The Equipment

The equipment that is needed for growing marijuana indoor’s is pots, soil, water, a pH testing kit, lighting, ventilation and fertilizer. These are the tools that are needed and they are easy to obtain from gardening stores, hardware stores, nurseries and other places.

When planting there will be several pots needed, first for the seedlings they will require a peat pot or a peat plug, this will only last a short time, then they will need to be transplanted into a pot about 6 inches in size and when they begin to out grow this pot they will be transplanted into a pot the proper size for them to mature.

Watering is one of the most important factors in growing a healthy marijuana plant and distilled water is used especially when the seedlings are young, to ensure they are given water that will not harm them.

The plants will also need fertilizer and this can be the same water soluble fertilizer that is used on houseplants and outdoor gardens. Testing the pH level of the soil should be done prior to fertilizing, marijuana plants grow best when there is a 6 to 7 ph level. It is also possible to manipulate how quickly they grow and if they are a male or female plant.

Lighting is the most important thing for growing marijuana plants, indoors they will need many hours of lighting and this is done using grow lights, florescent lighting, metal halide lighting and high sodium lighting. Each of these lights give off a different amount of watts and they also give off different colors of rays such as red, orange or blue.
