U think 380 alot of money to spend on growing indoors?? Im only on my 3rd grow and already its cost me over 2 racks! Thats 2 thousand if u didnt know wat a rack was. And i only grow for personal use.Growing GOOD herb can be very costly, but its a very enjoyable hobby! My ballast alone cost me 300 at least. Despite the cost of set up i still think its worth it to grow your own.
