I spent the last 3 days on this forum just reading as much info as i could because i want to start growing my own herb

I plan on growing 2 plants right now of just some basic reg.. Just to start off with... The seeds that I come across i plan on using to plant... So if i have like a month old seed will it grow??? Or should I just buy some seeds?

I plan on growing in my basement... Its kinda dirty and dusty down there and it smells like mold... Is this an ok place seeing that its the only place???

I plan on making a grow box about 5ft high 3ft long and 2ft in width. Will that be enough room for about 2 plants?? Maybe even 4 if i plant to grow more?? What should i make my grow box out of?? Wood?? I also plan to put an intake fan on one of the sides and put the Exhaust fan on the other side of the box higher up..

My main question is light! Will about 4 Compact Flourscent light bulbs be enough for like 2 plants??? What watts should I get??? and Can i use the same light bulbs for both VEG. and FLOWERING stage??
