where are you buying all this from?
Got the seeds from Rhino Seeds (UK)
Got the aeroponic stuff through E-Bay.
The kit came with all that is pictured, below (organic nutes, rock wool, hydroton, the light, etc...)
It sounds like I may have paid a bit extra ($150), but being a true first timer, I figured that I could use a head start.
I, also, figured that I could always use this set up for something, even if I upgraded to a better set up down the road.

[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Whether you garden for fun, food or profit, the Aero-Pro system will give you everything you'll need to build, grow and reap the rewards of hydroponic gardening without breaking the bank. [/FONT][FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Aeroponics is one of the fastest plant cultivation methods to grow vegetables, herbs, flowers and houseplants due to the high level of dissolved oxygen to the root zone. Plants will achieve an increase in water and nutrient uptake over conventional soil gardening methods. Soil tends to bind up crucial minerals and therefore plants tend to expend a lot of energy pulling the minerals away from the positive ions such as clay in the soil. With aeroponics the cation exchange is neutral for optimum nutrient uptake and accelerated growth. An added befit to using the Aero-Pro system is that there are NO 1/4" hoses or fittings of any kind to clog.[/FONT]

[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Excellent for use in smaller indoor gardens of approximately 4' x 4' (16 square feet) these lights will produce more than enough light to grow your favorite flowers, bulbs, buds or herbs from seedling to adult. What is especially notable about these lights is that it WILL NOT cause your monthly electrical bill to spike. In fact, using these lights on an 18 hour cycle will cost you less than $10 per month in most markets. [/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Compact Fluorescent Lighting has come a long way since it's inception. Today they are bigger, brighter and way more efficient. An added benefit is that, even though they produce the same lumens and Kelvin Temperature as their High Intensity counterparts, they do not produce the worrisome heat that HID lights produce. This allows you to position the lights closer to the canopy of your plants and can use them in a much more confined area (i.e. a closet).[/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This light is Full Spectrum and burns at 5000K allowing for vegetative AND flowering cycles. No need to purchase a separate bulb for both stages of growth. This is NOT a standard sized fluorescent bulb. See for yourself:[/FONT]
