Must-Haves
Pruning Scissors
A pair of pruning scissors will quickly become your BFF throughout your grow. Use them to trim overgrown branches, trim off damaged leaves, top/fim your plant, and even harvest your cannabis. They are useful throughout the entire grow cycle, and 100% needed! Just make sure to sanitize them before each use with some rubbing alcohol. Purchase a pair here.
Microscope
Want a high-quality yield? A microscope will help you achieve just that. Using a microscope will allow you to see how ripe the trichomes are- aka making sure your cannabis is as potent as possible! Missing the perfect harvest time is a mistake made by many new growers, make sure that doesn't happen to you by getting a microscope before your next harvest.
Support Racks
Support racks help by supporting bigger branches in your Grobo. No more crazy branches trying to fly out of your unit every time you open the door! They can also be used to dry your cannabis post- harvest. Grab yourself a set here.
Mason Jars
This one isn't necessarily needed for growing, but it’s very important for protecting the cannabis buds you spent months growing. Mason jars are an awesome tool for curing cannabis and is arguably the best way to store cannabis so it remains fresh. Purchase a set here
.
Air Stone
Most hydroponic setups require an air stone and air pump to ensure the plant is receiving enough oxygen. If your plant does not get enough oxygen, this is when root rot can occur. So, if you are choosing to grow hydroponically, make sure not to miss out on this important step!
Calibration Kit
Every hydroponic grower knows that keeping your pH probe and EC probe clean and calibrated is very important. If your probes are not functioning properly you cannot get accurate readings, which can harm your plants. The Grobo Probe Care Kit is designed to keep your probes in tip-top condition, which will keep you plants happy, and extend the life of both probes.
Nice To Have
Grobo Fresh
Are you or a loved one tired of smelling your cannabis plants? Grobo Fresh is specially designed to remove odors from your home and last up to 30 days. Late flowering is usually when cannabis plants smell the most because they are covered in cannabis buds! Reduce the smell of your project and purchase Grobo Fresh.
Scale
A scale is always handy so you can determine how much cannabis you harvested and keep track of how much cannabis you yield each grow. Purchase a scale here. What's nice about this scale is it can measure your harvest in grams or ounces.
Co2+ Enhancer
This is a 100% organic product that will boost the size of your cannabis plant. All you have to do is add 1 liter of warm water to the bottle, close the cap and give it a quick shake. Grobo Co2+ will disperse Co2 for weeks in your Grobo, which will boost your plant’s growth rate. You can purchase Grobo Co2+ here, and buy refill packets here.
Co2 Meter
A Co2 meter goes perfectly alongside a Co2 booster. The Co2 meter allows you to track how much Co2 is in your grow space. This allows you to track what levels work best, and when you need to replace your Co2 booster. The Grobo Co2 Meter also allows you to monitor your grow areas temperature and humidity levels.
LED Protective Glasses
The blue light that is emitted from LED lights can cause damage to your eyesight. By wearing a pair of grow room protective glasses you will not have to worry about damaging your eyesight when checking on your beloved cannabis plants. You can purchase a pair here.
Cannabis Trimmer
While not everyone is a huge fan of trimming machines, they are beneficial to people who have a lot of cannabis to trim, or those who struggle with fine motor skills. Cannabis trimmers work by putting the cannabis in the spinner and it trims off the excess stems and leaves in a matter of seconds. If you are interested in cutting (no pun intended) down your trimming time, you can purchase a cannabis trimmer here. The best part about this trimmer is it has a clear top, so you can see how much longer your buds need.
Harvest Trim Tray
Having a tray designed especially for trimming cannabis buds is very useful. Most trim trays have a mesh screen to allow trichomes to fall through to the lower compartment for you to collect, similar to a 3 chamber grinder. The Grobo Trim Tray has an ultra-fine 150-micron stainless steel screen which will last a long time. It also allows only trichomes to fall though, keeping the plant matter on the top of the tray.
Grobo Start
The Grobo Start is a hydroponic counter top seed starter or herb garden. Some of our expert growers choose to start 3 cannabis seeds, and choose the strongest of the 3 to grow in their Grobo, so they are growing the seed with the best genetics every time, which may result in larger yields. You can also grow other plants in this unit such as basil, tomatoes, peppers, and much more. We also carry additional light extensions so you can grow taller plants in your Grobo Start.
Reverse Osmosis System
As many hydroponic growers know, using distilled or reverse osmosis water is best. Tap water has additives that may harm your plant such as fluoride and chlorine. We always recommend using RO water as you're starting with a perfectly clean water, and adding in everything your plant need, with nothing your plant doesn't need. Having an RO system in your home means you don't need to go purchase RO water from the store. No more carrying heavy jugs! We also carry the replacement RO filters and membrane so you can keep you system running in tip-top shape.
There you have it! Our list of the must-haves and nice-to-haves for indoor cannabis growing with a Grobo. You'll be growing top-notch cannabis in no time.
