CFL's are the most inexpensive lights to do a starter or learning grow. The more cfl's you use the better.... You will need wind circulation, and probably a way to keep the plants growing around 75 degrees.

Do a search on diy cfl to see how to put together your lighs.

You can flower with cfl bulbs. You'll need warm white bulbs, rated at around 2700k (which you will find written on packaging somewhere) and plenty of them.
For veg you'll need blue white bulbs, rated at around 6400k. :bigjoint:
