New Grower Needing Advice
I totally agree with tiny. I would add some cfls. home depot has a socket for up to a 100watt ( which is actually like 30 watts) cfl for like 7 bucks. the bulbs you can get for about 5 each. I'm also on a budget with mine so ill tell you how i veg. i have 2, 4 foot t-12 shop light ballast from home depot (8 bucks ea) bulbs are 40watt (x4) 4500K. 3 "100" watt cfl's (5 bucks ea) with 3 100 watt sockets ( 8 bucks ea). So a rough estimate is about 70 bucks and I have had great success with veg. see attached pictures. Also you may run into some root bind issues with those smaller pots so maybe pick up some 1-2 gal ones. you can find them for about 1 buck a piece. another issue they mentioned before is also nute burn. through my experience ive learned that if you get good soil ( fox farm ocean) you dont need to add any nutes, just make sure pH is around 6.5 so the plant can absorb all the goodness from the soil. these pics are just to show you what you can accomplish from a cheap setup.
good luck
