starting with ammature lights isn't so bad, find cheap, effective lights.. that'll get the job done.

if you check out the compact flouro's board, you'll see my setup with an existing shelving unit i had, all in all the lighting cost me about 60-70$ canadian. that's roughly 30 pounds.
BobBong Reviewed by BobBong on . First Time Grower... GROW LIGHTS !!! Hi, After reading through web sites I realise I need a HID light for best results, the only thing there a bit too expensive for me, around £70.00. Is there any other alternative light source that is cheaper? I will probably be growing just 2-3 plants for myself. Rating: 5
