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

As an Aerogarden user I highly recommend this LetPot system! I’m using a total of 10 indoor hydroponic systems right now for growing leafy greens and herbs (bok choy, tatsoi/tat choy, dazzling blue kale, swiss chard, Parris Island Cos romaine, Genovese basil, Thai basil, parsley, dill, cilantro), Tiny Tim cherry tomatoes, shishito peppers, pot a peño jalapeños and habanada peppers. Our other systems are Aerogarden Bounty and Harvest Elite models, plus 2 Idoo brand systems, and this new LetPot system is MY FAVORITE! I already know that I’d like to purchase another LetPot system in the future! I learned about LetPot by watching reviews from YouTube creators “Sher She Grows” and “Aerogarden Hydroponics Experiments,” both of whom HIGHLY recommended LetPot in their honest reviews and now I know why! The build quality is excellent, comparable to Aerogarden, and the LetPot offers some great features not available with AG systems, and at a lower price point. I’ve already recommended it to a friend who wants go get started with hydroponic systems! CAPACITY/SIZE: The LetPot grow deck is slightly larger than the one on AG Bounty models, with room for 3 additional pods (12 pods in LetPot , 9 in AG Bounty). And the water bowl/tank is also larger (LetPot’s bowl can hold up to 5.5 liters vs. the AG Bounty’s 1 gallon or 3.79 liters capacity). The larger size is a nice bonus because more room means I can grow even more and/or larger plants! And the grow light support rod extends 30 inches high, which is 6” taller than Aerogarden Bounty! This was a major selling point for me because this much height allows enough room to a greater variety of different plants, and also enables me to avoid pruning taller plants as drastically, which, in theory, will also result in greater yield. COMPARISON TEST: The first photo shows kale and tatsoi plants after 28 days, using the light only on the LOWEST setting! When first starting seeds in a new “garden” via the app, the default setting for the lights starts with the lowest/more dim of the two settings. So I decided to test how well the low light setting actually works, and I am blown away! I also have the same plants growing in Aerogarden 30 watt Bounty and 20 watt Harvest Elite systems, and the plants in this LetPot with the LOWEST light setting grew even faster than the ones in the Aerogarden systems! I wasn’t expecting that! Since I was trying out this system for the first time, I initially decided to just plant some extra kale and tatsoi to test how well it works. I was pleased with the LetPot system that I decided to clean the bowl and shuffle around my plant pods, moving all the extra kale and tatsoi pods to other smaller systems, and moving 4 (very precious to me) Tiny Tim tomato plants that I’d recently started in a smaller system into the LetPot, as shown in the 2nd and 3rd photos. I prefer growing fewer plants than the maximum number of pods in hydroponic systems (other than lettuces and herbs, which I always grow in every available pod) because giving plants more room usually results in greater overall yield and better plant health vs. planting every available pod. After seeing repeated advice from the “Aerogarden Hydroponics Experiments” YouTube channel creator, I follow the “rule of 3” for peppers and tomatoes (meaning a maximum of 1 plant per every 3 pods in the system you’re using). So this LetPot system will allow me to grow all 4 of my tomato plants vs only 3 plants if I’d chosen instead to grow them in one of our Bounty models! THE APP: The app works surprisingly well, and it’s a pleasure to use! I had no trouble at all in connecting the system to our WiFi and to my iPhone and iPad. Connected on the first try, and had everything set up in less than a few minutes. The app is SO much better than the app Aerogarden had (I don’t know if this is still supported, but the AG’s app