If it's just one plant your after. Home depot have a 300 watt cfl for15$. It could get you some decent results. I used to veg with 48 in fluoro tubes ($20) at loses with bulbs. Then flower 3 plants with 4 of the cfl. Got about 50g/plant.

Thats actually 55 watt cfl, not 300. Great bulb tho. Only for flowering tho, the one sold at lowes.

Ya. It's not really 300 watts they are 6k temp. I think it's 73 actual watts. I used one for veg on my first grow. Then I switched to 4ft tubes which I liked better but you have to line your babies up from tallest to shortest and tilt it lol. Actually go get a 4 ft tube. T12 are only $10. And tubes are 5 a peice. I never flowered with them. But they are great for veg.you can veg about 6 plants with it for under 25$. And if you flower w it just get the cool whites. 3k or 2700k bulbs, another $12.

I tried a 400w sodium from home depot for $22 (usually $65-$100) everywhere else and it worked just fine. Although you still need a ballast and reflector which will cost you some $.
