Light
Most importantly, we have to guarantee that the space is made totally light-proof. Keeping in mind that we want optimum yields, we need to provide marijuana plant 12 hours of undisturbed night and 12 hours light essentially. So if the grow room isn’t light proof it means we would miss the goal by a fair margin.
Disturbing the 12-hour night time span brings down yields or even disastrous harvests. That is the reason you ought to visit your grow room if possible and ensure that no light is peaking in. A grow room that is not lightproof can cause a great loss in terms of revenue and yields. So make sure if light is getting in through some hole, you fix it by sealing it with some light proof tape or something.
An efficient grower dependably checks his plants so that he can limit the growth of unwanted male flowers. It takes fourteen days before a flower can scatter pollen for fertilization. It likewise happens regularly that the plants think that it’s hard to bloom when light is permitted to get in and they will accordingly reduce the yield.
Most importantly keep an eye out that any electrical machines left in the grow room or subjected to be left in there. Avoid it, on the grounds that these have little lights that emit a great deal of light that can disturb the night’s rest of your plants. Block out as much light as possible.
Air Tight
Once our plants are well and genuinely in bloom and are yielding stunning buds, the fragrance starts to spread too. Our plants will start to spread a peculiar and to some degree strong scent, which makes it imperative that our grow room is completely airtight.
The grow room must have preferably lesser air splits or window openings in it from which the marijuana smell can get away, and ideally none at all.
Once your plants start to smell then you will presumably be going by your space so often that you will get very accustomed to it. Thus, you will be persuaded that your plants are making practically zero smell, when in truth people around you will be experiencing unbearable stench.
One other imperative factor of having an airtight grow room is the retention of the internal climate. Having a decent atmosphere is colossally imperative if you need to get the optimum yields from your plants.
So when you are setting up your grow room make sure it acts as an isolated cell in which neither the scents do get out nor any external odor finds its way in.
Only this can lead to optimum yields in the long run.
Fresh air
As all green plants use light, water and CO2 to produce sugar through photosynthesis. Likewise, marijuana uses all three above vital elements to produce sugar and oxygen. Commonly, the amount of carbon dioxide can be up to 350ppm in any closed space but this can be consumed very easily if the plant is in any closed space like a grow room . Furthermore, not having adequate approach to Carbon dioxide can decline the growth of plant.
To overcome this short coming, you can use a CO2 tank with a controller/regulator but you can also use a small ventilation system to refresh air of inner environment or grow room of your marijuana garden. Firstly, you need to place a fan in front of the air inlet and create a hole where air can escape.
Moreover, there are other thousand ways to make sure that there is a good environment in your marijuana garden grow room by just buying a cheap door and making hole in it allowing air and it will also work as air extractor.
Heating
During the 18/12 hours of light, there might be quite hot climate in your garden. The temperature should not go down more than 64C and not more than 84. It is very necessary to maintain the temperature at night because there is extractor working whole night. To maintain a constant climate throughout your grow room, you need to fit a ventilation system one or more than one to ensure a good environment.
Reflective walls
It is very important for the setup of your growing space to make sure it has reflective walls as it will not only increase coverage but will also help in maintaining a uniform environment. The reflective wall that is the most recommendable is Mylar using a heavy duty silver tarp because it is the best stuff currently on the market for reflecting light and increasing coverage.
It is a little more expensive than black-white plastic but reflects some 99% of the light that your lamp gives off back at your plants which of course pays the cost in the long run. When it is water proof, it won’t rip and is a wise color because it still has some reflective quality and hides dirt well.

Thermometer
This is considered one of the most vital elements to have a check on the temperature of inner environment. But what you find better when you get a thermometer without disturbing the inner environment that is a digital thermometer is found with memory features helps you regulate the long term trends.
As it is digital one, so it can be attached with the wire and you can have a check balance of temperature without disturbing the inner environment of your garden.
Moisture in Air
A develop grow room ought to be anything but is difficult to keep clean, and that is the reason I work along a ‘gathering rack’ into which the plant pots will be put. To do this we can have an edge 1.10 m wide, with a length of our choice, and a stature of 15 cm. This is fixed with a similar dark white plastic to make it nonporous (guaranteeing there are no openings in it now or later on).
The benefit of such a rack is, to the point that it is better for cleaner developing and this reduces the chances of ailments in marijuana. All trash, for example, soil, dead leaves and sprinkled water remain in this rack.
Once the gathering is over it is exceptionally easy to simply clear this together and clean it up and in a matter of seconds everything is clean for the next planting.
Lighting
This is another zone where EBay might be your closest companion, as long as you look for better sellers. Light fittings and reflectors can be gotten second hand for substantially less than another unit and make similarly as great a showing with regards to, however you ought to dependably utilize new lights particularly with HID/HPS lights.
These bulbs endure a sharp drop-off in their lumen yield after just a brief time of utilization so regardless of the possibility that your second-hand reflector accompanies a bulb it would most recommended that you purchase another one unless you are sure that this is the thing that the vender has just packaged with the unit.
It’s factual that the least expensive reflectors available are once in a while the best, yet in case that you’re dealing with a limited account you can’t have everything and even the most fundamental reflector will make a superior showing with regards to than none.
You will likewise require a clock amid the vegetation stage in case you pick 18/6 over full 24 hours light. You can also opt for less expensive LED grow lights or fluorescent lights.
LED grow lights

They are not only well known for their durability but are also highly recommended as exact supplements of sunlight as they give off light in all visible spectrum as well as the infrared and UV radiations.
