first time grower diy set up

This is my first grow on my own. I built 8x5 grow room. I have used Ebb n Gro from before. Seen uc and was blew away by system and price. So I built my own using stuff from the house and work. 6 4 gal bucket 1" PVC pipe pool pump ( just for now) 20 gal Res. I have tested my setup with food coloring. I think I had a great test run all 6 buckets got about the same color as control bucket in under min and half. So far as lights 1 600watt with 6" air cooled Hood. Plan to add one more light soon. I am try to spend the least amount of money on setup as possible. So far I may have $140 into it. including everything mentioned. Plus some extra. Last grow I did with someone buying everything cost alot. We ended up spending $1200. I know right. I need any input on what I should do need to do any help. What are some good nutrition that doesn't cost alot. Dnt want cheap shit. With the 6 buckets I have how much could I yield. I do have more buckets. May do another system or just add on. After first grow am going to make grow room bigger for veg/flower 8x8 or bigger. I going to veg in Rockwell cubes working on cloner now. I thinking 6 weeks from seed then to the system for 2 week veg before 8 week flower.
