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

I bought the LetPot LPH-SE specifically for seed starting and taking cuttings. While I was initially skeptical, the results have been undeniable: after two rounds, I’ve achieved a 100% germination and rooting rate. ​I haven't tested the included nutrients since I only use the unit as a starter, but the hardware itself performs great. The light height offers ample distance for my needs, and the cleanup process is incredibly easy. ​The only major drawback is the connectivity. The app is frustrating and disconnects almost daily. To get it back online, I have to power-cycle the machine and toggle the Wi-Fi settings manually. If you can overlook the buggy app, it’s a fun, effective, and user-friendly system.

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!

I’m really impressed with how easy this hydroponic system was to set up. From unboxing to getting everything going, it took barely any time. Measuring and adding the plant food into the water was super straightforward—even for someone totally new to hydroponics. The LetPot app is a great bonus—clean design, user-friendly, and makes it easy to track and manage the growing process from your phone. You do need to provide your own seeds, but that’s a small ask and gives you full control over what you grow. I started with four different types of greens just to test it out. If it continues to perform like it has so far, I’ll definitely be picking up another one to try veggies next. Great little system that brings gardening indoors with minimal effort and lots of satisfaction.

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!

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.

First-time with hydroponics over here: Intimidating to open and start but actually very simple to set up and mostly hands free since initial setup. The pump is very very quiet and can only hear if standing with ears right next to the unit. Lights are not any more intrusive than a lamp, in my opinion. Started with bare root Albion strawberry plants and micro variety tomato plant seeds. 17 growing days in and this is an absolute delight. Healthiest plants I’ve ever grown. We’ll see how they do at maturity. I did not setup the auto water adding hose or the phone app. My children mostly run this and did not want them to have to use a phone to operate it. We’ve only added water once so far, at the 14 day mark.

Absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the 12-pod smart hydroponic garden kit. The built-in 24 W full-spectrum LED and adjustable rod make growing fresh herbs and greens indoors both fun and effortless. The 5.5 L water tank means I don’t worry about refilling constantly, and the automatic timer keeps things running smoothly. Setup was super straightforward, and the app control is a convenient bonus. If you’re short on space but still want lush, clean, year-round indoor growth, this system checks all the boxes.

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!

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!! 🌱👍🏼

With AeroGarden shutting down its business on January 1st I needed to find replacement. That replacement is LetPot and the Lawton Max 21 pod hydroponic garden. It’s so much better than AeroGarden as it has so many more functions and features. My favourite is automatic mode, which allows an external reservoir to keep the water levels full and the nutrient reservoir add the correct amount of nutrients as needed. This is a game changer here when you go on vacation or away for periods of time. It becomes set and forget! Also, the greater capacity for pods, which I may say are also compatible with my AeroGarden pods, I can grow more in one footprint. So you’re looking for hydroponic garden or replacement to your AeroGarden you don’t have to look any further LetPot Max is the one!

I set up up my LetPot 2 weeks ago. I was really impressed with the iOS app for controlling it. It’s so easy to use and look how my lettuces have grown already! I think that LetPot will be the way of the future and home hydroponics. Being able to grow my lettuce, spinach and herbs in such a small place and so easily is a game changer for me. It's actually made me want to try growing more things. I've never liked growing edible plants outdoors because of creepy crawlies LOL I am very happy with my purchase and am already considering buying more!
