I want to grow 2-3 small plants. Something very small since I still live at home. I try to read these threads but cannot understand 90% of the terms 
3 quick simple questions.
1) Could I just use a small wood box and let it sit open during the night and closed with lights on during the day?
2) How long does it take for a plant to grow? How much would you get off two small plants?
3) I read the newbie thread but that is even too advanced for me, any tips on understanding stuff like the soil/water mixture?
I really appreciate it!!
