    Once all is up & running then there are very little recurring costs... maybe a carbon filter at around £100, any thing else is really about upgrades

    But you can be up & running from a couple of hundred. Less if you grow outdoors

    Around $100 for the tent. Initially bought a couple of ViperSpectra lights for about $150 each. Sold those to a friend for $100 each. Bought a HLG 350R For $500. So in the end I've spent $700US. I haven't found the need for exhaust or heaters. I guess my space just works.

    I have tried to find that lockdown grow thread but can't see it. Basically the higher ups put together a list of kit that would last at least a coupla grows. Worth a try on the search box.

    i started out cheap, bought cheap tent, an inexpensive carbon ''hobby filter'' it all needed replaced to last more than a few grows
    buying cheap actually costs you more money, buy what your budget will allow but try and buy quality vs ''hobby'' if you intend to grow for years vs once or twice

    Depends on everything lol,medium used,how many plants,what lighting,nutes used,etc..

    An HPS grow will be far cheaper than an LED grow to setup for example.

    1000 bucks will save you 2000 bucks if you do it properly.
