lol dude, if you throw our advice out the window saying you dont have the money, than what the hell kinda advice do you want? "get a job"? i mean cmon, to grow you need good equipment which costs money. a 400 watt hps system with ballast included is about 130 on sale, so without that kinda money your not gonna get full wattage. good luck with the cfl growing but it wont make the branches as compact as if you knew how to LST while using a proper hps system. sry man, its gonna start skimpy and end skimpy unless you invest. good luck though, hope you get a few g's off it =]
