Getting organized is a big part of any grow room operation. No matter if your grow room is large or small, having a grow room supplies checklist for reference is a useful tool. Here is a guide to the equipment you will need to make your indoor grow a success.
Basic Grow Room Supplies
The old saying says that well-begun is half-done. Some of the following items may seem like common sense, but you might be surprised at how many of them you forget.
Grow Trays
Grow plugs are one of the best ways to start your seedlings. A grow tray will allow you to easily create grow plugs that are compact and have a dense root system.
Plant Nutrients and Starting Supplies
Your grow room supplies should always include the proper nutrients. It is important to get your plants off to the best start, and that means giving them all the help you can.
Nursery Pots and Smart Pots
You want to have your larger pots on hand for transplanting before you begin a grow. Life has a knack for getting in the way. You don’t want to be sitting on a large number of seedlings that need to be moved to larger containers.
Gardening Gloves and Assorted Tools
These are the little things that make an indoor grow much easier, but they are often overlooked. Don’t be afraid to spend a little bit of money to get better growing accessories. This pays off in the long run.
Major Grow Room Supplies
In this category we’ll cover three major pieces of equipment that are essential to your indoor grow. These are the items that will account for the largest portion of you grow room supply budget.
A Grow Tent
A quality grow tent is necessary for small-scale indoor grows that don’t provide for a lot of space. A good grow tent will allow you to maximize the space that you have, and it will also make it much easier for you to install lighting and ventilation.
LED Lighting
Without question, LED lighting for your indoor grow will be one of the major expenses. Just remember that the money you invest in quality lighting at the beginning of your indoor grow experiment will pay off over time. LED grow lights are durable, and they also save you money on electrical costs.
Proper Ventilation
Your indoor grow is going to depend on the movement of air. You will need to acquire a ventilation system that is compatible with your grow tent.
Other Assorted Grow Room Supplies
Here are a few other things that you should consider for your list of grow room supplies.
Work Tables
If you have the space, work tables are indispensable. You should not feel cramped when working with seedlings or plants that need extra attention.
Drying Racks
When the time comes to harvest, a drying rack will be useful if you are conducting a cannabis grow. Many growers like to contain everything in one room if there is space available.
Grow Room Pest Control
Pest can be an issue with indoor grows. You should make sure that you have some basic pest control products on hand to prevent a problem that could destroy your grow.
This list is a sample of the important grow room supplies that you will need. It is by no means comprehensive. Your own grow room situation should dictate a more thorough list, one that you will assemble as you proceed with indoor grows.
