What herbs grow best indoors?

Basil, mint, parsley, cilantro, and chives thrive indoors. Basil grows fastest (harvest in 4-6 weeks). Mint is bulletproof. Parsley is slow but productive. Avoid rosemary and thyme indoors - they prefer outdoor conditions.

Do herbs need grow lights?

Yes, window light is often insufficient, especially in winter. Herbs need 12-16 hours of light daily. A simple $50-80 LED grow light transforms results. Without proper light, herbs get leggy and flavorless.

Is hydroponic herb growing worth it?

Absolutely. Grocery store basil costs $3-4 and lasts 3 days. One hydroponic basil plant produces $25+ worth of leaves over 3 months. Initial setup costs $80-150, pays for itself in saved grocery bills within 2-3 months.
