Hydroponic kits, grow lights and grow tents

Online forums, gardening blogs and hydroponic gardening books are good places to start. Our product pages cover setup and care for the kits we sell, and you can email us with any question.

Hydroponic gardening delivers water and nutrients straight to the roots without soil. Results depend on the crop, the light and your setup.

Yes. Leafy greens and herbs are the easiest place to start, and many growers also grow strawberries and small tomato varieties with enough light and support.

Each of our kits lists its parts and specifications on its product page so you know what arrives. If anything turns up damaged, faulty or with parts missing, tell us and we will put it right.

The best grow medium depends on the system; popular choices include rockwool, clay pebbles, and coco coir, offering support and aeration to roots.

Lighting, watering and nutrient dosing can all be put on timers or controllers. The kits we sell are simple systems with a pump.

Use a pH meter and a TDS or EC meter, and test the water regularly so you can keep it in the range your plants need. Meters are not included with our kits.

It depends on what you grow, how much you grow and what you would otherwise spend on produce. Running costs are electricity for the pump and any lights, plus nutrients and water.

Hydroponic gardens can indeed grow year-round, providing consistent light, temperature, and nutrients, independent of outdoor conditions.

We can help you choose a system for your space and work out whether you need grow lights. Email us before you order with your space and what you want to grow.

Yes. Our 11 cup deep water culture kit fits on a bench or worktop, and the slanted 36 cup NFT kit uses height rather than floor space.

Every 2 to 3 weeks, or as the nutrient maker recommends, topping up with water in between.

Filtered or reverse osmosis water is a good choice. Tap water can work too if you test it and adjust the pH.

Yes, you can mix brands, but ensure compatibility, especially with electrical components and system parts, to maintain efficiency and safety.

You can lower the risk by cleaning equipment between crops, using clean water, keeping light out of the reservoir and checking plants often.

We answer product and setup questions by email, and a person reads every message. We do not offer installation.

Recent developments include app-connected monitoring, LED lights with different light spectrums and automatic nutrient dosers. The kits we sell are simple systems with a pump.

Maintain by regularly checking and cleaning equipment, monitoring water and nutrient levels, and replacing grow lights and filters as needed.

We do not make environmental claims about the products we sell. Each product page describes how it works and gives its specifications.

It depends on how much they run and how well they are looked after. Where a supplier gives a rated life for a light, it is on that product page. Pumps last longer when they are kept clean and never run dry.

Many suppliers offer customization, allowing you to tailor kits based on your space, the plants you wish to grow, and your level of experience.

Tomatoes are large, heavy plants that need room for big roots, strong support and plenty of light. Leafy greens and herbs are a better fit for our kits.

A nutrient solution, enough light and a system such as deep water culture or NFT. Lettuce and herbs are good first crops for our kits.

LED grow lights generally use less power than older lamp types for the same light. Check each light's wattage on its product page before you buy.

We do not sell nutrients. Some growers use nutrients sold as organic, but growing hydroponically does not by itself make a crop certified organic.

Starting a hydroponic garden depends on scale and technology.

Yes, while designed for indoor use, certain hydroponic systems can be adapted for outdoor use, offering flexibility in growing locations.

A starter system, a nutrient solution, a pH test kit, and grow lights if you are growing indoors. Our 11 cup kits include an air pump and our NFT kits include a water pump.

Hydroponics Equipment Suppliers vary in specialty, offering everything from basic starter kits to advanced systems and nutrients tailored for specific plants, catering to both hobbyists and commercial growers.

Hydroponic Equipment encompasses tools and systems for growing plants in water without soil, including nutrient reservoirs, pumps, grow lights, and pH meters, facilitating efficient indoor gardening.
