Essential indoor growing equipment includes: a grow tent, LED grow light, ventilation fan with carbon filter, nutrients, growing medium (soil or coco), fabric pots, pH meter, and a timer. Optional upgrades include environmental controllers and dehumidifiers.

Question 3

What size grow tent should I get for my first grow?

For beginners, a 2x2 or 2x4 grow tent is ideal. A 2x2 tent fits 1-2 plants and costs less to equip, while a 2x4 tent handles 2-4 plants with more yield potential. Both sizes are manageable for first-time growers.

Monthly electricity costs range from $15-25 for a small 2x2 setup with 100W light to $40-60 for a 4x4 tent with 400W+ lighting. Costs vary based on your local electricity rates and light schedule (18 hours during veg, 12 hours during flower).
