My first grow was with a $179 Bubbleponics Kit with two 85 watt lights, (www.stealthhyhdro.com) and I got 4 ounces of dried manicured buds. I nearly killed them 4 times and I wasted two or 3 weeks of making mistakes.
Now I have twp of those kits, 14 lights and I get 15 oz to one lb of dried manicured buds per grow. $60 for nuts is what I spend now.

heres a good start up package
1) 5 3 gallon grow bags + pro mix soil to fill them 30$ ( do a google search for plant / hydro shops near you they will have this )
2) general hydroponics maxi series dry nutrients 1 lb maxigrow (veg ) and 1lb maxibloom (flower) 27 $ ( 12- 14 $ each) ( order if off ebay or pick it up at the same store u get the dirt and bags from )
3) 5 feminsed seeds from nirvana shop around 40 $ ( choose your favorite strain )
4) PPM meter off ebay to measure the amount of nutes your feeding your plant ( they are 14 $ on ebay and like 60 $ anywhere else so use ebay for this ) ( this is also an optional item but its makes life easyer and its definitly worth the 14 $ but alot of people grow with out them so its personal choice )
4.5) Ph meter exact same deal as the PPM meter 14 $ on ebay the difference is instead of the testing the amount of nutes it tests the ph of your solution and the soil when measuring the drain off
5) refurbished 400 watt MH / HPS grow light with 3 year warentee ( search insidesun on google the have them for 125$ shipped which is 100$ cheaper then a new one and it works the exact same way save your self some cash ) ( another option is a 150 hps / mh lamp from econo lighting which is i think 20 $ ) I use 2 of the 400 watts from inside sun my self and they work great. I have no experience with the econo lights but some people on this forum can tell you more about those
6) TLC...... priceless
all added up right around 250 $ and if you folow the instruction and guidence of the people on this site and do your own research you will have 5 very beautiful healthy female plants which can yield you several ounces ( more if you choose to clone but thats more advanced then i am trying to get here ). Last i check in my area 250$ wouldn't get you an ounce of chron if your life depended on it. so in the end it pays for it self. Also once you get your first harvest done you could potentially sell part of it ( im not suggesting this but you could ?! ) to make up for your invested cash and maybe even a little more to expand your set up with better nutes, a home built or store bought hydro system, Co2 supplement, grow tent, cloning equipment, the list goes on for ever
I hope this was helpfull. i am not trying to burst your bubble here i am just trying to make your first harvest a successfull one and not another story on these forums with a 14 inch 3 noded plant growing in MG pre nuted trash soil, in a dixi cup under a desk lamp

the "couple of ounces a month" is the prob.
You would need three grows, growing, to do that.
When you start your seeds, it will be two to 5 weeks VEGGING, and 8 or 9 more weeks in the FLOWER cycle. That is 11 to 13 weeks on average, in a Hydro grow. If you smoke an ounce a month, then you need to harvest 3 ounces every 3 months.
I'd get a 5 gallon bucket, $10, or a 8 gallon rubber maid tank,
Rockwool cubes, $5.00
Cups, 3 per bucket, $3.00, or 6 per tank, $6
2 85 watt CFLS, $60
a air pump $14
a water pump, $29
two long air stones $12
Irigation hub and tubes $34
nutrients $30
seed,
and start with that.
