They are fully automated and include all fans, filters, lights, pumps, and everything else you need to grow. They’re ideal for beginners and people looking for big yields with less effort.

Now: Before we check out the complete hydroponic grow system reviews below, here are the specs you should look for to get the best hydroponic system. Let’s go!
Wattage: How bright is the darn thing? Wattage is one way of estimating how much power an indoor grow box will use. It’s also a common way of gauging how powerful the included lights are. More is better but see the review below.
Odor Control: Listed as a percent, odor control indicates how good the grow closet is at keeping your room or home from smelling like fertilizer and other odors. We let you know in the reviews how well these grow cabinets control odor.
Light Proof: Also listed as a percent, this spec indicates how closed up the system really is. Higher is better. Hint: The best ones are very closed up. Leaking light means less effective growing and may also disturb plants at night.
Light Type: We let you know what type of light is included with the grow closet: LED, HPS, or CFL. LED is energy efficient and cool, HPS is hotter but makes plants grow rapidly, CFL needs to be adjusted but work well in small spaces.
Full Automated: We explain in the review whether the grow box can function on its own or not, meaning it can make growing adjustments if left alone. All of the top grow boxes on our list offer automation, making your life easier!
Dimensions: The size of a grow box (usually measured in feet) is important depending on how many plants you want to grow, how big they are, as well as how much floor space you can dedicate to the growing system.
