Kinda curious, CFL or outdoors definitely seem like the budget solution, just kinda wondering how much you guys spend on bulbs, lamps, soil, additives, nutes and all that. I think so far I've dropped between 150 and 225

got 9 CFLs, with two more bulbs not being used till later today or tomorrow when I get more places to screw em in, plus 2 of those 17 watt walmart grow lights I'm not using and an 18 inch 6500k fluorescent tube, and some fox farm grow big, some bone meal, blood meal, perlite, and miracle organic (I know, I know...at least it doesn't have the time release). not sure if there's anything else I've dropped significant cash on, I know I'm definitely above 150 though, and probably near 200.

My first grow was grossly expensive compared to results. I built my own box in a small closet used all cfl bulbs. All in all I think I spent around ~300 and only got .8oz from it. Kinda disappointing but given the space it wasn't too bad 14"x18"x36". My next grow I'm planning on spending ~500 or so for a proper grow tent, filter, fan, hps, waterfarm, scrog screen ect...

Im going to high-ball all of my cost, just so I dont give anyone a way under-estimate of my setup....

20$ for a sheet of 1/2 plywood for the box
20-30$ for a total of 8-10 20+watt CFLs
10-20$ for my soil and pots
10-15$ for light sockets, y-sockets
0$ for seeds, they were from some kron-bags.
70-100$ total.

Im 3 weeks into flowering and have had major heat stress issues, so there kinda small....
