This ALTO Garden HX Light Kit can be purchased a la carte, if you purchased your ALTO Garden HX Tower without lights. This allows you to move your HX Tower completely indoors, or further inside your home away from windows. It's easy to add to your tower - simply remove the tower cover and replace it with the HX light base. Attach the LED lighting arms to the light base, and your plants will receive its full-spectrum lighting power to fuel their growth.
Designed to grow a greater number of your favorite plants, each of the HX lighting arms has 168 diodes per arm for a total of 672 (x4) for the entire grow light kit. Not only does this increase lighting power, but also provides fuller and more complete coverage across the tower. The arms are designed with an aluminum heat sink which are meant to quickly dissipate heat so your plants receive their light without getting too warm.
The light base comes with a built-in timer to help keep your growing automated. You don't want to leave your lights on for 24 hours as that will stress your plants. Just like humans, plants need a rest period too. The timer can be set in 15 minute increments for fine-tuning your schedule. For indoor growing - we recommend lighting your garden tower for 12 - 16 hours a day. We find 14 hours to be around the sweet spot for most plant species.
Each lighting arm on the ALTO Garden HX Light Kit can be individually adjusted up and down, as well as moved closer to or further away from the tower. This allows you to deliver the right amount of light depending on the growth stage of the plant. Bring the lighting arm closer during the seedling stage and back the arm further away as the plant grows. This allows the proper lighting distribution whatever the plant's stage of life.

Firstly, you’ll know exactly how your food
was grown – pesticide and herbicide free.
Buying commercially grown food is risky
since chemicals are often used, and there
is risk of parasite and bacterial contamination
during processing and transport.
Taylor Farms’ cyclospora and salmonella
outbreaks in 2026 are an example.
What can I grow in an ALTO Garden Tower?
You can grow fresh leafy greens, vegetables,
herbs and some fruits.
Examples include lettuce, spinach, kale,
chard, and cabbages like bok choy.
Herbs like parsley, basil, dill, thyme and
rosemary all do well.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and strawberries
are some examples of fruits you can grow.
It’s worth noting – root vegetables are not
good candidates for hydroponic towers.
Since root vegetables grow downward, they are
difficult to harvest from inside the system.
Examples of root vegetables include carrots,
potatoes and onions.
What are other benefits of growing with hydroponic towers?
Since hydroponic growing does not require soil,
the system is very clean which makes it easy
to use indoors.
Hydroponic towers utilize closed-loop watering,
recycling water up and down the system.
This leads to 95% water savings compared to
traditional gardening.
You can also expect faster growth and greater
yields. Nutrients are delivered straight to
plant roots, so roots don’t need to spend
energy looking for them.
Instead, plants can focus more energy on
growing and fruiting.
Vertical towers also have a very small footprint!
In just 3 square feet, you can grow dozens and
dozens of plants.
Do I need gardening experience?
No, you don’t need any gardening experience
to grow with hydroponic towers.
Hydroponic towers are highly automated through
the use of timers.
Watering should run on set intervals of say,
15 minutes per hour for 14 hours. Lighting
should run continuously for 14–16 hours.
Once your timers are set, growing becomes
automatic!
What about seedlings?
Upon ordering your tower, you’ll want to get
seeds from your local Home Depot, nursery or
online.
