If you think that your own indoor grow costs too much money, you are wrong. It can even make money if you do it right. Of course, you do need some experience. However, we have experienced that starting an indoor grow is a considerable investment for most people. That is why we have listed a number of tips here that will help you save money in the short and long term.
Making your own food
To save money, you can use your own compost as food for your plants. Instead of the expensive chemical food you normally have to buy, your compost bin is a natural and cheap alternative. Just make sure to add some sawdust, grass and/or straw to the mix. That way it becomes an ecologically responsible plant food!
Collect rainwater
To save water you can systematically collect rainwater. This is a lot cheaper but also better for the plants compared to regular tap water. Rainwater has a better PH value by nature. It is recommended to filter and check the rainwater before giving it to the plants.
Choose lighting for the long term
Most people think that HPS lamps are the cheapest solution for indoor growing. However, that is not always the case. In recent years, LED grow lights have come onto the market that last a very long time. If you calculate it on the lifespan and the lower costs of energy consumption, the LED grow lights are a lot more economical!
Use a grow tent or grow box
To really make effective use of a small indoor space for growing, it is best to put together a grow tent or grow box . In this way you make optimal use of a small space and it is also not so noticeable. Due to the reflective walls, the light is also optimally used, which saves you money!
