Knowing how to properly set up a grow room is crucial for anyone that wants to achieve a good yield of high-quality cannabis. There are a number of grow room setups, and what works for one grower might not work for another.
Here’s a quick look at grow room setups and a few things that you need to consider before diving in. A little advance preparation will save you time and money in the long run.
Grow Room Considerations
Before you attempt to plant, cultivate, and harvest cannabis indoors, you need to consider multiple aspects of the project. For reference, this also applies to growing any other plant material inside.
First, determine how much space that you have to work with. This has a major impact on grow room setups. Space determines how many plants you can work with, how much lighting you will need, and whether or not you will require a grow tent.
Next, think about water and ventilation. How will you move the air in the grow room to provide a healthy environment and eliminate smell? Have you thought about the flooring in you grow room and what will happen if it gets wet? These are things you must know.
Finally, decide which grow room setups are economically feasible. You should be aware of how much it is going to cost you to grow your cannabis, even if the plants you grow are only for personal consumption.
Options for Grow Rooms
It is best to think in terms of possibilities instead of limitations for an indoor grow. The technology of growing indoors has changed. Smaller systems have been developed, requiring less space for you to produce a good amount of cannabis.
Here’s a look at two common grow room setups and how they may provide the solution that you are looking for.
A Dedicated Grow Room
Having a room that you can devote solely to growing is a nice position to be in. You can make a few simple modifications to the room that will create the environment that your plants need.
A room can be as small as 4′ by 4′, but a larger room means that you will be able to grow more plants. 12′ x 12′ would be idea, but many people have had successful grows in a closet. You can do the same.
When you use a dedicated room you will need to consider installing lighting, and you will also have to provide a source of air. You will probably want to grow your plants in smart pots or something similar. Remember that some self-contained options like the one we are about to discuss may be less expensive to setup.
A Grow Tent
There are many reasons to choose a grow tent for indoor grow room setups. For starters, a grow tent often makes it easier to install lighting and ventilation. It also takes up much less space.
Grow tents are often less expensive to buy that purchasing individual components for a grow room. Also, there is portability to consider. A grow tent can be easily taken down after a grow and stored until you need to use it again.
A grow tent is ideal for grow room setups that are designed to grow four to six plants. Of course, grow tents come in all sizes. Some will handle eight to ten plants or more.
Learning more about grow room setups is an important first step when it comes to growing indoors. This information should be a good starting point for your own research. Do your homework and you’ll have a good harvest!
