It all depends on what your requirements are. It's possible though, with a little scavenging and some luck. If you could provide a list of what you do have, maybe we could help point you in the right direction. If budget is a concern, an outdoor guerilla grow might be the best way to go. That's how my friends and I used to do it, worked pretty well for a long time; but, time is against you now and without serious irrigation, I doubt weed would survive to harvest in north texas. If you're interested, I'll give you more details of how we worked it.

im just talking about spending $50 on the materials like the pots,lights that will get me started right away on growing im not worried about the soil that can be picked up at the store and seeds i already have that taken care of.....and im just growing it in a small closet...my goal is to plant dro and corn i have seeds for those types taken care of already but if everything works out and grows correctly within the first couple of months im also gonna buy into some other types of seeds!!!!!!

Well, if you're planning on growing cfl from seed to harvest you're gonna need quite a bit to get any results, use a few 42 or 23 watt 6700k cfl for veg, and then switch over to 2700k when you flower...you're gonna need a few hundred watts of cfl lighting to get results...

Well, at my local HD, it costs about $5 for 2x 23 watt...is $50 all you can spend for the entire grow, or will you be able to invest more in the future, cause it's hard to work with $50...

Ok, just get maybe 4 of those 23 watt cfl's 6700k(aka cool white or daylight spectrum), that comes up to around $10, soil just a few bucks $10 at the most, a small fan maybe another $10 and maybe a thermometer at walmart for like 4 bucks...pots...how many plants do you wanna grow, for got to ask that?

2x 23 watters each will probably do for the first 2 1/2 weeks...after that you would probably wanna double that, then you'll eventually need more...but remember fo flowering, use more 2700k(warm or soft white) bulbs than 6700k...

I'd plan on starting 4 or 5 if your end goal is 2 females - unless you have feminized seeds. I found the cheapest pots at a small garden store. They are small black and square so they fit together nicely and under a $0.50 a pop. I'd start out with a few of those so you don't waste money on filling large pots with soil on plants that might not germinate/survive/are male/etc...
Depending on your closet size and what you are going to flower them under - your final pot size should be in the 2 - 5gallon range.
Week one of their life you could probably grow all 5 with just 1 small CFL - but eventually I'd aim for a minimum of 1 23watt CFL per plant during veg.

Starting more than 2 would be a good idea, so you can eliminate males and inferior females!
