  8. My man if youre trying to grow indoor for personal Id say with $500 Id spent about $300 on a good light source. At least 300w. I have a 400W LED light that I paid almost $400 for so you can get something decent. Then Id buy an inline fan and carbon filter for the smell. As far as box or tent goes youre better off using a closet or build your own box if youre trying to save cash. Ill post a picture of my set up when I go downstairs. I ended up paying about $500 for everything.

    Light 400w LED $379 (Amazon)
    6inch inline fan and carbon filter $135 (Amazon)

    Growroom was free. Its my unused pantry.

    Seeds cost me $70
    I have 7 total with 4 different strains.

    The 1 in the picture is a Liberty Haze
    I have a second plant which is a bag seed of Sour Diesel.

    I wasted 4 seeds due to my own fuck ups so in total I spent about $650 total for everything.

    You can buy an all in 1 tent but they usually dont come with lights or carbon filter/fan combos.

  10. 500$ on a grow is peanuts. Id probably just buy a bunch of building supplies and make a custom room. Then with my next imaginary 500$ I might be able to almost buy a decent light for my custom room... how many 500$ do we get? Every week like cash for life?

    A better question would be if the government contracted you to grow for local dispensaries what kind of a set up would you run?

    Now your talking
     
  11. Questions is why are you growing? Your personal pleasure or money? Not sure why anyone would need to spend more than $500 for a personal grow room if its for themselves.
     
  12. I smoke a crazy amount and use it for chronic pain relief. If I grow it for myself it needs to be on par with the current meds I take. Hence better equipment.. I know ive spent more then $500 on my grow. Maybe more like 2gs over the years.. given this is my second offical run at it.

  14. The guy isn't asking about a dream set up, just what would you do for $500. Its definitely possible, even if it is a small set up. Lots of people start out w/ basic equipment and upgrade as they go....nothing wrong w/ that.

  17. Pennsylvannia , wooded acres run around 480 depending on the company you go thru , but there are hundreds of companies surrounding westmoreland and fayette county that attempted selling firewood bough acreage and is selling it dirt cheap ...
     
  18. Im sorry i didnt specify earlier its a lease ont he acreage not a purchase.. I should have been smart enough to include that in the reply ... thats my bad..

  20. damn man that's nice. Couldn't touch an acre of wooded land around here for less then 2-3 grand for garbage timber. 4-5 for anything worth hunting. At 480 I would be buying every acre I could afford.
