Choosing a area grow for the marijuana crop needs to be carefully thought out, this is because it needs to be in an out of the way area such as a basement or attic, and even the closet that will not be used for anything else can be a good spot. Rooms like bedrooms will not make good location for the indoor cannabis crop, because there is too much traffic in the room, and it is not a location where you can with the lights on for 24 hours or even 12 hours.

There are other things that need to be considered when planning the indoor cannabis crop, like company in the house, or a repairman, which would not be to the advantage of the grower for them to see the growing crop. This means if the crop will be located in the basement, and there is a problem with the furnace, or hot water heater it could mean needing a repairman to come into the basement. The grower that is going to use the basement might consider building a room to house their prize marijuana plants that can be shut off from the rest of the basement.

Then there is also the amount of available electrical outlets in the room, because there will need to be lighting, fans, dehumidifiers all that will use electricity. The walls should be painted in a flat white so it is able to reflect the right amount of light to the plants. If painting is not possible, then there are products like Mylar that can be purchased in white that will serve the same purpose for the light refraction. When the growing area is in a room in the house, an attic or a closet, the floor will need to be covered with a high grade plastic that will not become damaged when walked on to stop any water damage to the floor.

Light In The Grow Area
Marijuana plants need sunlight to grow, and when being grown indoors and to supply the lighting the grower has three choices of lighting. The first choice is fluorescent lighting, this is lighting that can be found in many types of stores and that are found in sizes from one foot to six feet. Then there is the metal halide lighting, and this emits lighting that the plants need, and the heat they need for growing vegetation. The third choice is high pressure sodium lighting, this emits as much light as the metal halide lights without the amount of heat that is emitted. With all of these lights ballasts will be needed and they will need to be installed in a way that they can be raised and lowered to position them correctly for the optimum growth of the plants.
