When you think about what you spend on pot, though, suddenly all the gear doesn't seem quite so expensive. Try buying your crop from yourself. Just split it up into 1/8's and every time you take an 1/8 put $50-$75 in your drawer. You'll be surprised how quickly you'll have the money to upgrade your stuff.

In any event, most of the people posting on this forum don't have twelve or even six lights. Many states and the Federal gov't have stricter penalties if you have over a certain number of plants. With the feds it's 99 plants - state laws vary from state to state. But the bottom line is that there's a line in the law and, if you cross that line you just might end up spending a good chunk of your life in prison.
