That would have been a hell of a lot cheaper than the rinky-dink grow room I ended with. I tried to go "cheap", too. Twice. I could have had a small greenhouse for what it cost. Even it you have to grow under florescent lights for a grow or two and settle for just a few oz's in order to get better equipment it's worth it.
Right now I have one 4x4 room with 10 T8 tubes. It's all part of an experiment. These plants have been severely abused, intentionally, just to find "real" answers to problems. The current test is fixing over-watered plants in fabric bags. I'm taking all the "suggestions" and trying to run a side-by-side test with six plants. Had to water them all a couple nights ago and that put a kink in the side-by-side but it will get straitened out.
But back to the lights. These T8's are growing plants. The plants are flowering. And there will be a couple oz's of bud. What might be a good idea for a, let's call it a low dollar grow, would be a perpetual grow. Auto Flowers with T8's or better yet T5's running 18/6. Plant 2 seeds every 4 weeks. Unless you have a really big need this could maybe keep a couple people supplied.
Drop 10 cents into a can each time you fire up and next year buy a first class setup. If possible get a vape like the $60 Dabox. Your smoke will probably last twice as long as burning the herb. Something about vapor and heat. One hit rattles my cage about like half a joint.
These are only thoughts that may help with lights and equipment, but remember, the florescents are only a temporary work around.
. Legal in Oklahoma. This is the most enjoyable garden I've ever had.
