When you decide to plant and cultivate your medicinal plants within a grow room, you no longer need to worry about an early frost, regional pests, or a snoopy neighbour. You will, however, need to plan out your dedicated growing area and be prepared for some extra costs and prep time.
The first consideration is space, and the best way to figure out how much of it you’ll need is to determine how many medicinal plants you’re going to grow. A grow room can be as small as one square metre, and if you plan to grow just one or two plants you can probably outfit a closet or cupboard. For a larger harvest, or to try out various medicinal palnts strains, you will need at least part of a room.
Before finalizing the placement of your grow room (we’ll call the area, however large, your grow “room” to avoid confusion), you’ll want to consider a few important things.
- Is there carpet in the area you’ve chosen? If so, you’ll need to construct a floor for your grow room, in addition to the wall and ceiling setup, to avoid mold and mess. If there happens to be linoleum or another waterproof material below the carpet, you can always tear up the top layer, but wood is problematic, too. Remember, you’ll be working with a lot of dirt and water.
- The grow room should be nearby water and electricity. You can set up extension cords and run hoses all over your house, but it’s more time- and cost-efficient – not to mention less cluttered – to find a space that offers easy access.
- A single electrical outlet probably won’t be enough. Make sure the electricity to which you have access can handle the large amounts you’ll need for lights, fans, pumps, a humidifier, an air conditioner, and so on. Do your research or enlist a friend who knows what they’re doing before you begin rewiring your home!
- Ventilation is another necessity. Ideally, your grow room will be situated against at least one outside wall. This makes pumping out the used air much easier.
Saving Time: Should I Use a Grow Tent?
If you don’t have a specialized spot for a small growing area, but you do have a large empty room, you may want to consider housing your medicinal plants in a grow tent.
A grow tent is exactly what it sounds like: a tent that serves as a grow room. Designed with reflective walls, waterproof floors, ventilation and electrical openings, and light-proof construction, grow tents can be purchased in a variety of sizes from two feet square to more than nine feet square.
Like any other purchase, always do your homework. Only buy a tent intended specifically for growing plants indoors, and one that is well-made and fireproof. Make sure the corners and zippers are strong, as they’ll be getting a lot of use. Some helpful – but not essential – additional qualities to look out for: observation windows for viewing without entering the grow room, a removable floor for simple cleanup, and pockets or other storage spaces along the walls inside.
