Ok so im looking at some feminized seeds coming in from nirvana if anyone has a better rep spot to buy seeds please let me know...

I want to hear the best ideas for an indoor grow box/drawer Setup with soil and best equipment possible
So far i already have a $125 air purifier.
so for about 400 bucks what can i make happen?
Stealth design would be nice if cost effective and
I want my plant to be able to yeild atleast 100+ gs of dried product from soil maybe utilizing the lst method... I would like to source locally but can purchase online if necassary
One light i thought of maybe considering would be the
Htg 400w hps/mh light for $120 (high yeilds)
All information would be greatly appreciated... Thank You and god bless and stay high...
Basically what would you do?

Well you have to think of the dimensions of the box/grow room in order to figure out the sort of ventilation you need. You should replace the whole volume of air at least 15-20 times per hour (2-3 times every 10 minutes).

Then you need a 400w light with a reflector of some sort. A cool tube is a great investment for a reflector if your space is limited and temps are hot, but the reflection isnt as good as a hood.
Soil? I suggest Canna Cocca (can mix your own if you want).
Nutrients (essential) at least a A&B growing kit - a&b meaning veg and flower or different types of nutrients.
PH tester (pretty important - but i have managed without them by just watering with pure water if i see problems from too much nutrients)
Pots? Bigger = better. Square or round. Make sure they are black/dark in colour to prevent light reaching roots and stunning the growth + have drainage holes or you could stab some in :D. (I use 4 gallon round)

Grow tents can be very pricey so you could make you own if you look into it.
With 400 id go:
Light: 400W (200 max) including reflector so like 80 for a reflector
nut: $50
pots: find some
Soil: make own
Fans: 50

Kind of hard because ive always gone the expensive side and got everything sorry haha Hope i helped in a way?

Craigslist and ebay. On ebay make sure to select "used" you'll be surprise the people getting out or upgrading and selling for very cheap.
