Grow Cultivation at Home: Setting Up for Success

Home grow cultivation is a rewarding journey that lets you take control of the process from seed to harvest. In Colorado, this hobby thrives not just because of the favorable climate, but also thanks to the state’s clear legal framework for responsible growing. At The Struggle Is Real Services, we’re here to help you navigate the ins and outs of setting up a successful, legally compliant home grow operation.


The Legal Landscape: Growing Within the Rules

Colorado law permits 21+ adults to have home grow cultivation under specific conditions. Individuals aged 21 and over may cultivate up to six plants, with a maximum of three in the flowering stage. Households with two or more adults can grow up to 12 plants. Importantly, all plants must be grown in a secure, enclosed space that is not visible to the public.

Failing to adhere to these regulations can lead to legal consequences. That’s why our team works closely with you to ensure your grow setup complies with both state laws and any additional local ordinances. With our expertise, you can cultivate with confidence, knowing every aspect of your project is legal and discreet.


Designing Your Perfect Grow Space

A successful home grow cultivation starts with selecting the right space. Whether it’s a spare room, basement, or grow tent, the area must support optimal conditions for your plants. Key considerations include:


  • Lighting: Home grow cultivation plants require precise light cycles to thrive—18 hours of light during the vegetative stage and 12 hours during flowering. We help you choose efficient LED or HPS lighting and set up automation to maintain consistent cycles.

  • Ventilation: Proper airflow prevents mold and pest issues while ensuring plants get the CO₂ they need. Our designs include intake and exhaust fans, carbon filters, and oscillating fans for a balanced environment.

  • Climate Control: Home grow cultivation grows best at specific temperatures and humidity levels. We customize your setup to maintain stable conditions that promote healthy growth.


From layout to installation, we handle every detail to create a grow space that works for your home and goals.


Soil, Nutrients, and Watering: Feeding Your Plants Right

Home grow cultivation plants are sensitive to their environment, making soil, nutrients, and watering crucial to their success. Whether you prefer the simplicity of soil or the precision of hydroponics, we help you choose the right medium and nutrients. Key points include:


  • Balanced Nutrition: Home grow cultivation thrives on nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements like magnesium and calcium. We guide you in selecting fertilizers and creating a feeding schedule.

  • Watering Best Practices: Overwatering suffocates roots, while underwatering stresses plants. We’ll help you establish a routine that keeps your plants hydrated and thriving.


Staying Ahead of Challenges: Pests and Diseases

Even the most carefully managed grows can face challenges from pests like spider mites or diseases like powdery mildew. Prevention is the best cure, so we integrate eco-friendly solutions into your setup. These include:

  • Neem oil sprays and beneficial insects for natural pest control

  • Sanitation practices to prevent contamination

  • Regular monitoring to catch issues early

Our ongoing maintenance services ensure your grow remains productive and stress-free.


Harvesting, Drying, and Curing: Bringing It All Together

After months of care, it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Harvesting your home grow cultivation requires timing and technique—trichomes should appear milky white with a hint of amber for peak potency and flavor. Once harvested, drying and curing are essential to improve aroma, smoothness, and overall quality.


We provide step-by-step guidance to ensure your harvest is processed to perfection, so you get the most out of your hard work.
