I'm making a list for everything I need for my new grow box/cabinet, and was wondering.. how much have all you put into your grow box? You don't have to get extremely detailed.. just a rough estimate. I am going all out with my new box.. even possibly running A/C. Right now, I've only decided on the main things.. Cabinet, AC/Heater, Carbon Filter w/ Fan and HPS Lighting. My total is just shy of $1000. Anyone else dare to add their receipts?
$2,215 5x5 tent - $170 400CFM fan and filter - $200 Ducting and intake fan - $70 1000w Switchable system - $350 Enhanced HPS - $90 TDS/pH Meter and solutions - $180 Circulation fans - $45 Thermometer and Hygrometer - $25 Grow Through Plant Supports - $50 Reservoir and drip system with timer - $80 AC unit - $250 CFL bulbs and clamp lights - $50 Power strips and timers - $35 Planters and Trays - $160 Nutrients - $300 Media and amendments - $160 $900 Plus a 2x4 tent with a 400w system and ventilation with cloning supplies. So an easy $3K. And I'm not even doing it big. When you see a grow with CO2, meters, and like 10K in lighting, you need to realize that the setup cost was in excess of $15,000 and the regular power bill is over $1,000 a month. Those guys are epic, really epic. I always wonder why they don't just do outdoor in a greenhouse and use the sun. So much money to save, but when the harvest is in the hundreds of pounds what's $25K for a grow room?
PC Case - 20 Lights (CFL x4) - 5 Light adapters - 6 White paint - 3 Surge protector - 5 Soil - 15 PC fans - 6 Total - 60.
I've spent around $30,000 on a medium sized medical grow. It would have been way more, but I get everything at cost! More like 50 Large retail. Power runs 1K a month.
G Damn! That is a medium sized- grow!!!! OP, do you mean like everything that is actually inside the box (the complete garden) or just the box? If you mean just the box, I have spent maybe $70 on lumber, $30 on additional screws and such. $25 on mylar, $40 on tarps, and another $40 on rope for hanging lights..... so only about $200 on my actual box........ But if you meant the entire grow, since I bought LED and fluorescent lighting, i spent a grand plus on lighting, and then another grad plus on soil, supplies, Carbonfilter+fan, electric bill, etc... So, for my 10 plant harvest I will have spent nearly 3k
