What you’ll need for farming

Planter Box or Plant Pot - where your seeds actually grow.
Light Source - plants need light to grow indoors (ceiling lights, floodlights, etc.).
Sprinklers and Water pumps - keeps plants hydrated for faster and healthier growth.

Proper lighting and water dramatically improve growth speed and yield. Most serious farms are built indoors with sprinklers wired to water pumps.
