Nute is short for nutrient. I tried growing like you are a while back, honestly you won't really get anything with those lights-they really suck. Those spiral cfl (compact fluorescent light) bulbs are better, and HPS or MH is best. Plants need a LOT of light really. Right now this grow will be more of a learning experience than anything. Don't worry about yield, just get to know about the plant and it's behaviours, read as much as you can, look through the grow logs here , and save up if you need to. Your best bet for no budget is growing outdoors but if you're like me and in the city then it can be hard to do that unless the stars align for you. Key things to focus on for growing indoors are:
1. Space-Where are you going to grow? What's the size?
2. Light-How big's your space? How many plants will you grow there? What's the height you have to work with?
3. Ventilation-How much heat do you need to get rid of? Where are you going to exhaust to? Carbon filter? Aircooled lighting?
4. Growing style-SOG, ScrOG, natural, LST, topped, FIM
5. Nutrients
5. Results-How much are you planning on getting out of this? You can adjust variables like lights, plant count, style, and even space to meet your needs. But you need to understand those variables first.

Good luck, & stick with it! It sure is a great hobby...
