The best grow room location is in the basement. It’s naturally insulated by the foundation and soil so temperature management is easier. Consistancy is the key, and this is the reason your basement is the best grow room location.

Attics are not always the best grow room location be used but heat buildup can make temperature consistency difficult.

Grow Room Basics
Using two rooms is the best grow room setup for productivity and is scalable. The first room is for vegetative growth, mother plants, and rooting clones. The second room is the flowering room where the crop is harvested.

A two part grow room can best maximize the different light needs of the different growth phases of your crop. vegetative growth responds best to mid day, "cool", blue light. Flowering growth responds best to early morning, "warm", red light. The two rooms will allow you to optimize the different grow lights for plants and their respective growth stages.

The grow room should be about 1/4 the size of the flowering room. It should be enclosed. An enclosed room helps control the growing environment.

Remove everything from the room that doesn't have to do with growing. You need to keep the your grow room very clean. Old drapes, boxes, furniture etc. can harbor fungi or mold.



For the best grow room setop results, paint the walls with a highly reflective white paint or cover the walls with Mylar to maximize light reflection on the plants to improve your growing success.

Constant air circulation and fresh air is necessary. Have at least one fresh air vent in the grow room. An exhaust fan to pull in air is usually adequate. An oscillating fan is good for circulating air when growing indoors.


Growing Tip For the Best Grow Room Setup - When using fans keep the fan in constant motion and not blowing directly on the plants as this can cause wind burn and dehydration.

The larger your grow room is the greater your water demands. Make sure you have adequate and convenient access to water. A tap that you can run hot and cold water from a hose is ideal.

The floor of your grow room ideally should have a smooth, concrete floor that can be easily cleaned. A floor drain can be very handy. If your grow room has carpet or wood floors you can use a white painter's drop cloth to protect your floors from moisture.


Decide which room in your home will be used as the grow room. Almost any space could be used for a the best grow room setup, from a small cupboard to a whole room, garage or attic space. You can either convert a whole room or cupboard into a grow room, or build a tent or chamber within a room to create an enclosed growing space.

Air flow and circulation. Air flow and circulation are essential for the best grow room setup, consideration for design of your grow room, as everything from temperature to humidity to plant respiration depends on your exhaust and intake system. The main consideration is that whatever area you choose you will have to give that area air exchange, provided usually by an extractor fan. As a general rule, the more lights you have the more air exchange you will require.

Even if you have a small window or natural light source in your growing area you may want to block it off or light trap the area with reflective sheeting. Any natural light that gets to your plants during this lights of period could confuse the plant and affect its growth. Seal off windows with black plastic. Hang a section of black plastic in front of the door on the inside of the room as well. It should hang like a curtain to allow access, but prevent other light from entering the room.

Install the grow light system. This system should allow for physically raising and lowering the grow lights. For a one or two light set up a couple of normal double wall socket would be sufficient. Use chains or cables to ensure stability and durability. Do not use any flammable materials. Use a timer for your lighting system as well. The best grow room setups mimic a day/night cycle.

Air cooling. This will To help avoid heat problems, especially in summer. The very structure of a greenhouse allows for heat to build up. The sun coming through glass or plastic can heat an enclosed area quickly. By providing vents throughout the greenhouse, and fans that blow the heat toward the vents, you can help cool the air inside. Warm air rises, so having vents placed near the roof on either end of the greenhouse will Help alleviate excessive heat.
Place the grow tables beneath the lights. Your tables should include a drainage system and, if possible, a system to recycle excess water. A nearby water supply is vital as your plants may get very thirsty under all that light. We recommend tap water over rain water as it gives you a much cleaner and safer base liquid on which to build. Rain Water will already contain many elements and could also carry diseases or fungi that could harm your plant.

Use a timer for any pumps that will circulate water, such as those used in hydroponics systems. If you are using an irrigation or drip system, go with a timer to ensure even watering. . With hydroponics systems nutrient and pH problems can be eliminated, since the grower maintains a tight control over their concentration.
