this is plenty and will last you awhile...you will have to replace bloom and the micro, 1st...both under 10 bucks, as you use more bloom than anything...

for additives
liquid Karma is my 1st choice...
hygrozyme-enzymes
calmag+-replenish minerals in r-o or distilled water. you most likely don't need this if you are using tap or well water
you need ph up and down

You can grow nice plants with just the 3 part. I recommended the additives, just to give you a start. I use them as much for preventitive measures as I do out of need. goodluck...that ebay deal is around alot.
