yeah but that was just one link, there are more that dont include the bulbs which are about £60-70.

trust me i tried on a budget and learned the hard way, i made reflectors bought near on 400w of cfls and got 44g from 4 plants on my first try. then i thought fuck it, bought a 250w hps and got 70.9g from one plant :) lights make all the difference and so does your equipment. the foil turkey trays make pretty good cfl reflectors especially when using the larger watt ones.

also with cfls i dont know if you looked into it properly but the best lumen to watt ratio is on the 23w/26w - 45w bulbs. its better to have 20 small bulbs placed all around the plant rather than just 2 big cfls above it

£60-£70 is still a lot of money for someone who is using the benefit system. Job Seekers Allowance or Employment Support Allowance, they don't pay that much every 2 weeks. When I was on ESA I was only getting £126.49 every two weeks.