was never helpful to bother with and didn’t work well when I tried using it). With the LetPot app I’m able turn the light and pump on/off, test the pump, keep track of days planted, label each plant pod, adjust the time, set an audible alarm for low water, etc. TRELLIS SUPPORT: I also ordered the optional trellis for this model from Amazon (it’s available in the LetPot Amazon store, but double check that the model number is for this LetPot LPH-SE model because they offer the optional trellis for two different models) for use in the future. With the trellis, I won’t need the individual plant stake supports that come with the system. So I wish the system came with some small plugs to cover all the tiny stake/plant ID holes in the top of the grow deck. Any amount of light shining through the grow deck will contribute to algae growth in this type of system, so I covered all the tiny holes with small pieces of black duct tape (if you look closely in the 2nd photo, you should be able to see the pieces of tape). I’ll probably 3D print some plugs, but the tape works fine in the meantime. This is my only complaint with the system, and it’s not enough of a concern for me to deduct a star. NUTRITION: I haven’t actually tried the LetPot A & B nutrition included with the system, but I’m saving it in case I need it in the future. Since I’m maintaining 10 hydroponic systems, it’s just easier for me to stick with one type of nutrition on the same feeding schedule for all systems. And since we already have Aerogarden liquid nutrients and General Hydroponics MaxiGrow powdered nutrients on hand, this is what I’m using (11ml of Aerogarden nutrition 1st and 2nd feeding, then 17ml each feeding thereafter). LIGHT: The grow light can be tilted front to back which is nice if you’re growing plants of different heights, or if the light is just too bright for your eyes. I can’t tell any visual difference in brightness between this light and the lights on our 30 watt and 40 watt AG Bounty units, so I feel confident that it will be more than enough for our cherry tomatoes and pepper plants, especially after seeing how well the low light-only growing test performed! The grow light can also be adjusted VERY low, to within a couple inches of the grow deck, which is another advantage vs the AG Bounty and Harvest models, which can’t be adjusted nearly this low. Keeping the light low and adjusting it higher as the plants grow keeps plants happy and prevents leggy growth, so it’s nice that the LetPot’s grow light can be adjusted down low enough accommodate even the tiniest seedlings. The light can be dimmed via buttons on the top of the light hood or via the app. OVERALL QUALITY: The grow sponges, grow baskets and stickers are high quality and are also compatible with Aerogarden and Idoo systems, which is convenient for me as I will continue to move plant pods to and from units from other brands, depending on what I’m growing. The stainless steel on the bowl’s exterior is a premium touch and is also easy to clean. The Interior of the bowl is black plastic, which is actually preferable to an all metal bowl, since the hydroponic nutrients might interact with a stainless steel interior. I haven’t tried draining the tank via the drainage plug on the rear of the unit, but this is a nice feature. I was initially concerned that this plug in the bowl might leak, but it doesn’t! It’s 100% water tight with a silicone seal. I’m so confident that this system won’t leak that I have it placed on a wire shelving unit directly above 4 other systems. The LetPot is super easy to disassemble and clean, too! If you’re considering a hydroponic system, this is definitely the one I would recommend. I love Aerogardens, but I love this LetPot even more! I purchased this LetPot system with my own money, and am not sponsored by anyone. So If this review has been helpful for you, please click the button below to let me know!

