Default a basic setup

first off you do not want to use regular lights, or halogen spot lights they are useless. if you wanna go cheap, the way to go is surely flouro/cfl. if you have 3 plants you can get yourself at 5 CFL's and be pretty well set if you keep im in a small space.

CFL's are cheap and effective for veg, and can be used for flowerin if not so much as HPS. heres my set up if your lookin for some ideas...

its a basic shop light with 2 t8 48" 32 watt, 2700 lumen, 6500k tubes, that i added 2, 2x fan light sockets and 1 single socket with a Y adapter, there are 3 23w 1450 lumens cfls, 1 27wat cfl about 1600lumens. and 2 daylight 15watt 6500k cool cfl bulbs in the Y. you can get all this at wallmart or your local home/garden store. all fairly priced. and you should get these essentials as well. a PH kit for your water, cuz you dont wanna use over ph water, and a combo humidity, temp guage wouldnt hurt. hope this helps some try to close your grow up too. and keep the lights close as possible

Ery.

btw notice how the plants stretched, thats what crap lights do, now that i got proper flouro lights they have stopped the stretching

your plants are very tall dude, and dont have many leave's at all.
not priceless but definatly should do more research on growing..Ur plants should have 3x as many leaves. ... ur plants are pretty much pure stem lol
