Quickest Garden Designs Ever!



Good indoor garden designs are easy to come up with because they always follow the same rules. Over the following weeks, this beginning section will be filled with various garden types and different layouts for you to consider, including...

  • window gardens

  • no dig gardens

  • container gardens

  • raised bed gardens

  • hydroponic gardens

  • square foot gardens

  • permaculture gardens

For now...


Ready? Set...Design!

You have an area you want to garden in, either a grow room or a grow box.

Consider your garden area. Consider weather you are growing clones, in the vegetative stage, or flowering, than use that information to help you select your light.

Use your garden grow light and your garden area to calculate your fan exhaust.

After choosing an appropriate exhaust fan, follow the next link to help organize your garden area determine your best exhaust setup.

While your exhaust fan controls the temperature, humidity, and to a lesser degree the CO2 levels, it is equally important to have an oscillating fan for air circulation. Every indoor garden design should have both... the air circulation in your garden is just as important as the air exhaust, though for different reasons. Adding an indoor/outdoor thermometer will help you monitor and control the temperature in your garden area better.

You may want to go an extra step and add a charcoal filter. If you do, your exhaust fan will need to be a centrifugal fan. The other type of exhaust fan I sometimes recommend, the squirrel cage fan, is not quite strong enough for this job.


That's It!

Now you know your whole garden design, just that simple. Once you have your garden area set up, adjust for temperature. Set your digital timers and, if you have one, the thermostat for your exhaust fan. Let the garden run for a day or two to make sure everything is just right for your plants... temperature is the main concern, but humidity should also be kept within an acceptable range.

Finally, you are ready for the plants. In your new area you can set up any type of garden you like... each garden type has its own section with feeding tips and special things to consider.
