1k will get u a set up for sure, but your going to hjave to budget and write down all the stuff u need, like those ebb and flow tables will cost about 250-400 the light will be another 300 and then u need supplies, ferts, fans, cool tube is 100+. So on a small scale its def. dooable. Just dont go for the double room set up. Make your one room get a grow under ur belt, and then set up another room. However those ebb and flow table's are very nice, and produce alot more quicker then soil.
I think it also depends on what kind of weight you are expecting. I would hate to put 1000 in some nice stuff but not end up harvesting but a few plants.
With 1000.00 budget, youd better be harvesting at least a pound the first time out.
I have 320.00 into my grow so far and am very optimistic.
I'd seriously think about skipping the cool tubes, at least for now. You've got the cubic footage to handle 2k easy, and air-cooling your lights requires a whole secondary ventilation system, including a pricey seperate blower.You should be able to cool that room in open reflectors ( HydroFarm Pro Ultralight, Sunlight Vertizontal) with a single blower in the 500+ cfm range. Run ya $225 ish. A pair of smaller blowers would be more around $350. Spend the differance on a temp/humistat.
Pair of Ks w/horts- walk into local shop w/ cash and list. You should be able to get one full price, one at cost- about $700,750 depending on the line.
Classic 3000s should be about a buck each, a bale of ProMix around $20, gallon of PbP-$35
Black and white poly for walls,ciel,floor- $50 ish
Comes in just shy of $1100, but you'd be solidly set up.
