If you want to learn about Indoor gardening, this is the site for you. Our pages have tips on choosing garden grow lights, hydroponic nutrients, growing mediums, and prefabricated hydroponic gardening systems.
Once you get started with your indoor grow, you may have even more specific questions. Which garden grow lights to choose? How much fertilizer to use? Where can I buy hydroponic growing systems?

Garden Grow Lights
There are three main types of hydroponic grow lights: Incandescent, fluorescent, and high-intensity discharge (HID). Incandescent lights are generally a poor choice for garden grow lights due to their inefficiency and limited light spectrum. HID grow lights are more efficient and produce more light (up to 10x more lumens/watt than an incandescent light), but also produce more heat, are more expensive, and will require the additional maintenance and expense of a ballast. You should be aware that HID hydroponic grow lights will be slow to warm up to their full strength. It can take up to 100 hours of burning before the light intensity and color will stabilize.
You can also use natural sunlight to grow indoors and skip the expense of purchasing garden grow lights. This can be done with a greenhouse, solar room, or even a large window that gets plenty of sunlight. You can also do the reverse of this and grow outdoors hydroponically. Hydroponics only means that the growing system is soilless, not necessarily that it is an indoor setup.
A general rule for your garden's required lighting is that 1000W will adequately penetrate about 16-25 square feet of plant area. To make your indoor gardening system more efficient, you should consider using a reflector and/or light mover. Also, don't forget that many types of hydroponic grow lighting require a ballast to ignite the bulb.

Indoor Gardening
Advantages of Indoor Gardening
There are many reasons why indoor gardening is increasing in popularity. When set up right, a good hydroponic growing system can be much more economical and efficient than a traditional soil garden. Here are some of the benefits of growing indoors:
•Fruits and vegetables grown indoors with hydroponic gardens have been shown to contain more vitamins and usually taste better than soil grown produce.
•Indoor gardening allows you to grow year-round, especially useful for those in extreme cold or hot climates.
•Larger numbers of plants can be grown in small spaces because less space is required between plants. Most hydroponic growing systems can be adapted to fit in oddly-shaped areas, allowing greater flexibility.
•Eliminating soil reduces the risk of disease and drastically cuts water usage. Indoor hydroponic systems are usually easier to maintain than soil gardens because there is no soil prep work required (weeding, tilling, etc.)
