I'm only planning to grow 1-2 plants. I'm using a box which is 19 in (height) x 15.5 in (width) x 12 in (depth). I'm going to cover the inside of the box with aluminum foil.

My main question is about lights. I have a bunch of 23 watt light bulbs. How many would be enough for 1 plant? Also the light bulbs have those twirling fluorescents inside a glass sphere. Will those still work? I switched those for energy saving lights so now I just have them lying around (around 30...hahaha).

I only have 1 computer fan. Is this enough? Can I also just cut another hole for some more ventilation?

Smell. This is really tough because my roommates are sort of against me growing. They don't mind me smoking, only if it is in the bathroom. But they are a little questionable about growing, but they said it is OK only if is just a few plants. Is putting some air freshener outside enough?

I'm going to be putting the box inside this attic where the insulation is fluffing out. Will there be any chance of a fire?

Thanks for all this help. Sorry for so many questions is just that I don't want to mess up because getting seeds is quite a hassle for me.
