Your needs and budget are pretty far apart. Lighting as you probably already know is the biggest investment and you do not want to buy poor lights that you will replace later. That is just a waste of money and many of us here have made that mistake. You would do better to start with a set up to grow 2 to 4 plants and then save up to expand later. Once you start saving by not buying from others you can invest those funds in another tent and lights. Growing 4 ounces a month probably wont take ten plants…People here get quite a bit out of 1 plant. But it takes time to learn how to do that. Plus the product you can grow should be much better that what you are buying. ---

This should be good to start with. You got to know what the water is. There are better ones, but I have had success with mine like these.

You measure the water before you put it in and if you have any run off you test that as well, but I wouldn’t be worried about your run off right now. ---

You are in soil correct? At this stage I wouldn’t be watering over a shot glass or so maybe every other day, I’m in coco so I have to water to run off and every day, but in soil you dont want to water like that. ---

Do not water every day anymore. Let that soil dry out. Cannabis hates wet soil ---

Fresh lemon juice will bring down pH, potassium bicarbonate will bring it up. Or you can buy premixed solutions from amazon. Look for pH up or pH down. What soil are you using? Yes, lots of holes in the bottom of the container. ---

When I was in soil at that stage I would stick my finger up to the second knuckle and feel how dry it is, remember you dont want wet, only damp, after it gets bigger and you have to water it more you can use the weight of the pot to estimate when you need to water, super heavy and you dont need any super light means you do ---

Bagged top soil, or just something from the yard? Its probably a bit heavy, without enough added perlite, and probably not balanced for cannabis. Im not saying it wont work, just that itd be easier to buy a cannabis specific soil like fox farms ocean forrest. ---
