2nd time atempting to grow.

Hi everyone!Found this site when looking for seed pics.Anywayz I am going to give it another shot.I have been reading a little,but still need to read more lol.I am going to grow with soil.No hydro etc.I have very little space to work with.Im using a closet in my room.I thought you could grow just by using a 70-100 watt bulb.I don't want to order a bunch of stuff on the internet,or anything.I want to grow 2-3 plants.Right now im using a 2.5ft w x 3ft h pot.And im using a single 100w 1,600 lumens compact flourescent bulb.I didn't germinate the seed,just stuck it on the end of my thumb.Pushed it down about a inch into the soil.The bulb is 2" or less above the pot.If you can't tell I just want to simply grow without buying expensive light system & spending on a bunch of $$ on nutrients.Whats the easiest way to grow without spending alot of money?I heard you have to change up on bulbs during certain growing periods.What would work good for me?I can onley use ones that go into regular light sockets.Not enough room for the bigger ones.If you need to know the measurments for the closet I could get it.Thanx for any help.

The cheapest best results are going to be,

one flourescent shop light $10
(2) 4ft gro lux bulbs for shoplight $20
or save $10 and get (2) cool white bulbs

400 watt HPS grow light $160

Hydroponic nutes $30

That is what you are gonna need if you want to have a decent grow.If you wanna cut corners you aren't going to get very good results. I know many people will say go CFL all the way but trust me if you want to grow good plants this is the minimal you should be thinking about.
