Six easy steps to setting up your indoor cannabis grow

Choose Your Grow Space

climate-controlled environment

Choose Your Grow Space

Your grow space can be as simple as a closet or as advanced as a dedicated grow tent or room. Look for areas that are:

Light-proof and secure
Easy to ventilate
Accessible for watering and plant care

A small 2'x2' tent is perfect for beginners, while larger tents work best for multiple plants.

Set up lighting

Choose Your Grow Space

Light is crucial for plant growth and yield. Popular indoor lighting options include:

LED Grow Lights: Energy-efficient and produce less heat
HID Lights (HPS/MH): Traditional option with high yields
Fluorescent (T5s): Good for seedlings and clones

climate-controlled environment

Cannabis loves a specific climate. Aim for:

Temperature: 70-85°F (day), 58-70°F (night)

Humidity:

Seedlings: 65-70%
Vegetative: 50-60%
Flowering: 40-50%

Airflow: Use oscillating fans to mimic natural wind

Ventilation: Inline fans and carbon filters keep fresh air circulating and odors at bay

Choose between:

Soil: Beginner-friendly and forgiving
Coco Coir: Fast growth and good control over nutrients
Hydroponics: High yields and fast growth, but require experience

Each option has pros and cons, so pick the one that fits your skill level and budget.

choose the right strains

start growing & monitor plants

Not every strain thrives in every environment. For indoor grows, consider strains known for:

Compact size and mold resistance
High yields and easy training
Fast flowering times (autoflowers are a great option)

Popular indoor strains include Northern Lights, Blue Dream, and autoflowering varieties like White Widow Auto.

start growing & monitor plants

Finally, germinate your seeds and monitor your plants closely:

Keep a grow journal with notes on feeding, watering, and lighting
Adjust environmental settings as needed
Watch for signs of pests or nutrient imbalances

Use a damp paper towel or root cubes.

2. Seedling Stage (2-3 weeks)

Delicate phase. Use low-intensity lighting and high humidity.

3. Vegetative Stage (3-8 weeks)

Increase lighting to 18-24 hours/day. Use nutrients high in nitrogen.

4. flowering stage (8-12 weeks)

Switch to 12/12 light cycle. Use bloom nutrients high in phosphorus and potassium.

5. Harvest and Cure

When trichomes turn milky/cloudy and pistils darken, it's time to cut, dry (7-14 days), and cure in jars (2+ weeks) for the best flavor and potency.
