Jacob,
Last year I sold tomato and pepper plants, that were nice size, in 3" containers for $2.50 and had a lot of people happy to pay that for them. Didn't really cost me much at all, a lot of the seeds were left over in the packet, a $15 bag of potting soil was enough for about 200 plants and the containers were less than a dime each. Counting electricity, the total cost was under a quarter per plant.

when you buy lighting and you want to get a certain color of light, if you will look at the package the lights come in, most of them will give the technical specs for the bulbs...
i.e. - for those that don't know what to look for when you are trying to get a specific color temperature (2700-3000K for red and the upper end 5500K-6500K for blue)..here is a shot of 4 different packages...top left is a box of 10 40 watt T-12 bulbs....notice the F40T12/DX Alto, the DX stands for daylight which is 6500K....the top right is the packaging of the new 42 watt CFLs (150 equivalent watts)...you may not be able to read the text so you will have to trust me on this one...the 42 watt CFL puts out twice the lumens a 27 watt CFL does and almost 500 lumens more than the 40 T12...bottom left is a two package phillips T12 40 watt bulbs that is 3000K and 3300 lumens...bottom right is the 27 watt CFLs (100 watt equivalent) in the daylight (6500K) color and puts out 1400 lumens...the more lumens the more light provided
