$75 is pretty low. I would suggest searching ebay or craigslist for some used equipment and see what you can come up with. A month is a long time and you'll have pretty big plants so I don't think you'll want to go the CFL route, but it will work if you have to go that way.

well one of my options was to get 2 sunblaze strip lights that will put out like 4500 or 5000 lumens. im really just trying to get them a couple inches tall so that their not so vulnerable to things out side, so maybe 2 weeks in the box with with the strips?

I'm not familiar with sunblaze light strips, but a couple of CFL's or a T-5 will do the trick.
