lots of options my dude, the first thing is to figure out you grow space. Once you do that then decide on the type of led, you can go cheap quantum board from Ali baba or DIY yourself with LED strips and driver from Digikey. If your looking for something simpler then check out timber or migro grow lights that use cobs.

Whats your budget?
Whats your Grow Area size?
Do you want quantum boards, cobs or led strips?

I tried to do this cheap but it really will cost you more then if you bought a grow tent kit off Amazon. You can do it tho.
22 on Amazon for 7way socket splitter and then get as many 6500k bulbs (daylight) that you can afford like $30
Atron lamp kit like $10-15
So yes you could grow for cheap but you can get full tent kit for $400 so spending 100 or more to do a homemade grow area adds up fast. Could easily do it for 50 for first month in an end table with couple cfl but will outgrow the table after the month and will need more lights plus some soft white bulbs to flower when the time comes.
