Types of Marijuana-Growing Spaces

It is all about economies of scale, and it’s what’s expected of the yield that drives the plans for a marijuana grow-house. Here are several marijuana grow-house ideas:

1. Marijuana Grow Cupboards

The simplest and most common marijuana grow house is a small cupboard located in the cannabis farmer’s home. Usually, it is in a secondary bedroom that has low traffic and meager cost. Most cabinets are closet-sized and only house several plants. Spaces of two feet by three feet are common, and these normally require one small light and simple hand watering.

The yield from one cupboard can be significant, though. A several-month growing season can raise enough buds to provide a recreational user all they can smoke or a medicinal patient needed for treatment.

2. Marijuana Grow Cabinets

The next step up in marijuana grow house options is a marijuana grow cabinet. This is a larger space with enough room to move about, yet it is still contained within a regular-sized room. Often these cabinets are located in a basement or outbuilding and range in space from three feet by three feet (nine square feet) up to 50 square feet.

The largest grow cabinets require significant lighting and electrical requirements, which typically maximize the power services to an existing room. Yield from a cabinet can be more than justified as “personal use” within the law but can return a tidy secondary income for a grower.

3. Marijuana Grow Tents

These portable marijuana grow-houses are very popular for their return on investment. They are tents that fold out to a free-standing structure set up in a bedroom, basement, garage, or even a storage shed. Sizes range from 16 square feet up to 64 square feet and can accommodate dozens of plants.

These fabric grow tents are completely lightproof for a controlled environment and are blacked-out on the exterior yet highly reflective on the inside. They allow the grower to integrate automated watering and filtered ventilation systems at an affordable price.

Multiple marijuana grow-tents are often used in multiple units that house crops at various stages of development. Still, they are limited in size due to structural support and have a limited lifespan. Moving the tents take a toll, as does continual washing to maintain a healthy mold and pest-free interior.

4. Full-Room Marijuana Grow Houses

Full rooms of 100 square feet or more are beyond the hobbyist’s reach. These rooms are also attached to a significant monetary outlay and a great amount of time consumption required to run them.

Basements or cellars are good choices for full-room grow houses, as the underground temperature from the earth is cooler and more stable than an above-ground room, especially an attic. Full rooms can accommodate dozens of plants and can be divided to allow zoning for different plant cycles.

Full-room grow houses also require more electrical and ventilation supply than can be provided without significant alterations to an existing structure. This is why many marijuana growers turn to specially designed, freestanding steel structures. A serious grower upgrading from a small operation and expanding into the increasingly lucrative commercial marijuana market is wise to spend the time and the funds to develop a dedicated and trouble-free grow house.

Properly designed full-room marijuana grow houses are built with the proper components that include the correct insulation, ventilation, lighting, automated controls, and a safe and secure environment.
