Hey guys! This is my first ever grow-op. I'm aiming towards a 2-tent (veg/flower) grow cycle. I have been researching for a few months now, and i believe I have come up with the formula to do so. As some background, I will be growing in a basement of a rented house in an "illegal" midwest state in a America. I'm set to move into the house 2/1/13 and have saved up about $1,200.00 for the everything pot-growing-related (not including seeds). Now that everything is on the table, here is what I have come up with...
