(2) 10q hydroton $20 (decent price, but the 10 gallon bags are only $20 as well)

Total: $568.19

I don't think I missed anything, I didn't do the specs on my veg boxes because that's all in my other grow log, so if you wanna check those out go ahead. I did add an enclosed air cooled hood for $55 shipped, that won't be in any of these pics. I also purchsed various smaller netpots and foam collars




I'm not going to get into the veg and detail lighting, you can read my CFL thread for that.

Ok I'm just going to post the pictures, but I'll answer ANY setup question (no question too dumb, I promise!!!!!)
