How to grow your own plants successfully
More and more people are interested in home growing - and for good reason! Indoor cultivation allows you to grow high-quality plants all year round, regardless of the weather.
However, there are a few things to consider before you get started. Here's everything you need to know!
What you really need
The perfect homegrow set
A good indoor grow stands and falls with the right equipment. But what actually belongs in a Homegrow set? Here is an overview:
✅ A stable grow box to control light and odour
✅ Powerful lamps - LED is particularly efficient
✅ A ventilation system with activated carbon filter to combat odours
✅ Soil or a hydro system, depending on your preference
✅ Pots, fertiliser and measuring devices for pH and humidity
A set can make it easier for you to get started, as all parts are coordinated with each other. This is a particularly good choice for beginners!
What you should know before you start
Homegrow
Before you plant your first seed, you should clarify a few things:
- Is homegrowing legal in your country? The law is not the same everywhere.
- Do you have enough space and can you afford the electricity costs? Good lighting consumes energy.
- Are you prepared to look after your plants every day? They need care and attention.
If you keep this in mind, you can look forward to an exciting journey into the world of indoor growing!
Complete grow box set - Practical or unnecessary?
A complete grow box set has many advantages: You save yourself the tedious search for individual components, everything is perfectly coordinated and often cheaper than buying them individually.
If you want to start small, a 60x60 cm box is sufficient. If you have more space and want larger yields, you can opt for a 120x120 cm box. It is important that the lamp matches the size so that your plants get enough light.</p
How to make your first harvest a success
Cannabis Homegrow
Cultivating cannabis requires some know-how, but don't worry - it's not rocket science! Here are the key points:
🌱 Choose the right seeds - indica is more compact, sativa needs more space
💡 The light-cycle is crucial - 18/6 for growth, 12/12 for flowering
💨 Don't forget ventilation - fresh air keeps your plants healthy
💦 Use water and fertiliser wisely - the right pH value is essential
A good start is essential. If you follow these basics, you have the best chance of a successful harvest!
Indoor grow guide - step by step to success
Preparation: Set up your grow setup and check the light, air and temperature.
Germination: Germinate your seeds on a damp kitchen towel or plant them directly in the soil.
Growing phase: Keep the temperature and humidity stable and water regularly.
Blooming phase: Switch the light to 12 hours and pay attention to nutrients.
Harvest & drying: The flowers need time to mature - leave to dry for at least 10 days after harvesting.
Avoid mistakes - how to make your homegrow a success
There are a few classic mistakes that beginners often make. Pay attention to these points:
❌ Too much or too little water - your plants need balance
❌ The wrong pH value - a range of 6.0 to 7.0 is ideal
❌ Poor air circulation - this can cause mould
❌ Harvesting too early - patience pays off!
If you avoid these pitfalls, you can look forward to a really good harvest.
Which Homegrow Box is right for you?
There are different sizes - here is a small guide:
- Mini box (40x40 cm) - perfect for one plant, discreet and space-saving
- Medium box (80x80 cm) - ideal for 2-4 plants, good compromise
- Large box (120x120 cm) - for 6+ plants, perfect for professionals
The right choice depends on your available space and your goals.
