Growing plants indoors has been practiced for years but is growing more popular in recent years due to changes in multiple state laws regarding the legal status of cannabis. Many plants, including cannabis, can be grown indoors in a space dedicated for that purpose. In order to successfully grow plants inside your home, you’ll need the right tools to get started. The purpose of this article is to provide a basic overview of the things you’ll need to grow plants inside your home.

• Indoor Grow Room: The first thing you will need to grow plants inside your home is something known as a full dedicated grow room. This is a room located either inside your home or close to your home that is used for the express purpose of growing plants. You will need to build a grow room because plants need their own space to grow to successfully thrive. If you try to grow plants in an area of the home used for other purposes, like the living room or a bedroom, the plants will be in danger of being damaged or destroyed by people or items coming or going each day. There can be large grow rooms or small grow rooms, it all depends on how many plants you are attempting to grow.
• Grow Pods: Another thing you will need to grow plants inside your home are grow pods. Grow pods are portable, enclosed growing areas that can shelter plants in an environment calibrated to encourage ideal growing conditions. These grow pods can come in a number of sizes, and can be stacked next to one another if you’re wanting to grow multiple plants at once.
• Powerful Lights: Another item you will need to grow plants inside your home, particularly if you’re not using grow pods, are powerful lights. While grow pods come with their own LED lights to provide adequate lighting to help plants grow, if you’re not using those systems, you’ll need lighting to encourage the plants to grow. Plants need wavelengths between 400 and 700 nanometers for photosynthesis to occur. You will need lights that operate at these wavelengths if you are going the traditional hydroponic route of growing plants indoors. Hydroponics can be less neat than using grow pods, but it is also an effective method of growing plants indoors if that’s the route you choose to go.

In conclusion, while there are more materials you will need to fully set up growing plants inside your home, these three items fulfill your most basic needs. These include having a dedicated grow room that is either inside your home, or right next to your home, like in a shed for example. You will also need to use grow pods, mechanisms designed to grow plants in a specially created environment. And, if you choose to go a more traditional route, you will also need powerful lights to spark photosynthesis in the plants you are trying to grow. Using these items will definitely put you on the right path to growing plants inside your home.
