Building a "Bargain Base Box": Questions

Hey all, what's up? I just freshly got re-inspired to try and grow some ganj, came here to read up a bit and so far learned some helpful tips. I tried using the search function but for most things got irrelevant results, so I'm posting this as a kind of log/questionaire.

So far I've been in the Absoulte Beginners forum reading up on germination and how to start a plant off. I've also read a couple different posts about making your own grow boxes. I'll tell you this, I'm eighteen and a live-at-home stoner. It's no life of luxury and even though my dad smokes I'm sure he'd not take kindly to me growing. Stealth is the key here. I've got a couple things figured out already, such as what will be the box/placement of the box. At first I was thinking my old guitar amp, but that's an awful lot of work and a small space. So I turned my attention to my dresser, it has two sides equally sized, one is empty and the other has clothes. I'd say it measures about 2.5'Dx3'Hx3.5'W. That's a massively ample space to grow in for me.

I checked my drawers and it's a really simple layout, I unscrewed the back panel of each of the top two drawers and slid out the bottom panels. So right now the bottom drawer forms my base, which I will line with a huge black garbage bag for moisture. I was thinking of lining the dresser inside with either shiny foil or a black garbage bag, I don't really know which would be better. I'm guessing foil just because it reflects the light and then your plant gets more.

I'm germinating eight seeds of some good merch I got yesterday, I'm not going all out until I test my setup and make sure anything can even thrive in it. But I have no idea how long germination takes because the article I read didn't mention a timespan.

Now, like the title says, I'm aiming for bargain base here. I'm not growing to sell, I'm growing as a hobby, and a fun one at that. I don't have any grow lights laying around (don't think so, haven't checked, but I'm sure my dad'd miss them if they were). Best I can do is either a cluster of 75w condescent bulbs or at the very best a few fluorescent bulbs, but I have no idea where I'd pull those out of. Are there any hooptyass setups for the pothead teenager that's experimenting? I mean if this works out I'll definately step it up a bit, but the box is rather small and so is my budget right now.

Next thing I'm working on is ventalation. I was thinking if I took a couple 80-120mm PC fans and had them run pretty much constantly, that I'd be set on ventalation. But how would I even convert massive amounts of outlet juice into tiny amounts of fan juice? That boggles me, because I can't saulder and I definately am lost.

That's as far as I am. To recap:
-Germinating eight seeds right now
-Box started
-Lots of questions

 

Good call, guess I'll nix it until I can ask him.
