I just placed my first order from Attitude and purchased my tent and 400hps ligh and cooltube on Ebay!!!

I am so psyched! I have been doing research preparing for this day for months!

I will be itemizing everything I spent so the incoming newbies can get a good idea of what it really costs to run a small op.

So far:
$5 timer - Home Depot
$4 18g reservoir - Home Depot
$12 4pk 23W daylight CFL ( for vegging moms) - Lowes
$6 Hygrometer for temp and humidity with high/low memory - Walmart
$8 Fan 9" - Lowes
$215 400hps with cooltube - HTG Supply
$99 36"x20"x62" grow tent - Ebay

Still to get:

Pots (5-6")
Aquarium water pump
Hoses
Aquarium air pump
Bubble stone
Tub for ebb/flow
Ebb/Flow fittings
Nutrients
H2O2 - 35%
Testing equipment
1.5" Rockwool cubes
Grow medium (Clay Pebbles or Higromite, I have not decided)
Exhast Fan
Carbon filter if needed - I am growing a berry so I may be able to control the odor with ONA for less $
Tubs to make MOM chamber for vegging
Seedling Heat Mat
Cloning Gel
Soil (for moms)


It is off to the garden nursery tomorrow. They have a nice little hydro section in the back with good prices.

Nice Bro, Things sound good. i would get the round air stones if you can. The cheap ones that are completly made out of the air stone material tend to break down in the nutes. You def want to get the best one you can. It makes a huge difference. Post some pics if you can GL

Hey Hydro,

Thanks for stopping by. I will look for the round stone. Thanks for the tip. Rep+. I would take a pic or two but all I have so far is equipment. Pretty boring. I will be posting LOTS of pics once my girls are up and dancing.

I went to the garden center today and acquired some more supplies.

Higromite - $25
5 1/2' net pots x18 - $.75 ( I know that the net pots are not necessary in an ebb/flow but I could not find the exact right size of the normal ones. The tub I will be getting for my table is 36"x16.5" and I wanted to stuff as many SOG clones in there as I could. 18 )
Rockwool starter cubes - $9
Water pump - $7
Fox Farm soil (for Moms) - $12

Still a few things to get. I will post the list in a few. More soon ....

haha nice pic. Things are sounding like they are coming together you should take some pics of everything beore you put it together. not to post but just for you. it is pretty crazy when you look back on things like tht after you get a few harvests Also you said you got a tds pen but did you get ph pen? you can find one cheap aswell and it will make a huge difference. I also went with the cheaper pens and wish i hadnt. I have to calibrate them constantly because they start to give false readings. I would also like to get a good tester but they are very expensive and who knows if they will be any more reliable. keep it up bro! GL
Pe@ce

Hey hydro. No PH testing equip yet. I will probably go with the cheapo strips to start with. I hope to be able to afford a good tds/ph meter by the time I actually get going good. I will be raising moms for a few weeks and then a couple more weeks to wait for clones to root before i really need it to be precise.

How often do you calibrate your pen?
