Supplemental Light
If you are just looking to add supplemental light to a plant that happens to already be receiving sunlight, then there is not much work you need to do. For example, if a plant is situated near a window, but during winter it does not receive enough light. In this case adding a LED grow light can greatly benefit the plant. All you need to do is set up, plug it in, and turn on the light as needed. There is no need for any other equipment that other grow lights require.
Main Light Source
If you are a more serious grower, then you know the benefit of sectioning off an entire room just for growing. It is easier to regulate growing conditions and keep the area sterile. That way disease and bacteria cannot reach your crop. Here are some materials you should consider in setting up an ideal grow room.
Grow Tents
These tents are Mylar lined so almost all of the light is reflected off the walls and gets absorbed by the plant. When lights are off it is completely dark inside. This is good for forcing blooming stages. This is one of the best modern solutions for serious indoor growing. Click for Details
Mylar
If a grow tent isn’t an option then you will want to at least invest in some Mylar. Try to seal off a small room or section of a room from light. Then cover the walls with Mylar sheeting. This will help you attain the maximum benefit from your lighting. Click for Details
Clay Aggregate
Clay aggregate is one the best growing mediums to use in place of soil. The pH is close to neutral, it is porous, and it is easy to clean. You can start seedlings, propagate, or grow full sized plants in it. Simply fill a container and stick your plant in. Click for Details
Squirrel Cage Fan
A squirrel cage fan is the best way to ventilate the air in your grow room. You can get other devices to program it to run once the humidity or temperature if your grow room reaches a certain point. The exhaust can be directed out through a hose anywhere you want. Click for Details
Temperature and Humidity Monitor
Temperature and humidity are two important factors in your growing environment. Certain plants like certain ranges for both. You can easily monitor and control the levels of these climate conditions with this handy device. Click for Details
