Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: March 28, 2026

The Fresh Root participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain product links on this site and make a purchase, The Fresh Root may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you.

How This Works

Some of the links on The Fresh Root are "affiliate links." When you click an affiliate link and purchase a product, the retailer pays The Fresh Root a small percentage of the sale price as a referral fee.

Common affiliate programs we participate in include:

• Amazon Associates — The Fresh Root is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
• Other hydroponic retailers and product manufacturers where we have direct affiliate agreements.

How This Affects Our Recommendations

We only recommend products that we believe are genuinely useful for home growers. Our goal is to provide accurate, helpful information — not to push you toward products that earn us the highest commission.

That said, you should know:

• We may earn a commission if you purchase through our links
• We may sometimes prioritize products where affiliate programs are available when multiple products are equally good
• Affiliate revenue helps us keep The Fresh Root free and updated

We do not accept payment to write positive reviews or recommendations. Our editorial opinions are our own.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines for endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). When a post contains affiliate links, we disclose this with a notice at the top of the article.
