Hello, First time grower here…I started with White widow auto flowers earlier this summer, and I finally have 5 young ones …3 months and 10 failed seedlings later! At this point I’ll have to bring my plants in pretty soon, so looking to figure out what I need for an indoor grow set up…
Here’s a picture of how my plants look as of today.
I would greatly appreciate any help directing me to a standard indoor grow kit list 
First and foremost. Budget. Think about some things.
How much space so you have? How many plants do you want to grow. What kind of medium do you want to grow with? Any idea on nutes?
I grow organically. I use Coast of Maine Stonington Blend and their amendments. I also supplement with worm casting teas. I use dynomyko also. Growing organically has many benefits. You can even reuse your soil for your next grow.
If you want to go budget, use this soil
Thanks for the tips!
My current plan is to put together a basic indoor set up for 5 plants at a time.
That should help me get the current crop to the finish line and take me through the MN winters before I can try to time my next grow for the outdoors. While I am an infrequent smoker, I am an adept gardner, so growing my own seems to be the obvious way to go and a new challenge to keep me busy.
I do have 4 grow bags set up and ready to go with a mix of peat moss, Coco and perlite; and the right fertilizers for each grow phase lined up. So I just need a tent (to help contain the smell) and the lights and any other equipment needed to get me through this winter.
Hope that helps add some more details to my original ask.
Just a suggestion. Spend 90% of your first budget on lighting. Go cheap everywhere else. Upgrade the dirt cheap gear as you can. A GOOD light can grow anything with dirt and nutes. Anywhere you can plug it in. All you need is dark time. If an auto do not even need that. With what I have learned over the years all i need is a light/bucket/soil and cannabis friendly nutes. I can grow monsters with just that. It is NOWHERE near as complicated as some make it.
The smell only gets bad toward end of flower. Plenty of time to get a carbon filter/good fan and figure out how to evac your area through the filter.

take the worry out. My thread has my year.

That’s the fact Jack!!!
Seeds, dirt, and light, so easy in 1970’s
Complicated now?
When i started growing again after a 40 year haitus and joined this forum, in my thread i mentioned that id not been able to grow since the led tech hit the ground. I said as much about the major change from hps/cfl/mh to leds and someone said oh man everything has changed and i was like no still need soil, light and water. At times i think the smarter we get, the dumber we are. The royal we. Not us reg folks.
I have a smart phone. Since I got it, I have CRS disease.
