How many and what kind of plants are you thinking of growing? I have grown thousands of plants in the basement using ordinary cool white fluorescents. I only grew vegetable plants, usually 10x20 inch flats, 48 plants each. Get some ordinary 4-bulb T8 fixtures at the big box and suspend from adjustable chains over a table. You have to keep the lamps right over the plants, like 1" away; raise as the plants grow.
For easy to transplant vegs like tomato start the seedlings in a covered pie pan or something and then transplant to flats later. You can germinate without light, but as soon as they start to crack the surface move under lights.
You can use special grow tubes, or T5 fixtures for more efficiency but I don't think it's worth the cost for homeowner use. Just keep the fixture clean and replace bulbs as soon as output diminishes.
