Power: Listed in Watts, this spec shows how much power you can expect your hydroponic greenhouse to draw. It can also give you an idea of how powerful the lighting intensity is. Generally, 5 to 45W is an ideal balance.
Pods: This number tells you how many planting sections there are. More pods mean you can add more plants, such as for a full indoor vegetable garden, while fewer pods may work best for keeping a handful of herbs.
Grow Height: How tall can your plants grow before they start bumping up against the light? The grow height (in inches) will tell you. Most hydroponic gardening systems in this style have adjustable-height lighting systems, by the way.
Product Dimensions: How big is the darn thing? You want to avoid hydroponic setups that won’t fit in your available space, but a larger garden also means a larger water reservoir and more pods to grow plants in. It’s a trade-off.
Full Spectrum LED: LEDs are more energy-efficient than CFL and HPS lighting while lasting longer and running cooler. Full-spectrum LED provides all wavelengths that the sun does to help plants grow and thrive.
Available Colors: Most of these indoor garden systems are available in simple, modern black, but some are also available in other colors and even stainless steel for a sleek look. The choice is yours, we’ll tell you about the options.
