A grow tent is a primary necessity if you’re planning on growing cannabis or marijuana. It’s simply a private space for your plants to develop as they would in their natural environment. These tents are made out of durable, reflective materials which, when combined with proper light and nutrients, allow your plants to photosynthesize effectively.

Furthermore, these tents are portable and convenient. As they’re lightweight, you can easily carry and move them around the house when you need to. Similarly, there are foldable tents available for those of you who wish to relocate frequently.

Besides that, grow tents keep out the unpleasant aspects of indoor gardening from entering your personal living space. These include creepy crawlies and bad odor. Also, you can optimize the energy usage for your plants and regulate your monthly bills as well. Needless to say, a grow tent is an essential part of your indoor grow room setup if you want to optimize your yield to best possible.

Next, you will need seed starters or seed plugs to help your plants germinate. While you might not need these if you’re planting marijuana, seed starters are the best way to germinate cannabis plants.

Mainly, these are small peat moss lumps in which you can add your seeds. There’s a hole provided that you can cover up after you’ve sown the seeds and add water. This moss lump creates an ideal water and soil ratio for your seeds to germinate quickly.

After you see your seed sprouting up, all you have to do is transfer these seedlings to larger pots. The seed starters simply boost growth in your seeds, which is great for people who desire immediate results. If you can’t afford these plugs, you can place your seeds directly in the soil or a wet paper towel, but the results won’t be the same. It’s a good investment considering you will be saving a lot of expenses on seeds, as none of them will go to waste when planted in seed plugs.

Whether you use pots and containers depends on your method of growing. If you’re growing your plants in soil, which is a great beginning practice for amateurs, you should get some good quality containers. Small containers will work for you initially as your plant germinates and sprouts. However, you will need large pots up to 5 gallons once your plants start to grow up.

Primarily, fabric containers are favored for
indoor grow rooms. They have porous walls, which create a breathable condition
for your soil. Also, any excess moisture will get expelled through the membrane
immediately. Make sure to install a spill tray beneath your containers to
manage leakage and water runoff.

Now, you have to put the ‘photo’ in the photosynthesis. Bright and consistent grow lights are the basic food source for your plants. You should ideally go for full spectrum grow lights to help recreate the natural growing environment. The best lighting system will optimize your energy use and maximize plant growth, while an inefficient setup might end up ruining your harvest.

Normally, cannabis or marijuana need at least 32w per square meter to prosper. This means if you’re growing one to three plants in your grow room, you’ll need a full spectrum LED light of almost 64-64w.

Even though LED lights are the most effective, you can also use fluorescent lights according to your budget.

Moreover, LED lights tend to produce a lot of heat in their running process. You will need to install mechanisms to cool the temperature down, which will be further discussed in detail.

Timers are mainly used to keep you at ease when maintaining a proper grow room. It regulates the natural day and night cycles for your plants so that they can maintain their original environment indoors as well.

You simply have to plug the timer into your light source, then, into an energy source. According to the passing hours, the timer brightens and dims the lights to create the natural effect of day and night. Make sure to go with a good quality timer that can handle high wattages.

If you don’t wish to incorporate a timer in your set up, you will have to manually operate the lighting conditions inside the grow room. That’s completely fine as you can always invest in a timer as your garden prospers.

Another basic addition to your list of cannabis and marijuana growing supplies are proper nutrients. Without nutrients, your plants will lack proper quality and THC concentration. Also, these are not a one time buy. You will need different kinds of nutrients to nurture your plants at each phase of growth.

To facilitate this variety, companies offer complete packages for marijuana and cannabis growth. This package includes all the essential nutrients you need from rooting, sprouting, and mature growth. If you use them in correct proportions, your final result will be more eye-pleasing and tastier than if you use nutrients partially or none at all.

You don’t want to forget your safety while buying the best products for your plants! Full-spectrum high-density lights can be hazardous to your eyesight. Also, you might need to use colored lights for growing purposes, which distort your vision while you’re observing your plants.

Therefore, grow room protective glasses are specially designed to keep obstructions away from your vision. You can easily make out pests and deformities in your plants wearing these glasses. Besides that, some glasses provide 100% UV protection as well.

Let’s face it, nobody can be an expert on every aspect of plant growth. Luckily, there are instruments available to regulate the perfect environment in your grow room. It’s hard to identify the ideal level of humidity and temperature inside a grow tent, but it can be done easily using a thermo-hygrometer.

