Spent $1800 on a 4w x 4h x 8l box with 2 x 400HPS.
Soil, lights, plastic, nutes, fans, materials etc all adds up really quickly.

Like the others have said, start small. Build up your skills first. You gotta learn to crawl before you walk. I'm planning my very first grow right now and although I'm doing a SOG grow I'm keeping the plant numbers down. If you were doing a SOG too I could understand 20 single cola's but a normal soil grow with 20 full sized plants is a massive undertaking...
well it can cost ya 3-6k but depends how pro you wanna go my setup i can grow up to 15 small plants an yeild between 1-2 oz off each plant so on average bout 15- 30 oz per harvest an my setup costs are as follows
600w hps light an ballast= £120/$240
extraction fan= £50/$100
intake fan (optional but rec)=£50/$100
pots an light hangin kit/ extras=£50-100/$100-200
i built the enclosure myself. you can shell out for a cab to be made but they are expensive an u can convert a cupboard easily enough.
then all i buy is seeds or u can keep a mother
it really depends on how u wanna grow do u want to keep it simple an have lots of smaller plants or more complex an have the plants to their full size an full yeild but you would need a whole room for 20 plants of that size
if its for personal use you should keep it simple an a setup like mine will do you justice if you wanna make dolla then you should go all out an spend 3-6 k
i personally wouldnt go hydro for personal use not un till u get some experience but if u want to look at one of the WILMA kits available as they are easy to use an affordable
