Abstract
An indoor gardening appliance includes a liner defining a grow chamber and a grow module rotatably mounted within the grow chamber to divide the grow chamber into a plurality of grow chambers. A lighting system includes a first lighting assembly positioned within the liner adjacent a first grow chamber and a second lighting assembly positioned within the liner adjacent a second grow chamber. Each of these lighting assemblies may include different types of grow lighting, ultraviolet lighting, or other light sources that may be independently controlled to generate light in different colors, wavelengths, and intensities as needed to facilitate improved plant growth.
