@fuh I've never done outdoor grow but I think that's the least expensive. Yes, actually. The instructions folks are suggesting you read include a low cost starter set up. I know there's so much info there that you can get lost trying to find it but it's not a race. Take your time. In addition, many people here post what equipment they use and pics of the grow they get with it. You can Google their stuff and see if it's in your budget. Honestly, I've always wanted to be a professional shopper and I'd love to help you spend your money but I'm one on the newest newbies here and probably not your best choice to get advice from. But I am cheap too. What's your budget?
