And ghost stared off cheaply (I'm sure he'll agree) - Doing things the right way (that fits you the best) is key. But doing it cheaply, isn't really possible. I think a cheap grow would be about $200 and you MIGHT get 5 or 6 grams when done.

My total investment so far has been right around 1800 (not including the equipment I just ordered) and I've only gotten 5 or 6 ounces to date. This is more a hobby than you might imagine. It does yeild something, and of course when its good it's worth it (yes, some of it is just horrible, I grew an ounce of shit that tasted like asparagus) It did the job (somewhat) but tasted like a NASTY mess.

With all that being said - I'm SURE I can do a single plant on a $200 budget actually produce decent buds, HOWEVER.... Planning it out would be more tedious than I personally feel its worth. Lighting alone on a budget is a pain in the ass - There ARE fortunately cheap nutrients out there, and I've actually had better luck with some of the cheaper ones and molasses than I have with the FF suite of nutes.

Anyway, it's bee over a week, so hopefully your back at work and doing things the right way!
