How to Grow Weed at Home: Supplies Checklist: Are You Ready to Start Growing?

Getting Started Growing Cannabis Indoors

Approximately 70% of the U.S. population consumes cannabis at least on occasion, but for many people, cannabis is far more than a plant they enjoy when it’s around.

Instead, cannabis is a way of life, a religion, and an escape from the sometimes harsh realities of life, whether it is aches and pains or sadness interfering with your well-being. Enthusiasts who understand the sheer magnitude of cannabis oftentimes find the cultivation process one that heightens their experience. This God-given plant has powers unbeknownst to some, but for the true cannabis enthusiasts, its amazing qualities are undeniable. Growing weed indoors offers the perfect opportunity to take your cannabis love to the next level.

Now that marijuana has become a hot topic around the country, many of the stigmas that once surrounded the plant are gone and more people are learning and accepting that it is a beneficial plant and a far cry short of the Class I narcotic the federal government has it labeled as. Currency eight states allow usage and cultivation of marijuana for recreational use, while more than 40 have legalized cannabis use and cultivation for medicinal purposes. Marijuana research is being conducted at universities, elite members of our community are showing their support, and advancements are being made every single day. Nonetheless, it is a crime to grow marijuana without a medical red card (How to apply for medical marijuana card?) if you don’t reside in a legal state.

Growing marijuana indoors alleviates the worry. Many people are growing cannabis indoors as we speak, producing large, beautiful, plants filled with those delightful buds that you so greatly appreciate. If you’re ready to join the trend, learning how to grow is the first step. Growing marijuana indoors isn’t as difficult as some people would assume. In fact, it takes just 10 simple, easy steps to grow!

What You’ll Need to Monitor During Growing

Growing marijuana indoors allows you to keep an eye on the entire growth process. Marijuana is a plant that requires lots of attention if you want it to yield powerful, potent results, though the overall process is fairly simple once you get the swing of things. Checking in on your plants three or four times per day can help yield the best results, especially for the beginning grower.

It is important to monitor the amount of air and light that the plant receives when growing marijuana indoors. Marijuana is a native outdoor plant and thrives when pristine conditions are noted. Thus, proper air flow, proper light, and the right amount of moisture are key ingredients to a successful grow.

Flowering plants like marijuana produce fruits only once per year during the fall season. They’re fruitful during this cooler period after receiving sunlight and nutrients during the warmer months. It’s called a photosynthesis period and is a process that you’ll need to reproduce when growing marijuana indoors. To do this, the plants need up to 16-hours of light during the seedling stage and approximately 12-hours during the flowering process.

The photosynthesis also requires proper air be delivered to the plant. All plants need air to survive, including the cannabis plant. A steady stream of airflow in the grow room is essential to a healthy marijuana plant. Marijuana plants thrive in temperatures ranging from 70 F to 85 F; an exhaust fan can help you maintain these temperatures. Since some strains of the marijuana plant prefer lower temperatures while others thrive when temperatures are closer to the highest temperature point, it is important to properly educate yourself on the preferences of the seedling before you begin.

Supplies Checklist: Are You Ready to Start Growing?

An assortment of supplies is necessary to grow weed indoors. While the list of supplies needed to grow indoors is longer than that for outdoor growers, it is simple to acquire the items nonetheless. Be sure to carefully select all of the items you’ll use in your grow operation. Quality products make a considerable difference in the ease of growing and the outcome of the buds that you produce.

Supplies needed to start growing cannabis:

  • Space: Marijuana is greedy so to say in that it needs its own personal space to thrive. Grow tents are available for a couple hundred dollars and take some of the stress off of growing. However, there are a plethora of additional areas in the home perfect for growing. Carefully research the choices before deciding where to grow.
  • Seeds: Indica, Sativa, or hybrid, the choice is yours. Obviously, without seeds, growing marijuana won’t happen. Review the various seed banks if you want to purchase seeds online or visit the local dispensary to browse the selection.
  • Cloned Plant: If you’ve opted to grow marijuana indoors using a cloned plant, choose your plant carefully.
  • Grow Lights: Grow lights are the most expensive and most important supply that you need to grow cannabis.
  • Fertilizer: Avoid germinate-your-seeds
  • Grow Medium: Soil and soilless (hydroponics) mediums are available
  • Mason Jars: Quart-sized provide optimal results
  • Fan: Cannabis plants need airflow to reproduce. A good quality fan can create better yields.
  • Paper Towels
  • Paper Plates

It Is beneficial to ask others for their product recommendations before making a major investment. Local growers always have the best information to offer. There is also an abundance of information available online. When you know the best products for your money, it is much easier to get the results that you want.

Electricity Use

Small-scale growers shouldn’t notice a considerable difference in their electricity usage and costs each month, although a minimal rate and usage increase is only expected. Larger grow operations using lamps and fans may add several hundred dollars to the electricity costs over the course of the four-month growth period. Nonetheless, most growers agree that it is still cheaper to grow their own marijuana than it costs to purchase from the local dispensary or weed man, not to mention far more enjoyable.

There are many factors that determine how cannabis cultivation affects your electricity usage. Your location is a primary factor. Electricity rates vary from one city, state, and town to the next, The number of plants that you’re growing also impacts the electrical usage, as does the supplies that you choose. Higher-quality grow lights and fans (to learn more about filters and fans, click here) are usually more energy-efficient and produce less energy.

Setup Costs

Growing weed indoors is more expensive than an outdoor grow since more supplies are needed. The actual amount of money that it takes to get started considerably varies, however, and is usually affected by your actual desire for the grow operation. Some growers spend as little as $100 to get started while others spend $1500 or more without blinking.

If you plan to purchase a fan & filter, grow lights, growing tent etc. for your indoor grow, expect to spend a few hundred dollars.  These initial costs subside considerably so you won’t endure so much expense the second and subsequent grows. Spending more money on high-quality lamps, lights, bulbs, and nutritional supplies ensures your operation is a true success. Nonetheless, beginners have options if money is of concern.

Conclusion

Gather your supplies, choose your grow area, and let the fun begin! Growing cannabis indoors is exciting, fun, and a rewarding experience that anyone with a desire to grow can enjoy. First-time growers may find some unease in the process, but as with most things, time and experience dwindle the nervousness. Do not allow fear to hold you back from growing marijuana. Everyone starts out here and many are now successful growers. You don’t need a green thumb or years of gardening experience to grow weed indoors.  Follow the 10 steps outlined here and in a few short months, you’ll have an amazing product that you can brag and boast about!
