From start too finish...about $600.00.Small tent, 400w cool tube, booster fan, in-line fan/filter combo, seeds, soil, nutes, smart pots, ph tester, watering can, ph down, ducting, measuring tape, PVC pipe and connectors, a ball of twine, rope ratchets, cable ties, ambient air fan, ducting tape and clamps, electrical cords and adapters, light timer...and a few other odds and ends....
All that said...With the amount of cannabis I go through, it will have paid for itself with my first harvest.
It isn't the amount of money spent that grows great medicine, it is the amount of knowledge learned by the grower.<<<I like that...should have it copywrited.
Anyway, I have seen growz done in cardboard boxes with CFL bulbs, that knocked my socks off. I have also seen $1,000s of dollars spent on hydro tables, drums of nutes, 4 or more 1,000w lights etc etc...fail due to an inexperienced grower who spent more time shopping than learning how to grow. Lesson learned.
Good Luck and Great Growz
