Not my suggestion for a first grow. I learned soil first and then I am now learning hydro. These pre-made systems all seem to have flaws from the research I did before I went looking for my supplies.

My advice. Build your own system...This way you know how it works. How to fix it, and how to make a new one. Easiest systems on earth to assemble and make are drip hydro systems. All the parts are available in your local hardware store or Home Depot!

Then look around craigslist to find lights and other expensive gear. You will save hundreds, if not thousands by going used. Or price shop new on the internet and ask your local hydro shop for the internet pricing.

My Veg room:

8 tube T5 light NEW; $150.00
Drip system parts and tubing: $70
4- 3x4 Trays used: $40
20 gallon res used: $20
2x2 tray used: $20
4 bulb T5 light used: $40

12 t5 bulbs new: $125
-----------------------------------------
Nutes: $90
Cal Mag: $30
-----------------------------------------
Milk crates for tables: FREE (I stole these!!!)


Flower Room:

Grow tent 7x7x7: $150
(2) 1000 watt HPS lights w/ ballast used: $300
(4) 3x4 trays used: $40

I already owned my fans...so I didn't need those...But, buy these new is my advice.

$1,225 is what I spent for everything...imagine what you could do with this setup.The forums will help you out. Make friends and ask questions. Document your grow!
