REVIEW – This year my wife has experienced an amazing summer gardening season with crops that have produced bountifully each day. I can’t remember the last time we went to the market to buy greens.

Performance
Our experience with the LetPot LPH-SE Hydroponics Growing System was mostly good. We did encounter some issues with setting the lighting schedule via the app and we ended up using the default on/off times. In addition, the lights on one of the LetPots worked according to the automated schedule while the other did not and still requires us to turn on the lights manually. It does shut them off automatically and according to schedule. Also, we did find that the devices would frequently disconnect from the wireless connection. I have high bandwidth and a robust wireless connection throughout my home.
The Control Panel:
The following photos are just a glimpse of the period throughout the growing process:
The App:
As you can see from the photos above, the plants progressed nicely and produced enough that if using multiple systems, the supply for salads would be adequate at least for my household. The system is silent and other than ensuring that the growing lights are at the correct height over the plants, on for the correct amount of hours daily, and the water level is adequate, not much more maintenance is necessary,
Checking water level:
By now I know that you are wondering how things turned out. So, here you go:
What I like
- The Attractive Design
- All supplies necessary to get started right away are included
- Easy to assemble and use
- App controlled
- The results
What I’d change
- The app and lighting controls can be unreliable
Final thoughts
The LetPot LPH-SE Hydroponics Growing System works well for growing herbs and salad items indoors. It is easy to use and produces great results. I can see my wife with several more LetPot systems to even grow small tomatoes indoors. Well done!!

I purchased this system 6 months ago and it worked for 3 months then when i tried to power it on to grow more seeds, No power. I have reached out to LetPot service department and they have been no help. There 12 month warranty is worthless and you can only reach them between 5am to 12 noon our time. Very disappointed with my $260.00 dollar piece of garbage. don’t waist your time or money there are plenty of other systems that are much cheaper and work very well.
