You could look around at your local craigslist if your in a major city you can usually find pretty nice deals on there. I suggest going out any getting a few CFLs (with the blue spectrum, 6500 wavelength) if your down to your last plant and want to spend time looking around for the other components for your light. That should do the trick until you find the other part your looking for.

Check this setup out... It's a 150 watt hps kit for only 70 dollars. That is the smallest wattage you will most likely find on any grow related site. To grow properly with an HID you will need at least three items for the lighting setup.

Bulb
Reflector ( to make the lighting more efficient)
Ballast ( used to power the setup, can be either internal or external buy try to go with external since you can store it out of your grow space to cut down on heat. Speaking of spaces, what size area are you looking at putting up?
