On my very first setup I probably spent about $1500...

You're not way off base with $900.

I try to inform people when they get into this that they gotta be ready to drop some $$$$ to make it happen right.

This shit will nickel and dime you to death too if you don't plan well.

Ohh, now it's too hot, gotta run out today and find a solution ($250....)

Ahh crap, my shitball meter died and 3/4's of the way through my grow ($300 (to get a decent one so we don't go through that again)). Haha, can you tell I'm an IT administrator with the "))". Gotta close that bitch.

Anyway...good luck and cheers!

Thanks Worm! Gunna start a grow journal soon. Waiting to clone my mothers tonight.
Man, you set that up for your first grow.

That's some beautiful work. From someone who takes pride in their work, you should take pride in that clean, neat looking install.

Can't wait for the grow journal, You better post on this thread when it gets going so we don't miss it. (or at least I don't).

Seriously, I'm jealous of your control center.

3000$ on latest setup and i had alot of stuff allready
cheak log in sig for setup


800 is not a bad at all and it seams you have a good start.

for nutes if you are on a tight budget you may want to look into this line http://www.n-g-w.com/ngw/gardening_supplies.aspx?request=AMER_AGRI_CNS17_GROW_BLOOM&title=Nutrients and Supplements&type=product

i do not use them but know of pepole who do whith much sucess

you do not need mylar if you already bought a grow cab ;-)

ph meter can wait if you are broke
