-INDOOR GROWS USE MORE ELECTRICITY THAN OUTDOOR GROWS DUE TO LIGHTS, FANS, VENTILATION, ETC
-WATER SOURCE IS CRUCIAL FOR BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR GROWS HOWEVER INDOOR GROWS GET NO NATURAL WATERING SO INDOOR GROWS MUST HAVE WATER SUPPLIED BY YOU
-SPACE, KNOWING THE AMOUNT OF SPACE YOU HAVE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR GROW IS NECESSARY SO YOU DONT OVERCROWD YOUR PLANTS AS THEY GROW
