The 5 best hydroponic kits
Below are ranked our most popular hydroponic growing systems :
1. Kitchen hydroponic kit
We like the kitchen hydroponic kit a lot. It’s small enough to fit in a kitchen but will still help you grow up to 6 plants at a time.
Available from Amazon it’s the ideal automated hydroponic kit for beginners – as it will show you how it works and also helps you get great results.
In addition the special grow lights mean you can grow your herbs & vegetables all year around.
2. Starter Hydroponic Kit
The starter hydroponic kit (shown right) is great for learning how hydroponics works.
Available from Amazon it will let you grow 3 plants (your favourite specialist herbs?) and show you why hydroponics will help you get better results than growing them in soil.
A key advantage of the unit is the automated reminder of when to add water & nutrients.
And in addition the lights will also automatically switch on and off.
3. The click and grow system
This is a very unusual hydroponic system with very fast results.
Their indoor garden works just like a capsule coffee machine.
- But instead of coffee pods, use biodegradable plant pods.
- More than 75 + different plant varieties.
- Automated watering, light and nutrients controlled by App
- Details on Amazon
Please note that they do have over 75 different plant varieties – with many different herb & vegetable types.
4. The 4 pot hydroponic system
The 4 pot hydroponic system is great for growing tomatoes & peppers indoors.
As opposed to the other hydroponic growing systems for beginners this one will let you grow taller plants.
Available from Amazon it’s compact enough to fit just about anywhere, and is very easy to install and use.
However, please do note that you will also need to buy a specialist grow light (if you want to grow tomatoes and peppers in darker months)
5. DIY Hydroponic Kit
If you are new to hydroponics, and just want to try it. Then why not have a look at my DIY hydroponic kit.
Building your own diy hydroponic system at home is very easy and a lot of fun.
All you will need are 3 items:
- The tank
- An hydroponic air pump
- Planting cups & sponges
Of course in addition you will also need plants to grow and the right type of plant food to add to the water. Yes the system I built was very basic but will show you how it works.
