haha never noticed the flag before. whopps!
well I don't want to spend over 100$ for sure, less than 75$ would be preferable. I wasn't too sure of the sub $50 group but I guess I do need something to get my hands dirty.

For setup, I only want a few as a test and produce a few plants. Probably enough to self medicate for a while before doing the process over/refining.
My basic plan right now is to get the electronics soon, ph meter, barometer/thermometer from ebay and then decide on setup. I though of cloning the growing room in the video (8ftX8ftx8ft) but thats probably too big for a few plants. I saw a post here using a large tupperwear container from walmart for a single plant - to me it looks promising for a test or may be halfing the room (in vid), and lamps.

I saw your first grow attempt bonedaddy, it seemed to go pretty well and the plants seemed healthy at first. I'm hoping I get at least that far on my first attempt as well - course hoping to get buds but never know.