The unit is very well made and grows everything we have put into it. It is extremely quiet when the pump is running which is nice. It also comes with everything you need outside of seeds to get going. We have grown Basil, Dill, Parsley, Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano, Marjoram, Cilantro and Mint all very successfully. We tried cherry tomatoes and it needed more space with all the herbs we had so we got rid of the plant. It could work if the only thing you grew was fruiting plants, started them at the same time and had them spaced out far enough. It is made from quality material, very easy to set up and use especially with the app. I highly recommend this product. I also included pics of our herb drying area and a few shakers we have going of the dried herbs.

Very nice product easy to put together no problem understanding instructions. Thus far it’s working great I have some cuttings from my Hoyas as well as some philodendrons they seem to be doing great!

I’m really impressed with this indoor garden system. The setup was surprisingly easy — I had it out of the box, assembled, and running in just 30 minutes. The companion app is extremely easy to use and walks you through everything step-by-step, which makes the whole process totally stress-free. The best part? My first round of herbs is already sprouting! I’ve never had much luck growing things indoors, but this system basically does all the work for you. The light, reminders, and simple controls make it perfect even if you’re not a natural grower.

Much better than A**garden. I bought an A**garden, that screen went out in 6 months. Filed warranty claim but they don't honor it because I bought that from Amazon's third party. On the other hand, this Letpot is still working like new. I can control it with my phone via wifi. Costs less and lasts longer. Also easy to mantain. I can see the water level easily. Change water or clean up is a breeze. I have been growing mainly lettuce with this system. As shown in the picture, they are about 3 - 4 weeks old. Everyday, I havest a good portion for my noodles for lunch. I highly recommend this Letpot.

Very easy to setup. Every seed planted has germinated and it looks great. The app works pretty well too.

I am loving this indoor garden system! It works great and I was honestly surprised by how fast my garden started growing. The setup was incredibly easy right out of the box. I’m also really impressed with the app functionality; it works perfectly and makes managing the lights and settings a breeze. Highly recommended if you want fresh plants with zero hassle!

Reduce to a 1 rating. I turned off the wifi access and now the lights are flashing. Buying something to replace this then will try to return it but might not be able to since I threw away the boxes. Lesson learned, don't trust this company. The product itself is looks nice and setup is pretty quick. I turned it up looking to setup the on/off time and... no options. Ok, so lets see what the app can do. Start up the app and it says you can start without setting up an account... Good so far. Use the Bluetooth connection to connect to the System.... and it won't let you without creating an account. So, first you create an account. Then it tells you it won't work without you providing them with you home WiFi password! Ugh! If you provide a password, which I did, then the app is decent. I had to update all of my systems and make sure they all had passwords that were different than the password for the account this company requires. The setting for time for the lamp are only in the App. Testing out other system and then likely throwing this one away and deleting my account there. How does a company think it is ok to DEMAND your password to get their plant pot to work. If you value your privacy, don't by this. If you have passwords set for everything, give it a try but if they get hacked, you need to realize that everything you own may become a target.

Super satisfeita com meu Letpot. Já colhi rúculas e alface, agora estou plantando tomate. Espero comprar outro em breve! O cabo não é compatível com a tomada brasileira, mas é só usar um adaptador.

Always wanted to grow some healthy fruit and veg without having to use pesticides and with minimum effort. Researched a few of these hydroponics home kits and settled on Letpot. Happy I did. Great quality, good extendable height for the light as the produce grows and holds 5l of water with a level indicator which is useful for monitoring as the seedlings grow in to plants. Was very easy to setup and start growing plus the Letpot smartphone app is a nice addition for setting the lights and day/night schedule. It’s exciting to come home after work to check how your produce has grown all day and I’m enjoying rocket and spinach already after only 24days!! 🌱👍🏼

I love this thing so much! My kids and I are having fun experimenting and watching our veggies grow. Super easy to use, app works great. Highly recommend !!

Broken product ! Such a waste of money and time

I am very pleased with the quality, design, and function of my Letpot hydroponic units. I purchased two Letpot Seniors and one Letpot Air. The setup was easy and I love that I can synchronize the lights on the app. My plants are thriving and every morning I look forward to seeing how much they have grown over night. It brings me joy to grow my own vegetables in my tiny apartment. In case Letpot reads my review, I do have a few minor suggestions for future improvements: - The water filling hole should be bigger and the bar down the center of the hole should be removed. With the current design, it is difficult to add water without splashing. I have been pouring water through a funnel as a workaround. - Unlike the Letpot Senior, the pump cover on the Letpot Air does not have holes in it. As a result, the pump cover blocks most of the water movement generated by the pump. I don't understand the difference in design, and I would prefer to have a pump cover with holes in both models. - It would be great to have a designated spot on the app where I can record my pH and EC readings so that I can monitor changes over time. Update: Added a second photo. I grew two Tiny Tim Tomato plants in the Letpot Senior and harvested over 100 little tomatoes!
