Welcome Pastor. You'll find good people here, all willing to help, with minimal BS.
Since you'll be growing outdoors, you should be able to keep costs to a minimum. Since you are in CA, clones are available from the dispensaries. Not living in CA, I don't know their cost. Seeds are available through European seed banks. Cost for 5 feminized seeds is generally around $80, depending on the strain. Non feminized seeds are cheaper. Beyond the cost of seeds, you'll need some pots and potting soil to get started, and some nutrients for vegetative growth and blooming. You should be able to get setup and growing for less than $150.
As to what to grow, that's a matter of taste. There are some sativas, like Arjan's Ultra Haze #1 and #2, that can yield over 3 lbs. per plant. Indicas, of course, will yield less. I've gotten yields of 2 lbs. from White Widow and 3 lbs. from Ice growing in full sun in my garden. Five plants could potentially yield 10 lbs. or more.
I'm an experienced outdoor grower and glad to help in any way I can.
