big investment, if you wanna do a grow supply right.
1 to 2 k for a hid setup you will settle for (this hobby is addicting)
or a few hundred max, prob 100 for a one plant cfl set up. That includes soil, amendments, and such.
I thought someone should let you know hoe much exactly, more or less, what it takes to make the plants look inside what some of the ones you have seen on this site.
I started like that, an accidental seed popped. Well, sorta, I googled grow supplies and bought random shit before I found this site. This was before the cfl section I think, anyway the hundreds piled up before I got what I really need and what was more experimental. The best way, if you want hids, is to ask and post in the setup section what your space is and your budget. I went HID lights and have the medical smoke I want
plus cookies.
A nice book if you want some toilet material is jorge cervantes, "five easy gardens".
tho you dont need all that f course.
