What do you need to prepare for indoor cannabis cultivation?

Today we will talk about this topic to give you a comprehensive understanding of indoor cannabis cultivation. Cannabis cultivation seems simple, but in fact, many factors need to be considered, and every detail cannot be sloppy.

1. What is indoor cultivation?

Indoor grow


Indoor cultivation is to cultivate plants in a completely controlled environment (such as a growing tent, a room dedicated to growing indoors, etc.).


This means that you need to use lighting equipment, temperature and humidity equipment, and ventilation equipment to provide an optimal growth environment for plants. Compared with outdoor cultivation, indoor cultivation is not affected by the external climate and can achieve year-round production. You can plant whenever you want.

2. How much can you harvest indoors?

As long as you reasonably match the growing tent, lighting equipment and ventilation system, you can grow a big harvest indoors.


The final profit is determined by a bunch of factors: the size of the space, the intensity of light and its spectrum, the variety of cannabis, the gene of the seed, the quality of the soil, the quality of the fertilizer, the temperature, the humidity, and the comprehensive results of various potential pressures.


Grasp the three key points - enough light, optimal nutrition and suitable climate, and basically your harvest should not be bad!

3. What equipment do you need for indoor cultivation?

1) Grow tent or cultivation room

At first, you need to have a suitable growing space.

Which one is better for you, a grow tent or a indoor grow room?


Grow tents are a good choice, especially for beginners, as they provide an ideal growing environment for plants. And normally the space is not big, it is easy to control the environment for green hands. TheOneGrow provides different sizes grow tents with all necessary accessories. And if you have an unused room, you can also transform it into a grow room.

2) Lighting

Light is the lifeblood of plant growth. How can plants grow without sunlight?

LED grow lights are the first choice for indoor cultivation because they can simulate natural light and provide full spectrum lighting.


TheOneGrow provides cannabis plant growth lights from 200W-1600W, covering the growth lights required for the entire stage from seedlings to flowering, and can support customized services.

3) Ventilation system

Next, you have to prepare a ventilation system, such as fans or other equipment.


Air circulation can regulate temperature and humidity, provide fresh air, and prevent the growth of mold and pests.

4) Thermohygrometer

A thermohygrometer is also indispensable.


It monitors environmental conditions in real time to ensure that the temperature and humidity are always ideal. The ideal temperature range is 21-27 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is between 40-60%.

5) Soil and fertilizer

If you are planting in soil, you can choose a soil with good air permeability and strong drainage, such as a mixture of peat moss, perlite and vermiculite. If you prefer soilless cultivation, you can consider using coconut bricks or rock wool.


In terms of fertilizer, you need to provide appropriate nutrients for the different growth stages of the cannabis plant. For example, high nitrogen fertilizer is needed during the vegging period, and high phosphorus fertilizer is needed during the flowering period.

6) High-quality cannabis seeds

Finally, and most importantly, choosing high-quality, strong and easy-to-grow feminized high-quality genetic seeds can greatly improve your planting success rate and yield.


TheOneGrow is a leading manufacturer of LED grow lights and related products for cannabis cultivation, vertical farming, greenhouses and tissue culture, with factory in China and warehouses in South Africa, United States, Canada and Europe.

HPS lights are ideal for the flowering stage but consume more energy and produce high heat. Fluorescent lights are best for small plants and seedlings. Leafy greens need 12-16 hours of light, succulents require 4 hours of strong light, and cannabis thrives under full-spectrum LED lights for all growth stages.
