We're probably going to hear some sensationalist "news" coming out of China.
Before the usual sensationalist talking heads waste your time speculating about Communist collapse and selling you dehydrated bitcoin and bomb shelter beans, keep in mind that they were also wring about the last fifty/five hundred/five thousand sensationalist predictions of doom they made.
China is a Superpower.
China is at the center of, or the source of every major tech and modernization enterprise on the planet.
There may be some blood splattered on the inner walls of Zhongnanhai from time to time, but the country will keep running. The shit factories will keep Amazon vendors and Walmart in stock. Chinese society will still function. The Chinese military & intelligence apparatus will still keep functioning.
I don't have time to write a full threat assessment right now but keep your ears and eyes open - and your nose - because you are about to see, hear, and smell an epic amount of bulkshit in the coming days/weeks.
Then after the talking heads make their sales quota for digitally duping their followers, all these CCP collapse stories will vanish and they will find another distraction to ram down your throats.
I'm not annoyed with the audiences that are trying to seek reliable insight -- I am just disgusted and disappointed with the influencers in this space that make their living on spiking public cortisol and draining their well-meaning and naive audiences with constant paranoia.
Tragic indeed... And critical for officer safety to examine how many times this officer had to fck with his optic under stress to compensate for the lighting conditions. Optics on defensive handguns are fking stupid, dangerous, and lethal distractions when milliseconds matter.

1. Assure you have a dedicated space for your hydroponic garden unit(s).
2. Assure the temperature range for that area is compatible with survivability of plants.
3. Definitely make sure whatever product you buy has an integrated light/pump timer/controller! You do not want a manual only system. Just fill up with water, plant seeds/pods, plug-in, walk away.
4. these work best with short-cycle leafy greens and herbs. You can start and grow peppers and tomatoes - but be realistic what those little growing cells can support. These work great for germinating and starting transplants however - I transplanted hundreds of pepper, lavender, tomato, herb, squash, and other seedlings from my Aerogarden with the high density cell grid upgrade.
5. Be realistic and honest with what you are trying to accomplish, and temper that with what you truly know you are capable of ...

As always, I have included the BEST Value-to-Use Case/applicability option, which means it is the best fit for the use or task being demanded of it, with cost being as low as possible but not so low that you are just wasting money on trash. This is the absolute best fit for the use - which sometimes is the cheapest, most expendable thing.
I have also included the absolute best Premium Quality option if you have the budget. Sometimes this is just the only option because anything less is a waste of money or inadequate. In cases where I add a Premium option, I will explain WHY it is premium over the best value-to-applicability option.
In cases where only one option is provided: That is the best option regardless of what else is allegedly better, cheaper, or brand recognized. If I only list one option, don't waste money getting a name brand alternative or waste twice as much money getting a cheaper useless alternative that will fail and result in needing to replace that with the suggested thing you should have got the ...