Furthermore, these devices have an LCD screen which displays the changes in temperature. You can even make it out from outside the tent. This makes it easier for you to observe and manage any serious environment issues at once.

Carbon filters are the air fresheners to your grow rooms. Mainly, they work to remove any impurities in the environment inside the tent. Eventually, they help control bad odor and air pollution outside the tent.

Besides that, you might need to install inline fans to help the filters complete their job. These fans will suck the impure air that’s filtered out and carry it through their ducts out from your desired ventilation area. This will ensure the air outside and inside your grow room remains fresh and uncontaminated.

As mentioned before, you will need proper ventilation inside you grow room to regulate the heat produced from the light sources. Exhaust fans are, therefore, an essential part of your setup. Their circulating operation not only keeps the temperature under control but helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew in your vegetation as well.

Besides, your plants are used to facing slight breezes and winds in their natural habitat. The ventilation helps recreate that, which, in turn, strengthens the stems and branches on your cannabis and marijuana.

Even if you have proper nutrients and water levels in your plants, that’s not enough. You need to make sure the PH level in your soil remains ideal for the weed to grow well. Otherwise, if the PH level deviates from the required level, your plant might not absorb the nutrients properly.

The best PH for plants growing in soil is about 6.0, while the level lies between 5.5 and 6.5 for hydroponics systems. Moreover, PH meters are easy to use. Simply dig them inside your soil or water to get a reading of the PH level.

• Grow Room Controller
• CO2 regulator
• Grow Light Mover
• Bud trimmer machine
• Indoor hydroponic system

Now that you’ve gone through the complete shopping list to set up an indoor grow room, you’re ready to go out and make the purchase. Right? Let’s face it, picking out the perfect marijuana growing equipment or cannabis growing equipment from a wide range of varieties can be difficult.

However, don’t worry! Here we’ve listed the details you need to consider before buying any of the above products.

First, you have to decide how much space you’re working with. It’s up to you to grow your plants in a grow tent, or turn your old closet, or a whole extra room into a grow room. However, the number of extra grow equipment you need depends on the area you want to cover.

If you are turning a room from your home into a weed haven, you’ll have to get it ready, which means additional equipment. You will have to cover the walls with reflective paper so that the light stays in. Similarly, you will have to drill holes and make room for vents and fans on the walls as well. This means lots of work.

You’ll have an easier set up if you just buy a grow tent. They vary in size, so you can choose one according to the number of plants you plan to grow. Also, you can set it up anywhere in your house, and even relocate.

Also, you need to know the size of your grow tent to calculate the amount of light you need. Not all corners of the grow room will need to be flooded with LED light. Simply keep the size in mind when purchasing your lights to make sure there are enough for your plants’ growth.

Your plants can’t strive without plenty of light to generate their food resources. For robust growth, your plants need the ideal, well-lit environment that nature has to offer. You need to think about two aspects, intensity, and spectrum while purchasing your lights.

However, that does not mean you should buy the most intense, high spectrum light available. Instead, you should look for a light which is ideal for the number of plants, and the size of your grow room. Also, you will want to look for lights that use energy efficiently, choosing otherwise will hike your electricity bills up.

Furthermore, you can choose from fluorescent, HID, and LED lights. LED lights provide a great spectrum but give out lots of heat during operation. Also, they are expensive as well, so along with the heat control expenses, LED lights will cost you a lot. Fluorescent and HID lights produce a good yield with relatively fewer expenses, which make them a great option for beginners.

Next, airflow maintenance is an essential aspect of an ideal grow room environment. We’ve mentioned the use of exhaust fans and
inline fans earlier, but which ones do you buy and where should you install them in your grow room?

According to the size of your room, you should have enough ventilation to push out stale air to keep the environment fresh. This encourages faster growth and prevents abnormalities, such as clogged stoma. Try to find rotating or oscillating fans. These make sure the air circulates the room, which helps regulate the humidity and temperature effectively.

Moreover, you should fit the oscillating fans at both the bottom and top of your grow room. That’s because cool air tends to sink, so these fans work to spread the cool air around the room.

Similarly, the exhaust fans which suck the hot and impure ait out should be attached at the top with vents. Hot air rises, therefore, it’s easier for the fans to pull out the heat and regulate the temperature. Also, make sure that the outlet of your vents open into another room away from your grow room to make sure your ventilation does not become ineffective.
