Yes, under the right conditions. Our LED Grow Lights will support a plant’s photosynthesis process during the growth cycle via photosynthetic active radiation technology and high photosynthetic photon flux levels incorporated in our products. With high PPF, plants can reach their full growth faster (within an indoor environment @ hrs. per day) than the time under direct sunlight (outdoor environment).
While this is one of the most expensive options on our list, we think its worth it if you want a self-sufficient way of growing herbs and vegetables. Keep in mind that you do need to purchase special pods and plant food. However, AeroGarden does provide many different types of pods and plant food for purchase. Also, this is one of AeroGardens largest systems, so while it does hold up to nine plants, you may want to make sure you have the right amount of space for it. While we found that it doesnt make a lot of noise, the light could be a little distracting if you are in a small space trying to work or watch TV while it is on.
Similar to the AeroGarden Bounty Basic, the Click & Grow is an all-in-one system that keeps your plants thriving with both water and light, with little effort on your part. However, if you are looking for a smaller system for a few herbs, we love the Click & Grow, for its simplicity, and compact footprint. We also tested this product in our lab for three months and found it very easy to put together, living up to its name. Although it required a little bit more than clicking and growing, we just had to insert the pods, place the clear domes on top of them, pour water into the basin, and plug in the power cord.
After researching dozens of indoor grow lights and reaching out to experts for insights, we sent several of these options to our testers around the country to test for several weeks. We also set up several in our lab to monitor over three months. At each location, we set up the light and recorded how long it took to set up, and noted any assembly that was required. Plus, we noted if the instructions were easy to follow, or were tricky and confusing. We then noted where we set up the light, how much space was required, and which plants we used it on. We noted the bulb type and wattage of each grow light, and then generally monitored the growth and health of the plant.
This modular unit from Gardeners Supply Company allows you to grow plants vertically and expand as needed. Measuring x . x inches at its base, the compact, stackable design frees up precious floor space. Each shelf can hold up to pounds, and you can add up to two shelves—in addition to the base unit. When stacking two or more units, you may need to anchor it to a wall with the supplied brackets for added stability.
