Indoor Growing: Elements of Control

Indoor growing offers numerous benefits over growing outdoors, some of which will be covered here.

This post will cover some of the elements of plant health and yield that can be controlled closely when growing indoors, and what benefits are offered.

Temperature

Plants of a given species thrive when temperatures stay within an optimal range, influencing not only vegetative growth but also the overall size and health of the final yield.

Moreover, maintaining a perfectly consistent temperature at all times isn’t always necessary and in some cases, it can even be counterproductive. Certain plants grow best when temperatures naturally fluctuate throughout the day or between light and dark periods.

Indoor growing allows for precise control over this factor, and modern monitoring equipment allows you to automate these temperature cycles perfectly.

Humidity

A lot of people don’t realize that it isn’t just how much you water a plant, but how much you regulate the humidity that fosters growth.

Some plants flourish with constant high humidity, some prefer it to rise and fall throughout the day, and others prefer very dry conditions all the time.

Rarely does humidity make or break plant health entirely, but it can be a factor that influences the difference between rapid foliation and high yields and more sluggish growth.

Indoor grow tents allow for very precise control over ambient humidity levels, enabling controls that support optimal plant health for faster growth and more productive yields.

Light Intensity and Reflectivity

Whether or not a 1000 watt LED grow light is enough for your setup is one thing, but something else to keep an eye on is the reflectivity of the tent.

Tents, such as AC Infinity grow tents, that have a higher overall internal reflectivity will ensure that more light energy gets delivered to the plant’s leaves and other chlorophyll-bearing, energy-producing tissues.

The lower the internal reflectivity, the more light energy will be literally absorbed by the tent’s walls, lowering the overall energy available to the plant, driving up costs and hindering growth.

Of course, overall light delivered to the plants is also critical, but so is the construction of your indoor grow tents.

Irrigation

Growing indoors will also allow you to have better control over irrigation. First, you won’t be limited (or hindered) by natural watering, and you’ll make sure the optimal amount of water is delivered to the plants’ roots. This provides optimal soil moisture for your plants, and that optimal soil moisture is maintained as well.

This perhaps more than any other factor ensures ideal growing conditions for plant health.

Considering Indoor Growing? Here Are Some Benefits

For those that are considering growing indoors:

  • Doing so will extend your growing season, which is especially beneficial to those that live in cold climates.
  • Indoor growing allows for much more precise control over moisture, temperature, humidity, and light conditions, among other factors.
  • Indoor growing makes it possible to grow species that would otherwise not do well, such as tropical species.
  • Indoor growing will help you limit the control of pests, parasites and diseases.
  • Growing indoors can improve indoor air quality and will provide you with endless hours of recreation and enjoyment.
