Hi,
First off to deep end.. Kelvin value is a poor way to select lights as it averages the output without telling how much different spectrums there is. Kelvin is good when you are selecting lamp for livingroom.
plants desire bit different spectrums during veg and flower periods.
You mentioned budget issues in another post >> 600w HID with two bulps? veg and flower.
..
Now to basics.. the pic dose not tell much about the dimension of planned grow space. they would be helpful.
What is your plan to protect structure of the house (from moisture)? tent?
have you selected inline fan? and solved how to duct air in and out? you should consider carbon scrubber to control odors. actually.. dont consider, just get one!
Start with soil (cheaper simpler), I would go with organic nutrients but that is budget & desire dependent.
building a grow space for 4 plants .. you would be hard pressed with 150 buck budget but it might be done. cheap new setup from store maybe 350 bucks. Good setups are even more.. these are depending on many many things so dont hold me to them.. just giving you some guidelines regarding budget.
