Overwhelmed novice
WOW,
I was not sure when I joined If I was going to be able to grow. After much reading, I decided to give it a go but I'm in over my head trying to come up with a shopping list.
I figure my budget will be 700-1000 ANd I would like to go and use hydro since I been into it for years. The bubble buckets look like the best bet. my Other half gave me the go-ahead to use the spare room as my spot. I was looking at the 48x48 tent I notice they sell them as kits as well as single I don't know what would be the better option i've seen some systems they call complete for around 300 that use Mars leds and have the filters. so i'm at a standstill as of where to go from here.
so far I would like to use the root riot plugs i have read good things about them. i don't know much about the nutes that i will need to get or will need . The only system I ever messed with was using fish so this is different beast to me. I was looking in to doing a pi setup but I think that is a little over kill for novice to start with I would rather be as much hands on as possable. Will I need timers and such? So this where Im at trying to fill in the blanks of all the little nick/nacks and nickle and dime stuff i will need before I start. If anyone has the time can you please put a list of the stuff i'm missing so i can fill in the blanks. Sorry for the bad grammer I'm a talker not a typer.
Thanks in advance

Hello mate , good shopping list above from mr man. I started with and am still using a Wilma sytem they come in all different configurations but I started with the 4 x 18 litre pot set up. Kind of felt like a hydro system for beginners to me and all comes as a kit with everything u need apart from the medium. I'm still using it two years on with all the same stuff so it's pretty reliable to and quite reasonably priced. And you still need to dip your truncheon every day if you like the hands on approach

No need to use co2 at all mate, unless you've got a professional sealed set up. It won't make a difference for a small grow. As the air exchanges in a tent happen so often that the co2 would be gone before it was used by the plants.
