How to get ready for indoor season

Why preparation is everything

The best harvest doesn't begin with the germination of your seeds – it starts weeks before. Proper preparation saves time, avoids mistakes, and ensures your plants have optimal conditions from day one. With this compact checklist, you'll have a relaxed start to the indoor season.

Equipment check – check your setup

• Grow tent: Light-tight, zippers intact, enough space for your planned number of plants
• Lighting: Test LEDs – no flickering, no outages. Upgrade if needed: LED grow lights save energy and deliver more output.
• Ventilation & Filters: Replace activated carbon filters every 9–12 months, check fans for noise, clean air hoses
• Small parts: timers, thermometers/hygrometers, plant ties, nets, scissors – have everything at hand

Our tip: Are you still missing something? With a complete set, you'll have everything perfectly coordinated – set it up, plug it in, and get started.

Climate optimization – The invisible secret of success

Your plants grow in a microclimate that you control. Keeping the climate stable will result in more relaxed and productive harvests.

• Temperature: Veggie 22–28 °C, Flower 20–26 °C
• Humidity: Vegetable 60–70%, flower 40–50%
• Automation: Set up thermostat-controlled fans, humidifiers/dehumidifiers, and timers.

Accessories such as activated carbon filters, timers, thermometers, etc. reduce stress and simplify the process.

Genetics & Seed Choice – Timing is everything

Your choice of variety determines speed, growth form and yield.

• Autoflower: Ready in about 8–10 weeks – ideal for a quick start
• Photoperiod: Maximum control over size and yield, requires longer veggie phase

Nutrients, medium & water – strong base, strong grow

• Medium: Prepare fresh soil, coco or hydro setup in good time
• Fertilization schedule: Have a printout ready and follow it consistently

• Measuring devices: Calibrate pH and EC meters, check water quality (especially tap water)

Final check

• Completely set up and seal the tent
• Run a 24-hour test of lighting, ventilation, and irrigation
• Measure and fine-tune climate values
• Clean everything thoroughly – don’t invite pests/fungi in the first place

Only when everything is in place do the seeds go in. This way, you can start the season stress-free.

Our conclusion

Those who start prepared have more fun, fewer problems, and fuller glasses at the end. The indoor season is your chance to take full control – take advantage of it by optimizing your setup now. Happy growing! 🌱
