INDOOR & OUTDOOR GROWING

MATERIAL FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR GROWING

For indoor and outdoor growing you need different cultivation material and accessories. In our online grow shop you will find all the necessary material for the growing and development of cannabis plants indoor and outdoor.

Grow tents and grow tents

Grow tents are specially designed structures for growing cannabis in a discreet and controlled way, either indoor or outdoor. These grow tents provide a protected environment where key factors such as temperature, humidity and lighting can be regulated. Creating optimal conditions for plant growth. They allow you to maximise the space available and make it easier to control key aspects of a successful grow.

Grow Tent Kits

Grow tent kits offer a complete and convenient solution for those wishing to start growing cannabis indoors. These kits include not only the grow tent itself, but also all the components needed to set up an efficient grow system. It includes lighting, ventilation, air extraction, odour filters, pots and seeds. The grow tent kits provide beginner growers with all the essential tools to start their growing experience successfully.

Indoor growing tents and grow tent kits should be placed in rooms and not in an outdoor area.

Lighting Systems

Lighting is essential for indoor cannabis growing and isn’t usually a resource used outdoor. Plants need a quality light source to carry out photosynthesis and grow optimally. Lighting systems used in cannabis cultivation include LED lights, high-pressure sodium lamps (HPS) and metal halide (MH) lamps. These light sources provide the light spectrum needed for each stage of the plant cycle, promoting growth and yield.

Climate Control

Climate control is crucial in both indoor and outdoor growing to ensure that cannabis plants grow in optimal conditions. For indoor growing, fans, extractors and ventilation systems are used to regulate temperature and air circulation. For outdoor growing, techniques such as greenhouse construction can be used. Also, the use of shading to control exposure to direct sunlight and to regulate temperature and humidity. This is a very important factor in indoor and outdoor cannabis cultivation.

Carbon filters and anti-odour

In indoor cannabis growing, odour control is a major concern. Carbon filters are used in extraction systems to remove odours generated by plants in the flowering phase. These filters absorb the volatile organic compounds that cause the characteristic smell of cannabis. By using carbon filters in conjunction with extractors and ducting, you can maintain discretion and prevent odours from spreading outside the grow tent.

Carbon filters are only used for indoor growing and are not necessary outdoors.

pH and EC meters

Accurate control of the pH of the irrigation water and the electrical conductivity (EC) of the nutrient solution is essential for the successful cultivation of cannabis. pH and EC meters are tools used to measure and adjust these parameters. Maintaining an optimal pH and proper EC ensures that plants absorb nutrients efficiently and avoids problems with overfeeding or deficiencies. pH and EC meters are reliable and easy to use instruments that help growers to maintain a proper nutritional balance for their plants. We should check pH and EC in indoor and outdoor cultivation.

Materials for Cuttings

The process of cannabis propagation involves taking cuttings from healthy mother plants to grow new plants. To do this, you need tools such as pruning knives, rooting hormones and suitable substrates to root the cuttings.

Plastic pots

Plastic pots are common containers used for transplanting growing seedlings, as they offer good moisture retention and allow easy drainage of excess water. The larger the pot size, the more root growth the plant will have. In indoor growing we will use small pots, since their growth is slower, outdoor they will be of large size to obtain enormous plants.

Harvest

Harvesting is the highlight of cannabis growing, where the ripe buds are harvested and prepared for consumption or processing. During this process, it is important to have the right tools such as pruning shears, manicure gloves and drying nets. In addition, it is essential to know the optimal harvest time by observing the trichomes of the flowers with the help of magnifying glasses or microscopes, to ensure maximum potency and quality of the harvested buds.

Microscopes and magnifying glasses

Microscopes and magnifying glasses are tools used by growers to examine the trichomes of cannabis flowers during the harvesting process. They allow an observation of the trichomes, which are small structures in the flowers where the cannabinoids and terpenes responsible for the effects and aromas are found. Observing the trichomes with microscopes or magnifying glasses helps to determine the optimum time to harvest, when the trichomes reach the desired level of maturity. In outdoor growing it will also help us to locate insects, while indoors we will see many more trichomes.

Fertilisers

Fertilisers are nutrient products used to provide cannabis plants with the essential elements they need to grow healthy and vigorous. These products contain a balanced combination of macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and micronutrients necessary for optimal plant development. Cannabis fertilisers are formulated to meet the nutritional needs of these cannabis plants during the different stages of growth, up to flowering.

Cannabis fertilisers are used for indoor and outdoor growing.

Insecticides and Fungicides for Cannabis

Cannabis cultivation can be affected by pests and diseases that can compromise the health and yield of plants. To protect them, insecticides and fungicides specifically formulated for cannabis are used. These products help prevent and control insects such as spider mites, aphids and thrips, as well as fungal diseases that affect foliage and buds. It is essential to follow the instructions for use and make sure to use safe and environmentally friendly products.

Reflective Plastics

Reflective plastics are materials used in indoor cannabis growing to maximise lighting efficiency. These plastics are placed on the walls of the grow tent to reflect light back to the plants. This ensures that the lower and side parts of the plants also receive an adequate amount of light. In addition, this helps to avoid shadows and maximises light absorption, which results in more uniform growth and higher yields. It is not necessary to use reflective sheeting when growing outdoors, we only use it indoors.

Hydroponic growing

Hydroponics is a soilless growing technique where plants are grown in nutrient solutions instead of soil. This method allows for precise control of nutrients and irrigation, which can result in faster growth and higher yields. In hydroponic growing, systems such as NFT (nutrient flow) or DWC (deep water culture) are used, and materials such as growing buckets, pipes, water pumps and oxygenation systems are required to maintain an optimal environment for plant roots.

Growing Accessories

In addition to the above categories, there are a number of accessories that can be useful for growing cannabis both indoors and outdoors. They include timers to control light cycles, pulleys and hooks to hang lights, trellising nets to support plant growth…

In short, indoor and outdoor cannabis growing requires a variety of materials and tools to ensure healthy growth and a successful harvest. From grow tents and complete kits to fertilisers, lighting systems, climate control, harvesting, insecticides and fungicides, carbon filters, reflective plastics, pH and EC meters, cutting materials, plastic pots, microscopes and magnifying glasses, hydroponics and growing accessories. Each of these categories plays a crucial role in the growing process, providing the tools necessary to achieve the best results both indoors and outdoors.
