Husain used LED lights to substitute as sunlight and used an air-conditioner and a table fan to adjust the temperature inside the flat to make it suitable for growing the plant. Phosphorous, potassium, cocofibre pith, flora pellet, aquasol, aquadene and cay stones were also used by him during different phases of growing the plant.
