What is your budget?

so far $34

If you want a good system wait and grab another $80.00. Unless you want to go with fluorescent then you migh only need only like $20.00 more.

It really depends on what you want?

How far do u keep your lights from the plant?

It has always been explained to me like this: fluros are fine if you are patient enuff to let them grow.
You simply need to recreate the same lighting patterns the plants would receive from the sun. Now the sun's light contains more colors than just white or yellow, there are blues and reds as well. Fluro's come in a variety of colors, so mix 'em up, give them lots and simply follow the same light/darkness pattern as the summer season would supply.
By the 2-3rd month they should be receiving 16-18hrs of light, whereas when they start to flower, the duration of light would slowly decrease to around 12hrs each. Good luck.

/Scoot that is a fine set up there!
