To be honest, $2k for a guy that doesn’t smoke that much(I am one of those too) sounds like you might be overspending. Unless you are planning to sell bud, you can definitely get a grow set up for under $1k especially since you have a tent concept already. My first grow was in a 4x2x4 tent with T5 lights. I messed it up and still got over a quarter pound. Your big expenses are going to be a light, and exhaust fan/odor filter, soil, nutes and of course seeds. Good seeds can be easy to come by when you know people or are on a good forum.
