About $500 could set you up very nicely with a 2x2 tent and a 200 watt LED setup and fans, budget $200 for seeds and fertilizers and a decent pH pen (those are like $50 for quality). Grow two autoflowers at a time in staggered rotation. It would not be unreasonable to harvest 1/4 pound every 2 months with that setup done carefully.
