A self-watering and self-lighting hydroponic system is disclosed for optimal plant growth. The apparatus comprises of a reservoir that contains nutrient-rich aqueous solution, a structure that incorporates plant pods, a light system to optimally grow plants at desired wavelengths, and a power source. The growing medium and container may be self-standing or attached to another container in a modular fashion. A tube for transporting nutrient rich solution is connected to a reservoir in the base of the apparatus. The specified flow rate of the solution may be dictated by manual or app driven technology. The tube is connected to an elevated emitter and positioned so the solution disperses evenly throughout the system.
