Still it is the most popular form of crop for many households and people love to grow it for its medicinal value as well as to add grace and beauty to their garden.

Growing cannabis indoors is itself an art, however there are many things to consider for its proper growth. Here we will give you some tips if you are a beginner in the gardening world and want to grow cannabis indoors. If you follow these steps then you are sure to have great quality cannabis flourishing in your home.

Let us assume that you have germinated the seeds, and then now is the time for the actual process of growing cannabis indoors.

1.Select an appropriate place for its growth:

Selecting an appropriate place is very crucial for its proper growth. Your indoor garden should be created slightly out of the way particularly not in the bedroom but your attics, basements and closets are all good places. Be sure that these places have adequate lighting facility. In case your garden is in the room where there is furnace and in case this furnace gets exploded, you are sure to find yourself in trouble. Give the walls its share of white paint and avoid using tin foil because it can focus light just like laser beams which can burn the leaves.

2.Select Proper Pots or Containers:

Your plants require proper container or pot. The pots made of plastic are considered as the best for the proper growth. A company in Laguna Beach, 420 Grow System makes a pot which is self watering. It has many professional growers, happy since it is impossible to over water or under water with these special sub irrigation containers. If you are using the 420 Grow System just fill the pot with soil and plant your seedling, water once to the top, then always water the fill tube and check every 4 days.

If using traditional plastic pots, fill the bottom of the pot with the large gravel for draining off the water, and the rest of the pot should be filled with the soil mixed with sand. Though you can use buckets also for its growth yet drainage holes needed to be drilled at the bottom. In case these containers have been holding other plants then they require proper sterilization with alcohol or bleach.

3.Proper Lighting:

Growing cannabis indoors is not as easy as it seems. These plants are sun loving and isn t it a situation of paradox that we are growing the same indoors? But indoor growing can also not be a great problem if we provide them with proper lighting. You can have fluorescent lights which are very efficient, cheap and do not require much of the heat too. Metal halides or MH bulbs give more light than fluorescent lights and so then require adequate ventilation. Even MH bulbs also need different balls to work.

4.Requisite temperature and proper ventilation:

Temperature for growing Cannabis indoors should be 65 degrees F and not more than 90 degrees F. Their growth will take place at a temperature of 70 to 75 degrees F day and night and at more than 90 degrees F, the enzymes in the plant start breaking down affecting photo-synthesis. The plant also requires proper ventilation and air. The best method is the use of a fan. In case the room is very large then the fan can be kept on for all the time but in case the plant is kept in the small closed environment then you can open the door two times in a day.

When using the 420 Grow System pots, be aware your plants will reach their maximum height quickly. If you want to grow Cannabis trees up pot to larger pots, Like 14 inch, or 16 inch the largest Cannabis trees are grown in 19 inch pots, and could reach a height of 13 feet.

Process of drying and harvesting:

For the plants to start flowering, it is very important to keep your lights down for 12 hours. For helping to dry the plants, do not water them the entire week before harvesting. Cut the plants and pluck the large leaves to place the same in paper bag or box and stir them every day. Within three weeks, the buds will be dried and you can enjoy smoking.

Isn t growing cannabis indoors easy? So why not try it, grow the plant and redeem many of its benefits.
