hey bugs,
StinkBud is correct with his system costing a lil more up front, with a lil more work to setup, but you in the long run his system will save you tons of time. having said that I too had to start with a limited budget so my first few harvest will be in soilless mix, i have mama plants in a DWC (which is cheap and easy to DIY) i clone in peat pellets (again cheap and easy) and transplant to 1gal grow bags. mix my nutes in a 5gal bucket and hand water for now. I say this because if your on a startup budget I'd spend the money on the lighting first and save money to buy the rest. 600w or above for flowering. LIGHTING IS KEY TO GOOD BUDS!!!! and being a new grower having some experince growing in soil before moving to the aero setup will help to. Then again Stink system is so str8 forward that its really hard to mess up. but without the expensive PPM and PH meters its really hard to maintain that system. feel free to message me if you have questions.
