My wife wants a 5 pot herb garden using my new found hydro skills. I'll be using a small 18in wide container as the base. I bought a couple 2' T5 lights but she doesn't want the lights to be that long. So back they go. I'm thinking a 225 LED panel might be just the thing for her. I'm not looking for super growth yields here and she really truly is growing basil, thyme, oregano, that sort of thing, in the kitchen. I expect the plants will get no higher then 8 to 12" at best. Either the 225 panel or I saw several 125w CFL bulbs but I think the foot print is much bigger then the LED panel.

So has anyone ever used one of these 14 watt 225 red/blue LED panels and would it keep your wife's 5 basil plants happy? I'm sort of trying to replicate the Aero Garden I guess. I fucked up and told my wife I could do better then the Aero Garden guys could, so now I sort of have to prove it.
