Indoor gardening can be a rewarding experience for anyone that likes to raise their own plants and vegetables. Today’s technology has made indoor growing a viable alternative when you don’t have the space for an outdoor garden.
The USA Grow Shop has many items that will help you to produce healthy vibrant plants indoors. Here’s a few tips that you should consider for indoor gardening.
Use a Grow Tent
Many people who like to grow indoors prefer a grow tent like the ones you can find in our grow store. There are may advantages to using this set up.
A grow tent allows you to contain all the aspects of your indoor gardening in one compact area. You can find grow tents in many sizes. On average, tents are about 4′ high and 4′ in width. Larger sizes are available.
These tents can be discreetly placed in an area of your home that does not get a lot of traffic, and some people even use them in a large closet. They come ready for you to add lighting and ventilation, and can be set up in a couple of hours.
Choose the Proper Lighting
Using the right lighting for your indoor plants is crucial to their health and growth. LED lighting seems to be the preferred choice for most growers, although other types of growing lights are available.
You want to choose the lighting which offers you the best spectrum, and one that closely replicates the type of light which plants would receive outdoors. Another advantage of LED lighting is that it is less expensive to operate. It also produces less heat.
Choose the Best Space
If you are not using a grow tent, you’ll need to give some thought to the space you are going to dedicate to growing. One of the first things to remember is that you need some type of flooring or flooring protection that is resistant to water.
Placing your plants on plywood or a plastic sheet may be enough. In other cases you may need more protection. Again, this is why a grow tent from the USA Grow Shop is very useful. You don’t have to worry about spillage or run-off when watering.
Discretion is also important to many indoor growers, depending on the plant varieties you are cultivating. You should take the proper measures to keep your grow in an area that does not interfere with the normal traffic in and out of your home.
A little planning is all it takes to make your indoor grow a success. We are always happy to help with any questions that you may have.
