Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your Tower Garden LED Grow Lights
How to Set Up Your Tower Garden® LED Grow Lights 🌿💡
Growing indoors with your Tower Garden® just got easier! With the Tower Garden® LED Grow Lights Kit, you can enjoy fresh herbs, leafy greens, and more year-round — no matter the season. Below, we’ll walk you through how to set up your lights step-by-step so you can start growing right away.
Step 1: Remove the Lid 🔌
Before anything else, unplug your Tower Garden®. Then carefully remove the shower cap lid from the top. This is where the grow light unit will sit.
Step 2: Insert the Unit 🌱
Take the main unit out of its packaging and place it into the Tower Garden® shower cap. Be sure it’s inserted all the way down to avoid leaks.
Step 3: Attach the LED Lamps 💡
Now it’s time to assemble the lamps.
-
Connect the wire terminals together.
-
Insert the base into the lamp and snap them together (don’t force it — if it doesn’t fit easily, rotate the lamp 180°).
-
Make sure the light fixtures are facing inward toward your Tower Garden®.
Step 4: Adjust the Fixtures 🔧
Each lamp is flexible, so bend and position them so they’re evenly spaced and at the same distance from your plants. Keep them close — about 6 inches from the top of your crops is ideal — but not so close that leaves touch the bulbs.
Step 5: Organize the Power Cord 🔌
Trim conduit/cord organizer to fit, if necessary. Place plug cord inside conduit/cord organizer. Peel off the adhesive backing backing from the plastic conduit/cord organizer. Attach to the Tower Garden® (directly below the power cord exit). Plug the cord into an outlet. Adjust the timer to the suggested 14-18 hours ON and 6-10 hours OFF.
Step 6: Set the Timer ⏲
This is a 24-hour timer with 15-minute interval settings.
- Rotate the dial clockwise, making the arrow point to the current time. e.g.: If it is 9:00am currently, rotate the dial to make the arrow point to 9:00 (see figure 1).
- Push the segments outward for the times the lights should be ON. Each segment represents 15 minutes (see figure 2). Adjust the timer to the suggested 14-18 hours ON and 6-10 hours OFF.
- Plug the Grow Lights into the wall outlet.
- The Grow Lights will keep the same program every day unless changed.
- In case of power failure, remember to adjust the dial to the current time.
Safety Tips ⚠️
-
For indoor use only.
-
Always unplug before moving or adjusting parts.
-
Keep your growing area well-ventilated and under 95ºF (35ºC).
-
Avoid water contact with the light fixtures.
Final Thoughts 🌿✨
That’s it — your Tower Garden® LED Grow Lights are ready to power your indoor garden! With the right setup, you can grow herbs, lettuce, and leafy greens year-round.
