Your initial grow might vary. I have a lot of bleed over from my last grow so I usually have some nutrients left over and I'm reusing pots from previous years and it does cost a little bit more if I need to buy new pots but still I don't really think it goes much over the $500 mark.
Yeah, it's traditional harvest season. I'm in the Pacific Northwest, so a plant around Mother's Day and the harvest is late into October as I can. I would have pushed it longer because we actually have nicer weather right now, but some little cunt decided to gank one of my plants, so I'm harvesting everything now, so I don't have to worry about it.
