Yeah its not that cheap to get a decent setup, but it pays off big time in the end

I'm only looking to grow a couple for personal use. Can't afford to risk a major grow

 

[Lloyd1990]

Auto seeds? Are they worth the extra money or are regular seeds just as good?

Also can I get any purple haze and ak47 seeds they big faves in my area and can't seem to find any online.

If you're only growing for personal use, you may not need that big of an area. In a 4 x 4' size area you could easily grow 4 big photos, or more smaller ones, and up to 16 or 20 autos. You might consider starting out with a smaller area, designed to it can be enlarged later. I have a small 2' x 2.5' area that is big enough to grow 4 autos at a time. I can routinely pull 6-8 oz. every grow. I use a 240 watt LED that gives excellent results. Since you're on a tight budget a smaller area would of course be a little cheaper to set up, mainly because of less lighting needed.

Click on the Automatic Seeds link at the top of the page, then Mossy's Medical Seeds. You will find a Purple AK there are a very reasonable price.

Cheers may go for the 2'x2.5' grow box. It's cheaper and I'll be able to hide it easier

I would go LED or fluorescent just because you won't have to deal with as much heat

Something like that would work, just have to keep smaller autos in there
