Dude, you need to consider if you can do a HID grow. Its easier, faster, and the results are generally more impressive. A HID system costs about 150 more or less, from htgsupply.com. Now, I assume you smoke weed, thats 40 dollars a sack man. Thats only 3 sacks of weed for a peice of equipment that represents the main investment in growing unlimited weed for yourself indoors. Just something to think about.....
I mean, if its garbage day, go grab everyones aluminum cans around like 2-4 blocks with your bros, watch out for homeless dudes that look tough, and collect aluminum. I know its ghetto but you can get the cash to hook yourself up with the light overnight bro, no need to bitch about no money, just score.
Edit: ok sorry, stoned, step 2. Google recycling centers near you on gmaps. Then call em up and ask what they are paying for aluminum. They pay mad money for junk, sorted metal is worth more and aluminum is worth way more by weight. All your buddies that drink beer should collect too. I turned in 2 grills my neihbors let me have and they gave me 35 bucks.
