Some Hydroponic kits include the light units also where as in others the lights have to be ordered separately. If the lights are to be ordered separately then ensure that the lighting purchased is sufficient and that the lights do not generate heat. Also the lights should be placed at the proper distance from the plants. Also all the plants should be receiving a balanced light on all sides.
