One of the biggest cost considerations for indoor gardening is power
consumption.
The energy requirements of an indoor garden can vary widely
depending on a several factors, from the scale of the indoor facility being used
to the type of plants being grown to whether the horticulture is hydroponic or
soil-based.
Hydroponic growing systems need expensive irrigation and pump setups
that can drive up costs, but these costs are usually mitigated by increased
efficiency and bigger yields, which is why so many indoor gardeners are
enthusiastic about hydroponics.
Other factors that influence the energy requirements of indoor gardening are
ventilation and lighting.
Growing plants indoors requires a suitable light
source that replicates as closely as possible the intensity and spectral
qualities of sunlight, and proper ventilation is necessary to sustain healthy
plant growth.
The choice of lighting types used in an indoor garden can affect
the type and level of ventilation system required,
