Indoor Garden Hydroponic Grow Light
What is the most cost-effective way to build/run an indoor greenhouse?
I live in a small apartment in San Francisco. There is one tiny East-facing window in my bedroom, and I can't leave it open during the day because I live in the ghetto. All the other residents in the building are old, and like it warm and dry, so that's what the room is like 24/7. But I'm used to having lots of nice green plants around, so I want to build an indoor greenhouse to grow plants. Note: I don't want to grow pot, just interesting, colorful tropical plants, so suggestions for the bomb-ass high-yield hydroponic equipment doesn't help me. What is the most cost-effective way to do this? I need to build a set-up in which I can maintain high humidity, good ventilation, and lights, without trashing the environment or my wallet (I'm willing to invest some money and a lot of time 
I'd also like to have a separate section for cacti. What can I say, I grew up with a big garden in San Diego in which you could grow anything, so I'm spoiled.
Lighting is key?
That is where you could spend the most money.
And then the you should be concerned about ventilation
Then i would be concerned about fire.
Most green houses usually end up destroyed by fire.
Lighting could be too hot and there may be not enough AIR space with in the green house, materials get hot and melt, thus fire.
I would consider building it out of wood. You could probably, go to a glass place and they could make you and aquariam like green house. Rig up a door such that you have access?
Just silicone glass panes perpendicular to each other, such that you make a box? Building a wooden frame would make it easier to open and close, and to make it big too?
good luck
