more money'd help. not to be a dick, but the shit get's expensive. first you need a business plan, even if you are just growing for personal use, put a cost to income list on paper. account for everything. nutrients, power bill, rent, anything that could fuck you if you run out of funding. find the best deals you can and do a bunch of research on what techniques and equipment will work for your space and budget. make sure you have steady income and are willing to stick it out if you wanna start with just 500. in my experience, the money finds it's way to you if you show the dedication to the ganja gods... but be prepared to spend money most times you run into a noob problem.
