Counting the $

Hi everyone,

closing in on operation #1-
i've assembled a shopping list, please let me know what i may be missing/pricing incorrectly

specs are as follows- growing White Satin, in an armoire, under 400w HPS/MH.

Light/air-cooled reflector/bulbs/hangers- $300
Pots- $5-10
Ph test kit- $10
Soil- $40
Nutrients- $20
Armoire- $50 (used off Craigslist)
Thermometer/hygrometer- $15
Carbon Filter- $30-60
Mylar- $20
Fans- $200
Seeds- $30
H20- $25
Mini dehumidifier- $20

For a grand total of almost $800. What do you guys think? Any thoughts/input would be much appreciated, getting excited, hoping to start before the end of february and harvest before end of summer.

i think you spent alot of money.

$200 for fans?

lol damn what kind of fans are you getting? other than that, nice set up i guess

bkbkbk i think youve got it figured out about right give or take a few, and inline fans are expensive.....!!

yea. this is one expensive hobby. you're doing better than me!

The only thing you need to add to your list is time and TLC and you're in great shape. Happy growing.

ya i just finished my set up and i've spent about $2000 for a legit setup!!! nutrients are going to cost more like $100-$200 depending on how much you want. i think itll cost you about $1000 once u get started.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the replies. As I close in I now actually think I'll be able to get the budget a bit lower- I got my light/reflector/bulbs for 200, a 240cfm whisperline fan for 90, and other than nutes I'm not spending much more than I thought I would.

I think probably incidentals and stuff will pop it back towards 800, but just wanted to show w/ some patience I think (so far) that a legit op can be done for < 1000.

mine came in at about 1400 (included everything from seed to nails to hold the box together). A DIY hydro system (with similar features) would have saved me less than a hundred bucks.
