Every grow will cost less. 1st one pretty expensive, considering I've bought about $1500 on seeds alone. I'm suffering from S.A.S. (Seed Acquisition Syndrome). But it is so much fun & rewarding.Dude, my first year I got about two pounds...and then I googled how much that's worth here. I cannot fathom why more people don't grow considering you can literally pop a seed in some shitty miracle grow soil...give it a window and some water and in 3-4 months you'll have your money back and then some. Even with a horribly decrepit plant.
