First time advice for my situation please :)

window sill grow -
this might work, but you will find the plant will probably stretch after you plant it, becasue it won't be getting enough light. If you can grow it outside, that would be better.
It's pretty much like growing any other plant, good soil - water - sun light = Plant
Unless you want the sun to trigger your flowering you will have to put the plant somewhere dark for 12 hours a day to flower.

 

Yes, there is a really simple and cheap way to grow a first time plant, but it's not by putting it in your window. If you want an outdoor plant then put it outside completely, a plant in a window will produce very poor results. What you need is to get some Florescent lighting, either the tubes or little spiral bulbs. Get the ones that say daylight or 6500k color temperature. It will cost about $10 - $20 to have adequate lighting for your 1 plant, depending on if you already have fixture for the bulbs to go in to. $5 for soil, and you can start the seed in a red beer cup or anything of equal size that you can find around the house. Now you'll have a nice plant for only $15 $- 25.

 

my recommendation is buying a small cabinet and put a lock on it, buy a cheap 2 gal pot from walmart, get 4-8 CFLs at $9 for 4 or 5 pack, soil from lowes for $5 (no mg unless experienced), you really don't need nutes unless you picked soil that has terrible levels of nute

 

If he's going cheap, he won't want to buy a cabinet or anything.
You could always try a stealth outdoor grow. Find a nice little nook somewhere that gets sunlight. Grow your plant(s) until it can be transplanted to the final grow area.

 

I would stop bullshitting and go all out if your gonna grow one plant grow the best 1 plant you can grow like Concept said get a cabinet then get two 105 watt bulbs from www.1000bulbs.com/category.php?category=2086 one blue(6500K and one red(5000K) should run you 55 for both shipping included and about 60-75 for a cabinet 10 for soil about 140-150 total P.S I would go with 3 gallon containers also you can fit about 3-4 females under 210 watts of floros

 

mrtwomuchskill has it right on the mark, the local walmart i went to recently has some good savings on cabinents, i picked one up for $27, enough for one plant thou ha ha ha
