high man, here's a light setup you can put together for very small money and if you use 23 and 26watt bulbs you can often find them in 4 packs for under $10.00 plus, you can also often find $3.00 rebates to bring the cost down to about $1.50 per bulb, ...these pictured all use 23 and 26watters so each fixture is approx. 200watts.
...and here's a few links that can teach you a way to grow that is very simple and simple is a good place to be when first starting out, ...there will be plenty of time in the future for you to complicate things, lol.
...this first link is to a thread on a passive form of hydroponics that is brain-dead simple to use and because it's passive, there are no pumps or other hardware that can fail, ...in this thread the growing medium is a perlite/vermiculite mix but i and many others prefer straight coco, it's similar to soil as far as working with it.

peace, bozo
