well the cheap ceramic light sockets are around a buck.They are the genral contractor sockets for like closets and unfinished basement.You daisy chain them with wire from one sockets screws to the next and the next and the next then at the end you hook your extension cord you cut the feamle end off.SO tyhat wat 6 sockets 1 extension cord and some electrical wire maybe $18 then 6 Y splitters and that will give you 12 sockets then just plug it in.Id use a length of 2x4 to mout the sockets on and then 2 eyes and some hooks with chains and your done

Go to the thrift store and find a bathroom vanity I got one for only 2 bucks. I then went to walmart and bought some y stockes for 1.57 each and a 6' extention cord $1.89. The bathroom vanity holds 6 bulbs so with the y adapter 12 bulbs. Go to walmart or if you have a dollar store go there for the cfl bulbs. The ones you will want for vegging will be daylight blubs these cost a bit more, two for 7 buck.

heres my advise, find a dumb friend & offer him $50 if he can supply you with a 400watt HPS light, then point to one outside (they are everywere) and say to your friend "oh look theres a 400watt light", then walk away slowly winking at him.
