Excuse our language, but Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance!

When designing your indoor grow space grab as much information as possible before arming yourself with the physical tools to put it into practice. This will make it it so much easier to choose what size grow tent to buy, how much reflective material is required and the most suitable lighting for the task at hand. Adding this to the correct sized fan and filter will also mean you can ensure that all the required components all coordinate well together.

Designing the ideal growing environment is great and it is also essential to understand the needs of the plants that you are planing to grow. A proper understanding of this will help you to plan and prepare for success. Things to consider are the correct pot size for a plant so as to ensure that whilst the roots have sufficient room to grow and flourish you are not pouring excessive nutrients into the pot. As well as balancing your growth costs this will also make it less likely that you run out of nutrients whilst we are closed!

Also research your plant's growth rhythm patterns beforehand so as to get a clear idea of their feeding needs throughout all of the growing stages.

A good growroom slogan is to plan for the worst then expect the best. As with anything, especially where technology is involved, there is always a margin for error. Consider what can occur due to faulty light hangers, worn out ballasts, blown bulbs and from nature's point of view an influx of pests or disease. Accepting that issues can occur will allow you to prepare for and mitigate them beforehand.

A moral of the story is that when you have a plan, success can almost always be guaranteed. So first and foremost, grab a tape measure, measure up your growroom and visit us for a chat!

Best wishes!
