Ugh.. I didn't pay attention this year but I will try.
Soil
10 bags Kellogs Patio Plus @ $6.00/bag =$60
2 Bales Kellogs N'Rich = @ $7/bag = $14
Supersoil amendments = $50 guestimate
Maxsea Veg and Bloom =$27
Earth Juice Sea Blast =$7
Sevin Dust and Green Mountain (Left overs from last season)
Praying Mantis Eggs =$15
Carport $15
Shadecloth $40
Smartpots 8 x $5 = $40
Ocean Kush Clone =$12
Bubba Kush Clone =$12
Sour Diesel Clone =$12
Harlequin Clone =$12
Kens GDP Clone =$12
Blue Widow Mom =$10
Alohaberry Mom =$10
= $348 (Round up for shit I forgot)
I'd say $375 and I splurged this season. LOL

I am about 5000 in right now. But I got a ton of stuff I didn't even get to use. I got magic pots kind of like a smart pot from 1000 gal down to 100 and everything in between. I have about 30 of them. Also 3 600 watt with digital ballasts. This will all be used for next years outdoor now that I feel more comfortable, it will be large!

soils $700ish (living in the boonies and having hard clay soil is awful)
smartpots $300ish (100's and 65's) (good for 2-3 seasons)
23 clones $250ish
nutes $200ish
drip system & timer $50ish
found cages free
temp work lights $40ish (many other seasons)
215 card $75
axamax from CL $20
trellising $75 (few seasons worth)
utilities $50ish (getting them ready to put outside)
well water is free
$1760ish / 3 = 584.66 each
my old "pill" meds would cost me like $750 a year,after insurance
being able to feel feelings again is priceless

My first real grow this year so i needed several starter supplies i wont need to buy next year but here is my total. I have two 4ft LST mothers in 5 gal smartpots and took a total of 8 clones , kept 1 in a 2 gal smart pot. I have pruning shears and a magnifying glass, FF trio nutes, FFOF soil, neem oil and a pyrethrin based insecticide, a DIY humidity dome, and two clamp lights with 26w cfls, a ph meter, cloning powder, razorblades, spray bottles, a watering can, and some molasses for good measure.
I spent a total of $320 so far but still need drying supplies and cure jars. Considering an oz in my area runs about $320+ and im expecting 10+oz dry, id say it was well worth the investment

Great point about the meds that have been replaced..
My monthly bill for pills + the dr who I'd see monthly was 250$ and this was just 1 bottle each mo. (it was higher when I was on all the meds they gave me)
Now.. I am nothing cept this plant! and feel so much healthier!!

hmmm.....i bought
8 bags of soil=$40.00
2 packages of MG bloom booster=$7.00
6mm plastic sheeting=I think like $20.00
shade cloth=$30.00
bamboo stakes=$10.00
pots=$30.00
gravel=$4.00
Composted chicken manure=$4.00
Steer manure=$3.00
trellis netting=$15.00
staking stretch ties=$3.00
epsom salt=$2.00
molasses=$30.00
tarps and black plastic sheeting=$40.00
watering can=$3.00
zip ties=$11.00
fan=$20.00
superthrive=$12.00
The total comes out to $284.00 if i did the math correctly.
I may have underestimated the cost on some things. so between $284 and $300

Fantastic idea for this thread btw G. I didn't even think to stop and take into account how much money i spent......I would have spent so much more just for 4 ounces of weed.

Soil= $25
Seeds=$15(left over from last years pack)
Nutrients= about $25(Advanced Nutrients Heavy Harvest left over from last year, epsom salt, and fish fertilizer)
Pesticides=$25
Tomato Cages= $10
Scissors to trim= $15
Ball Jars= Left over from last year
So I spent $115 for two plants. And a few of these expenses will cover me for next season also(Bought too much insecticide). This will supply me close to 1.5-2 pounds and get me through to next october without having to buy any.

Let's see here. I need to think pretty hard on this one, since I am baked! Lol!
I started out buying a 400w Mh/Hps Kit which came with an aircooled hood w/ wings, Revolt dimmable ballast, yo yo hangers, 1 Metal Hylide Bulb, and 1 High Pressure Sodium Bulb. I got that for about $200 w/ shipping and handling off of ebay. It may have been a few dollars cheaper, but I can't remember exactly. I bought that back in November of 2011.
Then I spent $120 bucks are getting ripped off by a seedbank for the seeds that I purchased for the 1st time off the internet, so I decided to research it a bit more and found Attitude. I believe that is right after I joined the RIU community. Then I spent about $150 on seeds that rip. Once I got those, I went on a rampage buying seeds on my credit card. I spent about a $1,000 on genetics, and I know I got some winners in my collection. I am slowly but surely weeding the good ones from the bad ones.
Then I've spent about $150 for a carbon filter w/ a fan built together. It doesn't work as well as an inline fan & carbon filter would, but I don't feel like cutting wholes in my walls to do it correctly. I don't plan to live here forever. And it is better than before and what I am growing now is very stinky.
I bought $35 in Miracle Grow soil, MG perlite, MG Seedling Starter, and MG and Shultz nutes.
I bought $30 in Botanicare Trio Pack of Nutes consisting of Cal/Mag, Grow, and Bloom for soil and hydro. I am using soil by the way. I also bought some bamboo stakes and some ph drops to check my tap waters ph but all was good.
I bought a shit load of 2-way adapters to make a 4-way adapter to add as supplemental. Like about a true 200w worth of CFL's. That cost me maybe, "You know what I cannot tell you how much I spent on all the adapters and how much I paid for the CFL's that I bought. So I'm just going to say that I spent $20 bucks.
I also had to buy pots, and I can't remember how much I paid for mine, so nevermind I will just say for free.
The Grand Total so far is about $1750.
I want to add the $20 dollar increase for my electric bills for 8 months, and that will come out to be $160.
Total: $1910
I forgot to add that I accidentaly bought 2 400w HID kits, but I have only used the one. I have the other in a safe place. Not where the grow op is. Anyway that is another $200 that I spent. I won't use it unless this one breaks. I don't want to sell it, because as soon as I do the one I have now would break. LOl!
That's alot of money, and I am still paying on those credit card purchases, but it is paying it's debt off real quick for me. I am 2 weeks away from harvesting my OG#18 and 3 weeks on the Ak-47. The plants them selves look like shit, but they have trichs all over them. The Ak-47 had to be staked today, because the branches are about ready to break from them heavy ass top colas. And that is what I love to see. 3-4 weeks can't get here fast enough for me. I'm broke and have no more weed except for a few bowls. That won't last me long either. Plus I grow this strictly for myself. I don't sell the shit. I will smoke my friends out and shit, but that is it.
