A 100 watt LED some soil, a pot
... and so it begins
You don't need much for 1 plant. A light, decent soil, some liquid nutrients, and the ability to give the plant absolute darkness. It's really not hard. It's called "weed" because it grows like a weed, it will grow in spite of you in fact.
I'm coming into this completely ignorant. The furthest thing I've ever done to growing a plant is me finding a few seeds in my grind, putting them in wet paper towels, them sprouting; just for them to die in a few pots with soil. I'd like to grow indoors. I've been trying to learn about growing mushrooms and microgreens too. I'm basically trying to go off grid, plant wise
The most important thing in your indoor grow is your light. Everything else is secondary at first. You can always dim a light but you can never make it brighter. I'd suggest starting with LED although HID hardware is very cheap but LED is the future. What's your life like and how do you see your grow fitting into it? Are you a student that moves a lot? Parent with kids? Retired? What area can you devote to this etc.... You need to discuss how this will fit into your life, do you plan to sequentially grow or have separate areas for different life stages.
But will it grow well?
My mom has an led light for a salt water aquarium. Might that work?
What does your mom think about it? She'd have to be a partner and financially can you afford it right now? No a reef light will not work. You're looking at about a grand to get started in a way that will allow you to finish. Unless you can use the sun.
Oh I don't live with my mom. She wouldn't be a partner in this or anything like that. She has another light just laying around and I thought I could repurpose it. But the grow kits I've seen already come with a light. I live with my girlfriend who, yeah, supports me and my decisions
You'd need an actual light to flower with. That's 100 watt, enough to get you to veg...Oh I don't live with my mom. She wouldn't be a partner in this or anything like that.

Saw this one that seems good
Oh it said vs1000
It says it pulls 100w, you need to look for the draw at the wall. You need more.
Sounds like a higher electric bill at the end of the month lol
Yes it is. That's why you may wish to pay for weed until you finish school. For example I could buy a LOT of concentrate out here at $20.00/gram compared to just the electricity on my grow. Anyway it's something to think about
Get started for less than 1k, like $250
Honestly, yeah, weed is cheap. My only problem is finding a trustworthy source of weed. I'd much rather pay a little extra for some things. I have my card and use medical weed. Medical marijuana I find way less potent than recreational weed. And I can't find good people to buy from. My story above was the last time I bought from someone. I wont buy from him again unless I know for sure it's good stuff
