what the cheapest route to go?

I'm looking to grow around 6-12 plants but i don't have alot of cash. I need some advice on what i should buy, and how much the stuff will be. I'm not worried about seeds either. I'm looking for the cheapest way, so please help me out! (this will be my first time ever growing also)

hello!, i to am a first time grower and are also on a very tight budget,so i looked around and did a lot of research on stealth grow boxes before i came to have what i got now.i have a pc grow box,you find them almost anywhere on the internet,but if you dont have the cash just find a non working pc tower with front and back side panels,open it up scape everything and go from there.if you would like more of an idea of what im talking about i have some pictures in my album just click on my name and go to my profile.i hope that gives you somewhat of an idea,its really just a personal question to yourself,just how far are you willing to go for the herb.this isnt just some cake walk man it takes a lot of patience and alot of down time to plan and excecute,you get what you put into it,if it doesnt sound like your cup of tea thats not a biggie growings not for everybody.

thanks man that actually is good idea with the pc box. What about the lighting tho thats my biggest concern about this whole thing. I'm not sure what kind to get because well its my first time. But ive got ALOT of downtime. I actually just sit at home most of time cause i don't really got much to do :-o. I've got plenty of patients.

Ok 6-12 plants will never ever have a chance in a PC grow. the cheapest way is CFL lighting but if you can get your hands on a 600w HID light your much better off but then you have to counter heat etc. so cheap wise go CFL there is a very good forum on here that will help you out.

ok i went out on garbage night and found 3 lamps i took out the light sockets,i scraped the tower lined it with mylar and wired the 3 sockets to the exsisting power supply on the back of the tower,im using 3 100watt energy saving cfl(the curly ones) i found mine at family dollar and walmart for no more then 5 bucks each,if you cant afford that get 3 60watts for 2/3$ each depending on where you go.i have 5 plants growing in mine and there doing very well,i also saved the fans from the tower and used them for exhaust and intake,i just wired those to an old cell phone charger,so in all i have to exposed plugs but at the same time i have an old cell phone plugged in to a charger and the charger is hidden in back to appear as if it was charging.get creative man the world is yours.
