The tent, lights, good soil, seeds, etc. But you save a LOT of money in the long run. My husband smokes for pain multiple times a day, so mine paid for itself with the first crop.

There are some great websites about how to set up and how to grow. Be sure to read a lot before you spend the money. My first mistake was buying a lamp that was inadequate. I would up needing 3 lamps that were more powerful.

If you buy a tent that is 48 x 24 x 60 inches, you can fit three plants, along with a vaporizer. I've grown 4 plants in mine but they are just too crowded and more likely to get moldy in the flowering stage (which is a disaster!).
