As featured in our guide to the Best Indoor Gardening Systems, the Auk Mini comes with everything you need to get started: coco coir for the four pots, two pump bottles of nutrients, a light bar, and packets of basil and parsley seeds. Fill the reservoir with water and nutrients (instructions are right on the bottle), sprinkle the seeds on top of the coco coir, and you’re good to go.

The $199 price is good on both the white- and black-top versions with cork or oak bases, and it’s available only while supplies last. If you’re thinking of waiting until Black Friday, don’t—because it’s a clearance sale, the deal isn’t likely to last long.
Also on sale is the Auk Mini 1’s Chili and Tomato Kit ($29), which includes pepper and tomato seeds and longer dowels to raise the light bar. If you’re interested in checking out the Auk Mini 2, which introduces multiple improvements like a less-bright yet stronger light and schedule controls via an excellent app, it’s available for $239.
