a lighting question

yummie Registered on Jan-29-2008 More User Info Message #41237 posted by yummie (Info) February 13, 2008 11:26:35 ET if i was to grow one or two plants, what is the most inexpensive lighting i can use? i dont care if i dont get a huge yield, so long as i have some buds to smoke. im a college student, so naturally i have no money. this is the reason i like to grow instead of buy. so with that in mind, whats the cheapest lighting that will get one or two plants to grow? im desperate. or if you have some old lights hangin around e-mail me at freeshaman9@yahoo.com

(Info) February 13, 2008 12:07:04 ET i dont know if i can get clones because i just moved to NY and i only know a few people other than family that grows from seed(i can probably get a clipping from them), but i do have 5 seeds from seedbotique that were free with my order. i want to try and grow them indoor as an experiment. i just wish that lights were cheaper! i have a $450 a month rent, and i can hardly pay that.
