OK the $1000 Budget....
Start with photosynthesis and work your way out.
LIGHT
Plenty of grow shops in MI have fantastic prices of great equipment. I have seen more than one complete 1000w ballast/hood/bulb setups for $250-$275.
In addition to this get a timer. Get a mechanical (not digital) timer. $9 @ meijer, $12-$19 at Hydro stores. (These are in essence the exact same timer with different company logos on them)
T-12 ballast from home depot for $15-$20
Bulbs need to be 6500 kelvin. $15 for 2
I usually use "panda paper" to create my room, trap my lumens in. $50 for a big ass roll.
Air:
CO2 tank - $200 (35lb)
CO2 Regulator - $100
Box Fan $15
Water:
RO System: As little as $15
Soil
Pro Mix $40 bail
Pots (Smart pot #5 $6 each) x10 = $60
Nutes Flora Nova A & B (total less than $45)
Neem Oil: $9
PH Test and Adjuster $20
