I employed the same approach. I started with a basic closet space threw in a 600w a few pc fans, oscillating fans and hey presto I built myself an oven in my spare bedroom. Lol. Quickly I then had to spend money I didn't have in order to get to my harvest. Each time I harvested I saved money not having to buy weed. Then progressively I saved enough to completely remodel my grow room.Personally, I have employed the "Build it as you go" approach. I was fortunate to have the materials to build my little 4x4 room, so I invested in a 600w light set up, some panda film, and a really good seeding dome. I know I need a ventilation fan and some odor control, but with the temps this low outside I can put the fan off a couple months, and I won't need to worry about odor control until I start flowering. I can spread out my purchases and get everything I need, when I need it. You don't need to buy everything at once, you should focus on climbing the hill in front of you. It seems like your first hill is gonna be temp control, so I would definitely look at some fans and check out what other people are doing. Same with odor control, and don't forget about nutrients and humidity as well. As you need them do your research and move in specific steps. RIU has a billion posts to answer most of your questions, just do lots of research and reading and you'll be fine. After all, they don't call it weed because of its difficulty to grow!
My total investment from the starting blocks back in December 09. Is actually somewhere around the £2500 mark ( don't tell my wife lol ). My current setup was £1400.
It gets easier with each grow to make small modifications but building an oven initially can be avoided, but it comes at a cost.
