FROM THE EDITOR | LINDA JESSON
With the year coming to a close, we’re taking
time to reflect on 2015, and looking ahead to the
New Year. It’s the perfect time to set new goals for
yourself, such as how to get your indoor garden
performing better than ever. We’re here to help,
with this issue’s articles on how to grow with T5
lights, accessorizing your growroom, gardening in
grow tents, setting up a DWC system and more!
You won’t want to miss our feature article on the
photosynthesis process, which is fundamental to
plant growth and yields. A firm understanding of
how plants photosynthesize will help you provide
them with the best light, temperature and CO2
levels possible, and help you take your garden to
Linda Jesson
the next level.
The world is becoming increasingly aware of the
benefits of indoor agriculture, and many influential companies are tapping into the
technology. We spotlight one of these companies—Microsoft—this issue. They are
growing leafy greens indoors at their headquarters to supply their cafeteria and staff
with the freshest food possible, all just a few hundred feet away!
Finally, we are pleased to announce the 2016 East/West Grow Gear Expo Tour,
with much-anticipated returns to Novi, Michigan—May 21-22—and San Francisco,
California—July 23-24. With the opportunity to experience first-hand the latest technologies in indoor gardening and network with industry leaders, you won’t want to
miss out on the 2016 Indoor Gardening Expos! We look forward to seeing you there.
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for 2016!
