Grow rooms as used in indoor farming
2
  • Grow rooms have for long periods been associated
    with the growth of illicit crops such as
    marijuana but in essence this genius idea can be
    used to cultivate any crop that require
    controlled environment .

3
  • These rooms vary in sizes and can be small or
    even very large rooms where the conditions such
    as light, temperature and humidity can be
    controlled. Though grow rooms have been used for
    illicit activities, they too have helped a great
    deal in the field of research on crops.

4
  • For example researchers investigating various
    aspects of marijuana have over so many year used
    grow rooms to grow it for the research purpose.

5
Using a grow room to grow crops
  • These rooms utilizes lamps that generate a lot of
    heat hence a ventilation fan is used to
    supplement the room mechanism of eliminating the
    excess heat and bring the temperature to a level
    that is tolerable to the plant.

  • An individual can chose to use soil or nutrient
    solutions as medium for growing crops. They thus
    create chance for use in aerosponics and also
    hydroponic system artificial lights that are
    widely used include the High-density discharge
    (HIDs) sodium-vapor lamps being the most widely
    used.

8
  • Other source of light includes the traditional
    and the compact fluorescent lamps and the LED
    grow lights. Electricity, water availability and
    water supply are some of the essential while
    constructing a grow room.

Advantages of grow rooms
  • Compared to open farming these rooms utilize both
    the artificial lights and sunlight although one
    source of light can be used. Grow rooms allow
    all year growing of crops.

11
  • Some seasons such as winter or during dry
    weather, cultivation of crops is adversely
    affected but with grow rooms this uncertainty are
    eliminated as optimum conditions provided by
    nature can be replicated in a grow room.

12
Benefits of a grow room
  • Many individuals have been having good yield
    hence dont see the essence of a grow room which
    most definitely comes with extra cost such as
    that of electricity. On the other hand some
    individuals are tired of the quality of yield and
    the uncertainty in their endeavor to cultivate
    various crops.

13
  • Grow rooms as a package contains the following
    benefits when compared with open farming. Proper
    pest and disease control. Open farming is
    adversely affected by pest and disease outbreaks
    that leave farmers counting losses.

15
  • Most of the diseases that affect crops especially
    the sensitive ones such as tomatoes are spread by
    winds. Grow rooms are constructed in a way that
    wind is barred from finding their way into the
    room this is done when choosing the right place
    to construct a grow room.

16
  • More yields are achieved. In a grow room the
    optimum condition required by a plant is provided
    hence better yields are the results. Modern
    methods of cultivation such aeroponics and
    hydroponics system where crops are cultivated in
    the absence of soil is possible with grow rooms.

17
  • In conclusion, grow rooms provide a wide range of
    benefits when used to cultivate crops. They are
    also far much efficient and have more advantages
    compared to open farming which is most of the
    time laced with uncertainties. For modern
    farming, grow rooms are the way to go.
