I bought a mh light that they use in warehouses / stores 400w for 30 bucks on Craigslist, just needed a plug. Look on there, there's also Facebook Marketplace and the buy&sell groups in your area, maybe offerup/5miles and if you know how to haggle you can usually find really nice things for cheap. Before all of that you need to crop it, and I would take maybe a quarter of the big leafs off a day, some from the top and mid.

That's a good idea about cropping it in stages instead of all at once. I'll have to do that.
I have a 400 watt metal halide light and ballast that works, but I don't want to use it in the room where the plant is, it generates so much heat that I would have to set up some kind of ventilation system to get rid of it. If I had a dedicated grow room, I could set all of that stuff up, but the room that the plant is in is also used for other things.
