Hi guys im new to this never grown any plants , My government is suppose to make new rules , that we are able to grow 4 plants , I pay around 250-300 euro on bud per month , and i want to cut down on these expenses and start growing my own bud . How much would it cost me to build or buy a complete tent for me to be able to grow 4 autos (dont know if they are the best) . I also wish to know the price of the soil and seeds and all the things im going to need . Thanks :D

Budolskie has the right idea, if cost is a concern and you want to grow 4 plants, get a 4x4 tent, a cheap 600 watt hps light, and start with GOOD photoperiod genetics-fem seeds are fine. You can grow a large, quality crop with that setup at a tiny fraction of the price you would pay to light that footprint with LEDs. If cost isn't a concern, by all means, go with LEDs. We can't really help you with exact prices because, I'm assuming you are someplace in Europe?, well you guys always pay more and have less selection than we do in the States, it seems like, just from comments I see here.

Above is one plant in a 3x3 tent under a SUNRAISE qb2000 light, that pulls 200w from the wall. It yielded about 250 grams.

Below is one plant in a 4x4 tent under a 540w viparspectra blurple LED. It yielded about 500g.

How long on veg

The one in the 3x3 was grown from seed. It was topped at the 6th node and then light training through a trellis net. From sprout to 12/12, it was under 24hr light for about 8 weeks.

The plant in the 4x4 as a mother plant that was about 8 months old. It was way to bushy, so it was way trimmed back and thinned out, then trained lightly with a trellis net. You could prob get the same results with 8 to 10 weeks veg from seed under 24hr light.

Just top it and then train out the sides until it fills about 3/4 of the 3x3 or 4x4 area. Try to keep all the top growing shoots around the same height. Once it looks filled out enough, flip it to 12/12.

Some plants stretch a lot in the first few weeks of 12/12, so be mindful of your height constraints.
