    Not needed for a few weeks but the carbon filter, intake and extraction fans are missing from the list..

    Very important items to have

    It's like going fishing with no line... can still catch but everyone will know about it!! ><{{{*>

    EDIT: You will need extraction fans right away... Will be too hot with a 400W HPS and no extraction!

    You need a few more bits:

    Extractor fan
    Carbon filter
    Timer / contractor
    Bloom nutes
    Isolating fan

    you need a few things there mate,

    5" exrtactor fan would be near the top of your list & something to hang it up with, bungee cord, velcro straps, zip ties all work well (that's if you have the old drs90 as the new one has the straps to hang your fans and filter)

    BUT before that you need a light for VEG as 400w hps is for flowering and would be too much for seedlings, I use a 65w blue cfl that cost me around £7 and works great, three weeks under that and me plants are ready to go.

    good luck mate!

    Its different for every set-up but mine is 2*120mm pc fans + 60mm pc fan for intake/outtake, 250w red cfl + 80w of small cfl's, iguana juice grow + bloom, cannazym, black treacle, can just about squeeze 2*14l pots in probably really only 1 should be in with the space i got lst'ing/scrog is a better opinion for the equipment i have, suppose it depends on the space you got

    good soil is a must id say but its only about a fiver for a massive bag from garden centre,get some seedling compost to start and then re-pot in to a multi purpose,a decent timer/temp guage will cost you a tenner and a small fan for circulation and to strengthen the plant will cost about 5-10,id say your all set to start you can add extraction as you go along as you wont need it for a while,I've just done my first grow and the whole thing is a learning curve for my next go!
    good luck
