I'am looking to buy one of these scopes. Meade EXT-90PE, EXT-105PE,
EXT-125PE. As the aperture size goes up, so does the price. I want to be able to see the plants, not dots. Which one will do the job.

Hi

Telescope size in terms of lens/mirror diameter is one of the prime factors in telescope performance. The larger the diameter of the scope, all else being equal, the fainter the objects that can be seen and thus the more objects that can be seen. Larger scopes also handle higher magnifications better than smaller scopes. If you want the the most performance, go with the 125.
