Harvesting cannabis indoors is a lucrative trade in the USA. Interested people are spending a lot in setting up indoor grow rooms. There are a lot of factors that are considered while choosing an ideal space and throughout the entire growing process. Many people have suffered huge losses because they could not grow crops under controlled conditions. A lot of planning, labor, concern, and maintenance goes into successful cannabis growth. If it is your business, you must be serious about it to enjoy profits. Are you choosing the right space for growing crops? Does the space have adequate conditions? Are there different grow room wall materials to ensure proper growing conditions? All of these are just a few important factors to consider.  

Why have a basement in the grow room?

 It is a wise decision if you have chosen the basement space to set up a grow room. Most people do the same or find old garage spaces for growing cannabis. Usually, the basements are cooler compared to the other floors. A cool basement space makes temperature control easier if you are conscious of the heat emitted from the grow lights. The basements can be slightly vented since there are no windows. The light that plays a very important role stays inside without any leakage. This is extremely helpful in maintaining the light cycles during the vegetative and flowering stages. 

Prevent the growth of mold and mildew

A sealed grow room in the basement is good as it can safeguard your garden from mold, fungus, and pests. There is no worry that they might eat up the plants causing harm to the plantation. A basement is a private, secure space where you can grow plants securely. A certain amount of moisture is favorable for the growth of the plants. The excess can settle on the walls and ceiling, making the condition unfavorable. Mold and mildew can adversely affect the plants which mean a dip in your business. You can protect your basement grow space by installing basement wall panels. They are completely water-resistant, so excess moisture or humidity cannot invade the grow room walls and ceiling. Daily moisture accumulation could lead to the growth of mold and mildew. The panels are further covered with a layer of antibacterial covering that prevents mold growth. 

Distribution of lights inside your grow room

The cannabis plants undergo various growth stages requiring adequate care and patience. Here light plays the primary role. These plants require different lighting conditions in their vegetative and flowering state. So, you need separate spaces during the different stages. The vegetative room can be smaller, but the flowering room needs to be four times bigger than the other. You can use growing tents to have separate rooms in the basement. Too little light is useless and excess light can cause damage to the plants. Sunlight does not reach the basement so mostly artificial lights are used. There are three types of lights used like CFL, HID and LED. Usually, a combination of grow lamps is used, which gives a huge energy bill. But what if you can save some money by not having to pay such a bill? It is possible when you install basement wall panels inside the grow room. The panels are light-reflective so fewer lights are required to deliver adequate lights. This is because the panels distribute the reflected light in equal amounts. 

Simple cleaning and maintenance

A grow room space should be well-maintained and hygienic. Give your basement a deep cleaning if you are new and in the planning phase of setting up a grow room. Have an area where you can keep the sanitized tools and other cleaning gear, vacuums and mops. We recommend installing basement wall panels as they are easy to maintain. They have smooth, glossy surface that does not attract bacteria or impurities. Clean the panels with a moist cloth and a mild agent. We do not advise using acids, bleaches, or abrasives as those might hurt the panels and plants. Washing is no hassle because the panels do not seep moisture through the excess water. PVC panels require very low maintenance, so people choose to install them over other wall or ceiling coverings. 

Duramax panels are durable and robust

They are ½ inch thick 16-inch wide and the length depends on your requirement. The panels are lightweight so they do not involve huge transportation costs.

A fire in the basement can be dangerous so it is better to use a layer of prevention.

The various factors you need to consider

Grow room plants require adequate airflow so there should be proper ventilation with in-line duct fans. The duct system gives fresh carbon dioxide removing the existing stale air. While installing lights, you should do some trial and error methods to maintain the proper distance between the lights and the plants. Place the lights higher if the plants show bleaching or adjust them accordingly. There are various other factors to consider while setting up a grow room.
