Turn your kitchen counter into a year-round microgreen garden. The LaNiTex Smart Microgreen Growing Kit (Black Metal) is a self-watering microgreen growing kit that grows fresh, nutrient-dense microgreens — broccoli, radish, sunflower, pea and more — in about 7 to 14 days, with a timed full-spectrum LED doing the work for you. It works just as well as a micro herbs growing kit: the same kit raises the herb microgreens known as micro herbs, like basil and coriander, for fresh kitchen garnish.
Microgreens are harvested young, at the seedling stage, which is when they are most nutrient-dense — research assessing 25 varieties found they generally carry higher levels of vitamins and carotenoids than the same crops grown to maturity (USDA / University of Maryland research, Xiao et al. 2012).
In a nutshell: The LaNiTex Smart Microgreen Kit is a reusable, self-watering countertop microgreen growing kit — a hydroponic grower that produces a tray of fresh microgreens in 7–14 days using a soil-free fibre mat and an automatic full-spectrum LED. It is growing hardware — you supply your own seeds. $129 (black metal), backed by a 1-year warranty. Because micro herbs are just herb microgreens, it doubles as a micro herbs kit too.
Why you'll love this countertop microgreen growing kit
- Fresh microgreens in 7–14 days. A controlled light-and-water environment helps seeds sprout quickly and grow evenly, so you go from sowing to harvest in a week or two.
- 2-second root cleanup. Lift the removable inner basket and rinse the whole root mass clean in seconds — no soil, no mess.
- Self-watering reservoir. The reservoir keeps the mat evenly moist and reduces the risk of over- or under-watering, so the kit can look after itself for days.
- Set-and-forget LED. The full-spectrum LED runs on an automatic daily timer that mimics a natural daylight cycle — no sunny windowsill required.
- Better germination with the included dome. The blackout germination dome creates a dark, humid microclimate that improves early sprouting.
- Food-safe and built to last. Made from durable, non-toxic, food-safe materials, with a sleek black metal finish that suits a modern kitchen.
What's in the box
- Black metal base with self-watering reservoir
- Removable inner growing basket (the 2-second root-rinse system)
- Automatic full-spectrum LED grow light with built-in timer
- Blackout germination dome
- Biodegradable transplant bags
- 2 starter grow mats
The kit includes 2 starter grow mats to get you growing straight away — you just supply your own microgreen seeds. The germinating growing mat is the soil-free growing medium your seeds sit on; restock the 10-pack when your starters run out.
How to grow microgreens in 7–14 days
- Sow — spread seeds evenly across a moist grow mat in the basket and top up the reservoir.
- Cover — fit the blackout dome and keep it dark for 3–5 days while the seeds sprout.
- Light — remove the dome and switch on the LED; it runs on an automatic daily cycle.
- Top up — refill the reservoir every few days; the mat wicks moisture up to the roots.
- Harvest — cut just above the mat at 7–10 days (radish, broccoli) or 10–14 days (sunflower, pea). Expect roughly 80–120 g per tray.
We grew several trays ourselves before listing the kit, so the harvest window and ~80–120 g yield above come from real runs, not guesswork.
