It's not very difficult. I grow hydroponically, and I've kept my startup cost low by just surrounding my plant with a fuckton of CFLs. As long as the plant gets a ton of lumens, it doesn't seem to care whether it got them from one expensive bulb and ballast, or a bunch of cheap little CFLs. It's fun to grow, too. I have a cabinet literally FULL of hydroponic nutrients I got when I visited the hydro expo in SF a few years back. I can probably give you some if you want.
