The grocery store has been my best friend while growing. First. you'll need a lighting arrangement. If you wanna go cheap then some T5 Fluoro tubes will work fine. Get about 4 of these over your two plants. You could also go with CFLs which are a little bit more expensive. You need to look at lumen output and actual wattage. generally having 3000 lumens per square foot around your plants is a good idea.

The cheapest and easiest way of growing to date would be soil. buy a huge bag of soil and just plant your babies once you've germinated them. you'll need a PH testing kit to test your water before you feed them, and a moisture meter is very helpful in telling you WHEN it is time to water.

like userfriendly said though, the growfaq has a lot of info, pm me if you don't understand part of it.
