Theres a difference between support your local hydro shop and them ripping you the fuck off...You may pay 15 but your also supporting local shop.
tue that I have the ona gel for now to combat the yummy smell, and I havess a window I can remove and add a fan blowing outside if needed but I'm going to play by eat and see why happens and only get what I need for this go round already about 200-300 dollars into it and assuming the plants produce the right amount I should be able to share and get my money's worth back for more upgrades. Being as I have 8 plants I'm expecting abokut 14 ounces if not moreyea well you might want to look in to that ventilation/filter set up before the end of this grow, once in flowering they will stink !!
but do as me, get it up running like you have now and wait until next pay check/safe up to buy it, then its also about time to flower Im sure, a budget kit can be found for for around 100$
like this one:

filter like bulb`s last a year roughly (I first fit mine in flowering/when they start to stink) ventilations can last for years, mine have now been running for +1 year 24/7 and both clear the odor in flowering, and provide fresh air/co2 for my plant`s and help keep it cool (tho I use LEDs now )
IMO a must have, fresh air circulation is so important for them to do good and the odor control equal important to stay stealthy and be able to live in there
Most of them are preflowered already showing signs of female looking at posabilty of one male as of now but it's hard to tell of they are balls or pre pistles ill just half to wait and see. And i know all bout that yummy smell I've grown outdoors hopefully I can contain it in the setup i have but only time will tell and I think I'll start flowering tonight depending on he they look. Already have timer ready just gotta hit the switch and good to go, dark period will be 7pm to 7am so I can moniter them with my schedule. Don't worry I'll keep updates comingYep it can add up fast and don't worry about yields if you take care of the plants and have a good hold on the environment then you will get good yields. If you did not start with clones or fem seeds then don't count on all 8 being female. It could turn out half will be male. Also I wouldn't let them grow to tall with your light setup. But yes I share with my friends and after a couple grows it will all pay for itself. You will be amazed how stinky those plants can get when flowering. Even if you love the smell it can be a little much. Lol
