It's legal to grow marijuana in Massachusetts: Here are tips on how to successfully cultivate your own cannabis
The law legalizing recreational marijuana in Massachusetts, approved by ballot measure in November, allows home growers to grow up to six marijuana plants per person or 12 per residence.
While state legislators are debating what to change in the new law, many residents have taken an interest in growing plants in their homes.
A grow house or tent allows the environment to be controlled and dust free, and to provide darkness and light in equal measure.

- Metal-halide lamps, which produce light that is blue-ish white, are generally used during vegetative growth.
- High pressure sodium lamps produce light that is more on the red-orange end of the spectrum and are used during the flowering stage, according to leafly.com
Cannabis needs fresh air and ventilation, which is where a fan comes in.
