: Never submerge in water. Never get the USB port or indicator light wet. Never use without the silicone protective sticker in place above the USB port. Do not open the sealed panel on the bottom. Never use more than the recommended amount of water (2.0 ml per pod with cotton, 1.0 ml without cotton) in each seed pod. Never over saturate your medium used in the Aurora+ Expansion Pack to the point that liquid is pooling inside, on top of the Aurora+ lid. Warranty void with water damage. Warranty void if bottom panel opened. Use the cord and wall plug provided. Unplug when not in use. Do not use metal tools with the Aurora+.
***Root Nerds is not liable for any failed seed germination*** There are many factors that can influence the outcome. Proper preparation, seed storage and sanitation habits are some of the keys to success. It is your responsibility to select the proper temperature, add the correct amount of fluid to keep your seeds hydrated and select the proper method based on the type of seed you are germinating. Excessive removal of the lid can lead to temperature decrease and/or accelerated evaporation of your germination solution.
