LETPOT LPH-SE Hydroponics Growing System, 12 Pods Smart Herb Garden Kit Indoor, Indoor Garden, APP & WiFi Controlled, with 24W Growing LED, 5.5L Water Tank, Pump System, Automatic Timer

This kit was easy to assemble, and is good quality. The LED adjustable lights are a useful feature that allows you to grow larger plants. I'm currently growing a tomato and chilli plant. It also acts as a good looking living lamp at nighttime, a bonus feature. Germination and growth rates are impressive. Good value for money.

It’s a very well designed item and build quality seems good too, the app is brilliant easy to use and has all the functionality you might need, a few things failed to thrive but that is more related to fact not all plants need same thing at same time, so need to either plant things that need same level of light ect at same time or modify the conditions of the 12 slots to fit. Also a slight issue I am growing herbs but each of the the 12 plots are great but a little small in most cases to produce enough of a harvest to be of great long term use, but great way to begin growing then transplant the sponges to a larger pot

Purchased this because of the stainless steel tank, and a good growing height for plants.. Easy to set up, and everything is packed neatly in the box, so no damages were sustained. Easy to understand basic instruction booklet, with FAQ on the website. The app is good, though I've yet to work out how to remove plant details from only one pod when growing something new in that pod. I somehow also deleted all the growing info and notes for all the other pods. App does therefore lack some user instructions for certain things. Perhaps in time, I'll have the app all figured out properly. To date, I've grown from seeds - marigolds, lavender (lavender seeds do take around a month to germinate, far longer than other plants), tomato plants, apple tree from pips (though obviously what grows is not true to the actual apple variety) and have then repotted into pots when the plants have reached a good size. I'm currently growing a micro tomato plant (seed put into system 20 days ago) and will leave this in the system until all the tomatoes have grown. Plus, I'm also growing some more lavender. I'm currently only growing 4 plants in total, because I don't want the roots to clog up the water pump. Water level is measured with the indicator situated on top......gets in the way, so would perhaps be better if the water level indicator was built into the front of the stainless steel tank. The kit only includes the bare minimum of baskets, grow sponges, stickers, so you quickly run out of those and have to buy more. Only 6 of the black pod blanks are included, so I've had to buy some extra for when I'm only growing a few plants. Shame that more than 6 blanks are not included in the kit. The water pump runs ok every 30 minutes, then rests for 30 minutes. One thing the instructions do not tell you, is that it is necessary to add a fan which helps keep oedema at bay, makes the plants stronger etc. I had a bit of a problem, but LetPot customer services soon sorted this out for me, so I'm really pleased to know that LetPot do take care of customer concerns etc. Spares can also be purchased from LetPot. Lights work well, though I've had to move plants from the outer edge pods nearer to the middle, because once the plants have grown larger, their leaves grow outside the width of the grow light canopy. Frequently turning them round does also help. Initially, once plants have germinated and the plastic dome cover has been removed, I've found that it is best to tilt the grow light panel downwards, this helps stop the plants from getting too leggy because the growlights on the lowest setting is still too high when the plants are small. The water pump is quiet, and I can't hear it running unless I'm right next to the system. Only time will tell with regards to whether or not the system is value for money .......all depends on the longevity of the water pump, grow lights, etc. However, I've no hesitation in purchasing another LetPot hydroponic system.

●nice mini garden, perfect for us and for anyone who lives in a flat or doesn't have access to a garden, is not big but still gives you that filling when planting your own vegetables in the garden. This garden kit is very comprehensive, apart from the water and seeds it includes everything needed to set it up and the provided user manual is very useful, especially for beginners (everything is explained, even what and how to do with the plants) ●very easy to install and use, it takes about 10 min to put everything together. I used mine to plant some tomatoes and parsley, after 7 I have some results for tomatoes but the parsley seems to take a little longer, anyway works perfect and the pump is very quiet while working, can be used in bedroom. ●this kit is quite smart, it can be set manually using the touch buttons on top of the lamp or through LetPot app( free in appstore) but needs be connected to a wifi network (only 2.4GHz). Once connected, the mini garden and all the settings can be done from the app, just a mini camera is missing, to see your plants from wherever you are. ●the quality seems to be quite good and once assembled looks really nice but the finish for the lamp doesn't look very aesthetic (shown in the pictures). Apart from this only the price seems to be quite high in my opinion.

Great set up. Really enjoying being able to continue ‘gardening’ over the winter. The LetPot is good quality for the price and very easy to get started with. I am growing leafy greens and herbs: mizuna, mustard red frills, rocket, lettuce and basil. These types are great to start with as germination is relatively quick and you can make good progress with them. I have this on the window sill in an unheated kitchen. For this reason, I have it set up on a heated mat to keep it up around 20°C overnight. Once set up, the LetPot is easy to manage and I have been changing the water/nutrients once a week. There is a small plug/bung at the bottom which makes it easy.

Extremely sophisticated item but everything works as the manual says and the build quality is excellent.

Good, but too expensive for what it is

Great at what it does, internet connection can be a bit touch and go. Good value compared to AUK etc. Assembly quick up and running in minutes. Tomato plugs were ready for transplant in three weeks.
