cheap normally ends baddly as things sell for a cheap price are made from even cheaper materials (so they make a proof)

it is best to think of this as a investment (saves u from buying weed possible makes u money with surplus )
i smoke a oz a month that is 300 bucks even if by from store (rounded to nearest hundred) cost of a plant for me is 90 bucks i make 4 to 6 avg using LED

few basic ?s for u
what is the size of the area u are using to grow (tent or room/closet LxWxH)
do u need to control the smell
do u have a room u can use for this (flowering photos requires 12 of darkness ) room with no windows /blacked out or a tent
what system do u want to use soil or hydro (soil is easier makes less compaired to hydro .....hydro cost more and less forgivening of mistakes )

answer those then u can fine tune the picks of stuff u need


now know one important thing about growing .........2 methods u said the cheaper of the 2
this means u need a air exchange to controll temp/rh and co lvls in your grow area .......if u pick a room/closet u might need a hole for exhaust ducting so u dump the used air outside the cycle (keeping highest possible co2 lvls) u can dump it back into the cycle but it lowers the Co2 lvls inturn u make less amount/denseness on the buds

Cheapest would be 1 seed (find some bagseed or buy a seed for $5). 85W CFL ($15) and a lamp holder ($7). Grow in a closet. No fans, no filters. Use a bucket ($1 if you can't find one going spare) Dirt outta the garden. Water outta the tap. Switch the light on and off with your finger every day. Don't check pH and don't feed it any extra nutrients.

Problem is that the grow would suck to maintain! Everything extra you spend makes your life safer/easier and helps to increase the quality/quantity of your bud.

Need to worry about stray smells? You need a fan and filter. Need to worry about noise? You need a quieter fan. Want better quality weed? Need quality soil, need to monitor it properly and feed it. Cant always be there to switch the light on and off yourself? Need a timer. Havent got a spare closet? Maybe buy one/get one off ebay (or try a tent). Is it cold? Might need a heater.

So you see without giving any more information than "What's the cheapest way to grow weed?" nobody's able to give you any meaningful answer. Help us out and give some basic info :)
