You want a 12-pod hydroponics system that lets you grow herbs, vegetables, or flowers indoors without soil or sunlight. Both Ivation options here are open-box, white, indoor units built around the same 12-pod idea, but they differ in price and in the details their listings call out. Here's how to decide between the IVAGHG5 and the IVAHG20.
Quick Verdict
If you want the listing that spells out more of the kit's components, go with the IVAGHG5 at $42.66. If you'd rather save $5.02 and are comfortable with a more general listing, the IVAHG20 at $37.64 is the budget pick. Both are open-box Ivation 12-pod systems, so your choice comes down to how much the extra component details matter to you.

Where Each Product Wins
The Ivation 12-Pod Hydroponics Growing System, Indoor Greenhouse with Grow Light (IVAGHG5) wins if you want a listing that explicitly names the kit's parts: an adjustable LED lamp, bamboo planters, a water pump, and seedling covers. Those details are right there in the description, so you know what to expect before you open the box.
The Ivation 12-Pod Hydroponics Growing System Indoor Greenhouse Box with Grow Light (IVAHG20) wins on price. It's listed at $37.64, which is $5.02 less than the IVAGHG5. If budget is your first concern and you're okay with a shorter list of described components, this is the one to buy.
Product Notes
Ivation 12-Pod Hydroponics Growing System, Indoor Greenhouse with Grow Light
This model (IVAGHG5) is listed at $42.66 and comes in open-box condition. Its description calls out a hydroponic germination system with an adjustable LED lamp, bamboo planters, a water pump, and seedling covers. That's a helpful level of detail if you want to know what's included ahead of time. The description also notes that it works for plants, herbs, vegetables, flowers, and fruits, and that no soil, sunlight, or gardening tools are required. On the downside, this is the higher-priced of the two open-box units, and it carries a California Prop 65 warning as many similar grow systems do.
Ivation 12-Pod Hydroponics Growing System Indoor Greenhouse Box with Grow Light
This model (IVAHG20) is listed at $37.64, making it the more budget-friendly open-box option. It's also a 12-pod indoor greenhouse with a grow light, and the description highlights the same general benefits: easy for novice and experienced gardeners, suitable for vegetables, herbs, fruits, and more, with no soil or sunlight required. The tradeoff is that the listing doesn't itemize components the way the IVAGHG5 listing does, so if you want the specific mention of bamboo planters or a water pump, the more expensive model gives you that clarity. Both models share the same white color, indoor designation, and 1-year limited warranty.
Final Choice by Use Case
- Choose the IVAGHG5 if you want the listing to confirm the adjustable LED lamp, bamboo planters, water pump, and seedling covers, and you're fine paying $42.66.
- Choose the IVAHG20 if you want the lower listed price of $37.64 and don't need the description to spell out each component.
Either way, you're looking at an open-box, white, indoor 12-pod growing system from Ivation. The real decision is whether the extra $5.02 is worth the more detailed component list on the IVAGHG5.
