For Elvis:

You need to go indoors with that...the chances of it being seen and/or reported/ripped off are just too great - most people I know that grow outdoors only ever do it with garbagey ditchweed of no particular variety and do multiple "plantations" to increase their odds of survival.
But still, too many variables in my opinion.

Indoors the process is quicker, the produce is better, you can grow year round, and some truly spectacular engineered strains are available from various seedbanks - and actually worth growing in this method.

The light/ballast is the main outlay.
Needs: Some pots, perlite (or your preferred medium, if you're not fussy even a nice potting mix and some osmocote will work) Some fishtank ph testers, something like a large wardrobe or gutted fridge, about 4 pc fans or two venting fans to keep things cool.
Optional: You can buy nutrients, and things that might alter bud density but these aren't essentiall if you're just growing personally and don't really give a shit if the plants go to 100% of their "potential"
A basic irrigation system worth about $50 would be another "could do", it lessens the need to manually flush/clear out your grow medium and tray.

Ventillation for the health of the plants, and smell filtration (look into carbon filtration, apparently it's very good) will be your primary area of concern and expense. Most of the other things can be purchased cheaply or found free.

The stuff you grow your self, is all out MUCH better produce, and doesn't support the asshole criminal community that usually push their sub-standard gear at ever rising prices to ever dropping ages.

Essentially you could probably get a decent (and by decent I mean bare minimum to get by WELL) setup going on for the light/ballast + about $250 all up.

I'll be finishing mine with my tax return, ha.

I totally wanna do the passionfruit vine and the ox-heart/beefsteak tomatoes in there ASAP as well.

The passionfruit 'cos who doesn't love that shit?, and they smell nice...might make a good "companion" plant as they call them.

The tomatoes...well, I'd like to have a hamburger or tomato sandwich and just use a single slice, ha, that would be awesome.
