light (watts?) --- cheap light, probably 400watt hps? £125
fan ---- £5 - shouldnt need a very powerful one.
fertilizer --- couple of quid. go for a 2-1-1 mix
pot --- couple of quid. I think you need 2 gallons for every foot of plant height.
seeds --- about £40 for some decent stuff, maybe £20 on the cheap?
good quality soil --- again, a couple of quid.
and other stuff like sprayer ect --- maybe get a ph tester, I find this useful, otherwise you should be set with that. The lamp is expensive, you might be able to find a cheaper one. If you get a low powered lamp, then get some Mylar or equivalent reflective material - really puts available light to the best effect.
Best of luck
