Ahopegarden Hydroponics Growing System: 12 Pods Indoor Herb Garden with LED

Ahopegarden's 12 pod countertop hydroponic system pairs a 4L tank and silent circulation pump with a full-spectrum LED on a post that raises to 14.2 inches, with veggie and fruit and flower light modes.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + 12 grow stations with a water level window, enough for a mixed herb and salad garden on one counter
  • + Light post raises to 14.2 inches and offers separate veggie and fruit and flower light modes
  • + 4L tank and a silent circulation pump keep water and nutrients moving to the roots

Trade-offs

  • - A 14.2 inch height limit rules out tall crops such as full-size tomatoes or peppers
  • - Twelve pods in a countertop footprint sit close together, so large plants will crowd each other
