You can get good results with fluorescent lights. You'll need to adjust the lights close to the plants as possible/ chains,pulley rope, or use something to prop the plants up to the light with in inches. you lights "Read the box should have a light spectrum of 2500 for veg and 6500 for flower. use most lights to start with in the 2500 with a few 6500 mixed in opposite when flowering. paint the inside Flat white. Fans can be purchased at radio shack computer type (they have AC or DC fans). AC is easier, just cut a cord off a old broken appliance and use it to wire it up. home depot sells in line duct fans. They are harder to mount. you'll need one rated at lest 80 for the amount of air it moves. you'll need a hole for air intake air. both will let light out so look up light traps . you intake hole has to be as big as the fan. 4 inch circle is 25 sq inches :I think Smell will be a bigger problem in flower stage. you can make a carbon scrubber but you will need $$$ for a fan strong enough and $$$ for the filter. or you can vent it else where basement . vent it into a box in the box is a bucket filled with a strong cleaning product or air freshener. or you can simply place one of these on top of the box. Homedics BRT-150 Brethe Air Revitalizer (goggle it) that will cover the fan noise and help mask the smell. Keep the grow small one or two plants will also help keep the smell down. you might place an inch of carbon at the bottom of the planter under the dirt also. Good luck All you need is non chlorinated water. let it sit in an open bucket for 24 hrs if its city water. Some N fertilizer and some P fertilizer for flowering. The hardest thing will be keeping you mouth shut about your grow. No matter how great the plants look or how great the box is. Do not tell your best friend. No one. don't take it out of the house and you'll enjoy years of gardening. if you indulge with a friend tell him you got if from a guy in the park. Happy growing let me know how it go's
