check out my grow, its starting off cheap.


It has taken my bf and I a while to buy a 400$ light now, and well we saw it as an investment.


We'd rather buy a 400$ light, then 400$ of dope as the lamp will make that money back in a way because after half a lbs we'll have got enough dope to make up for the lamp.

my setup so far cost about $125, including soil and nutes



soon to be lined with mylar
120mm comp fans for intake/exhaust
80mm comp fan for circulation
2x 6500 (23w?) 100W equivalent bulbs
2x 5000 (23w?) 100W equivalent bulbs

not the best grow room around but it works!



dont think it looks bad for a little over a month old

you just gotta have patience...or get some seeds for a plant made to grow faster

We went with a 600watt, with warranty and nice reflector so we don't have to upgrade later on and deal with another 300-400$ buy in a year.

my home boy is using like a 150watt hps form home depot and he only does 1 plant at a time but everytime they come out beautiful he will top it some and get like 8 or 10 small colas and some small buds on the side i was really impressed what he got out of that small of a light you might try that or even better just save some money and go buy a 1000 watt and git er done

I can relate,when i was a small boy i lusted after very expensive high end hifi gear at a custom shop near me,i used to go after school & look at $3,000 record players,that was big money back then & i'd tell myself that someday that shit would be mine,it took some years but i ended up buying my dream hifi system's.

You'll get there it just takes time,keep focused on the important shit & the fun stuff like expensive grow gear will fall in place in time,you'll appreciate it that much more when you get it.

My little indoor setup cost me very little. Now I am not going to add the cost of things like soil into this total because I feel that is a per-grow expense, but here is what I spent on getting my room ready to grow. I spent MUCH less than most people have on indoor setups because I do the bulk of my growing outside - and the quality of my indoor bud is about as good as it can get.

400w HPS system with an HPS bulb and a MH conv. bulb - 165$ from indoorsun.com
6" duct fan - 40$
5ft. of ducting - 6$
oscilating fan - 25$
roll of mylar - 25$
temp/ Rh meter - 25$
digital timer- 25$
power strip - 8$
50ft. extension cord - 10$
2x 4ft. fluorescent fixtures for sprouts - 12$
10x 1.6 ga square pots - 12$

So for less than 350$ I have a modest setup that can net me up to 8 oz. of quality nugs every 3 months or so....
