Starting a new grow room in my basement, need advice

So I have a little over $900 and I'm looking to turn my basement into a grow room. I plan to expand and add more as I go along but right now I have to make due with $900. The basement isn't finished so the walls and ground are concrete. The furnace and hot water heater are in the middle of the basement too and there is also a water drain on the floor with the ground slanted toward the drain which I thought was convenient. The basement is 16' x 19' with 6' 6" ceiling to floor. The furnace and hot water heater take up approx 4' x 5' of space in the middle of the basement.


I was planning to buy a roll of 10' x 100' 5.5mm thick black and white poly to line the walls and the ceiling. Good idea? I WAS planning on just painting them white to save money but with the condition of the walls (cracks, etc.) I thought the poly would be a better light reflector and would also allow me to divide the room in half to have separate light cycles for veg and flowering.

Lights I was looking at:


T5 Grow Light (4ft 4lamps) DL844s Ho Fluorescent

Apollo Horticulture 4' 6400k T5 bulbs pack of 5

Do you think this is sufficient lighting for me or do I need another 600 watt unit? Or should I ditch the 600w and get 1000w? I've never grown before so this will all be new to me. I was worried about the height of the basement ceilings as its 6 1/2' at the tallest and shorter in some areas. Is this tall enough for plants to grow sufficiently? I guess I'd like to know if you had a basement area like mine which seems to be 300 total sq ft but actually less because the hot water heater and furnace are taking up part of the middle of the room roughly 4' x 5' area. And with roughly a $800-900 budget to start which has to cover soil mix, nutrients, ph water kit, seeds, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated I've been reading up on these forums and looking at youtube videos and other growing guides but figured I'd post here to see if any of you professionals could give me some advice personally. Anyways, thanks! and love this website

 

Thank you for your input! I have been concerned about the heat issue, wasn't sure if I could get by with just putting some regular fans in the room but it sounds like an exhaust fan that runs out of the house would be best. I'll try to find one that is 300-400cfm. Luckily the ceiling isn't finished so the duct work from the furnace and hot water heater are exposed. I was thinking it would be possible to run some tubing directly out the same exhaust vents or make a new vent next to the ones for the furnace etc. I also live in the midwest so we are probably dealing with the same temperatures.


When you said you walled off an area about 24' by 6' do you mean with poly or did you use something else? Did you double layer it so whites on each side? Do you happen to know if the cooltube has a filtration system that eliminates odor? I just don't want the hot air coming out of my house to smell like massive chronic. I only plan on growing for myself and some of my family and since this is my first time growing ever I have been reading as much as possible so I don't screw anything up. Growing is an art I've come to learn. Makes me wish I was more into plants as a kid or taken botany in college.


Again thank you for taking the time to respond to my post.
