For a first time, I’d keep it simple and not buy too much at once. Start with a small amount, choose something mild, and avoid mixing too many products until you know how you react. If you’re buying from a legal shop, I’d ask the staff for a beginner-friendly option rather than going straight for the strongest stuff.

If the budget is limited, be sure to buy a pH meter and timer. Those two will help you most often.

First take a simple set: 2x2 tent, LED 150W and a good fan. You don't need extra equipment at first.
