If you would like to grow vegetables indoors we have a range of solutions which we believe will help you make the most of limited resources e.g. space and light.
Some features of the modular plant stands:-
· Most of them are constructed of clear Perspex, making them attractive and very functional e.g. being clear means that no valuable light is obstructed to the plant be it from a window or a LED light.
· IVG S1 and S2 are modular and can be expanded either vertically and in some cases horizontally as well. If you have a sunny window then they can be used standalone, if you do not have enough light than they can be assembled with a range of different types of low-power LED grow lights. And of course you can do a combination e.g.
1- If you had a window which was say 0.8m from the ground, you could have the bottom part of the stand growing plants under the LED lights and the top of the stand using the sun coming in the window.
2- Another scenario, using IVG S2, if you had a floor-to-ceiling glass panel you could grow pot plants in the Shelfs closest to the window and then use the LED lights on Shelfs that are facing in towards the living area.
Reasons why you may choose to grow your vegetables indoors, with or without the assistance of low-power LED grow lights.
· Like me, you may live in an apartment and your small balcony does not really get enough sun, or more competition from the insects and birds is just too much.
· You may not have an accessible sunny window ledge or you may not have enough of them. I have a kitchen window ledge that gets good sun in summer but very little in winter.
· You may have a large family or like me, like lots of salad, with the LED grow lights you can easily turn a bookshelf into your own personal salad farm.
· Growing vegetables inside is very convenient and free from animal and insect competition (you do not have to check every leaf or wash it for that matter, before you add it to your salad), growing under lights gives you flexibility as to where you do it with limited space, and growth rates are not affected by season, making having an indoor garden that much easier.
· Using the latest low wattage, high intensity LED grow lights, gives you even more options as it is now not only much cheaper to run, they can also be used to grow vegetables to flower & fruit in very short periods of time. eg Tomatoes, Strawberries etc.
Electricity Costs
to give you an example, using IVG-S1 Base Kit 1 or 3 with 2x9 W LED lights i.e. less than 20W, you can grow to small pots of herbs or for 200 mm diameter trays of micro-greens at 2012 electricity prices this is approximately $0.25 per week.
Below you will find categories which contain our Indoor Vegetable Garden (IVG) series of growing systems, and below that you will find a category that contains all the various LED grow lights that we supply, we have collected them all in one place in case you would like to just build your own system, but please have a look at the IVG series, as we have put a lot of design and thought into making these systems as versatile and functional as possible.
Below that you will find a category for a range of smaller style plant stands principally designed to sit on a window ledge or table next to a sunny window, as they do not have the option of being upgraded to use low-power LED grow lights.
1- IVG-Series 1
This growing system is based around having 1 to 2 pot plants per shelf which sit in a 20cm diameter base tray, which also can be used to grow micro-greens sprouts. If extra light is required they use 30cm long low-power LED grow lights e.g. 2 shelves giving you 4 trays of micro-greens would require one set of 2 lights at under 20W of electrical energy. It can be expanded vertically i.e. 3 Shelfs up to 1.8 m high each shelf comes in stand heights of either 60 cm or 48 cm.
2- IVG-Series 2
This growing system is based around the use of rectangular base trays (475/575mm long), these can be used to grow micro-greens sprouts or 3 pot plants. If you do not have enough sunlight then this stand users 60cm long lights, although it can also be used with the shorter 30 cm lights as well, although in the majority of situations if you wanted to use the shorter lights then IVG-Series 1 is the best solution.

2- IVG-Series 3
This growing system is a frame that supports LED grow lights that surround the plant, the most common use of this system is to use one or 2 tomato tower pot plants to grow tall plants e.g. tomatoes, they can be trained to grow in a tight spiral giving incredibly dense growth in a small area, lights can be fitted both above the plant and vertically at the sides.
Both IVG S1 & 2 can be used to grow similar things e.g. short-term Micro-greens or sprouts, pots of Herbs, or even 1 or 2 large plants such as tomatoes. IVG- Series 1 has a slightly more elegant design but IVG- Series 2, can be expanded on and added to in more ways, making it the total functional solution for the tiniest spot i.e. in a bookshelf or up to 1.8m tall cascading system growing combinations of sprouts and herbs.
