Knowing how you can control the environmental conditions through the use of a grow kit, offers several advantages, the most important being that you’ll grow any plant in an ideal environment, far away from the stress and pressures of the weather-bitten outdoors. Using soil as a growth medium is the most traditional way of cultivating pot plants, yet, in recent years, researchers have found that pot plants are taking in their nutrients only when fully dissolved in water. Several indoor grow kits are not mandatory for starting your how to grow pot adventure. There are things that you should not forget. Don’t take off your list things like grow lights, ventilation or nutrients dispersal grow kits. The lighting grow kit you’re going to use is one of the most important aspects of cultivating and it highly influences the growth rate, quality, and potency of the buds. You can read more on the GrowAce site here. To make sure that you have all the needed grow kits, getting yourself a growing e-book would be a good idea. NFT Tank basic indoor grow kit 1. HPS lamps or HID lights that emit in the red light spectrum. It’s best to use these during the flowering stage. You can use 400 watts for an indoor garden with a smaller space and 600 watts for a bigger space. 2. Oscillating fan. Letting it run for the whole day will provide good ventilation. 3. Timer, so you can control the light periods. 4. NFT tank that comes with a spreader mat and a pump. 5. Rockwool cubes are made from the melting of basaltic rock spinning into thin strands which are then formed into cubes when cooled. 6. A pH tester, so you can test the acidity or alkalinity of the water and nutrient feed solution. 7. Nutrients for maintaining a vigorous and healthy growth of the plants. 8. Phosphoric acid. It acts as a water pH adjuster and nutrient feed solution. It stabilizes the pH at around 5.2 to 6. 9. White plastic or white paint wall covering for the indoor garden. Pot basic indoor grow kit
  1. HPS lamps. Use 600 watts for bigger space and 400 watts for a smaller indoor garden.
  2. Oscillating fan and keep it running for 24 hours.
  3. A 24-hour timer for controlling the light periods.
  4. Pots, trays and growth medium with a mixture of 50% perlite and 50% potting compost
  5. A pH tester for testing the water and nutrient solutions for the plants.
  6. White plastic or white paint to cover the walls of the grow room.
  7. A pH adjuster (ex. phosphoric acid) to maintain the water and nutrient solution pH at around 6.0 to 7.0.
  8. Nutrients for optimal growth.
While growing pot using indoor grow kits, be it pots and NFT tanks, you can also make use of a big syringe, a measuring jug, a measuring bucket, and a pea netting or string to serve as support for the plants. A TDS meter (Total Dissolved Solids meter) is quite pricey, but it is the best to have because you can regularly check the nutrients level present in the feeding solution. Use extractor fans to make sure you are providing proper ventilation, because when growing indoors the room becomes humid.

So, I started a lttile herb garden about three or four months ago, mainly as a lttile project for my toddlers to participate in and never really believed that it would go anywhere, well i just came back after a month vacation and everything looks amazing! But I do have a few question, I planted three different basils and they are almost waist high, do I have to cut them or can I leave them growing at leisure? I prefer fresh herbs in my cooking, so drying them is not ideal. (though I would if the alternative is worse).Also, my peppermint is growing a bit wild, several thick stems have sprouted, stayed close to the ground and surfaced all over the lttile garden, Should I cut these runaways?The sage is a lttile crazy too, big and bushy but kind of all over the place Last question, I swear, I also planted some lemongrass and some scallions (spring onion?), I know these aren’t exactly herbs, so is that going to pose a problem? The lemongrass seems to be thriving, but the scallions look a bit wilted (let’s be honest, very wilted, all of the 3 separate scallions I planted are either bent in half, or completely laying on the ground) I know it’s a million questions, any help is appreciated!!!!I actually live in Londrina, Brazil. It is very hot here and rather dry, although quite a bit of rain in the summer months, the winters are mild here, think Florida, only a couple of weeks in the high 30 s low 40 s range. The soil is considered some of the best in Brazil, very rich with a distinct deep red hue, I am not actually from here, just moved really, but so I’ve heard.
