Complete Beginner, Few Questions

Hey all,

I've been thinking about growing my own plant for a while now but never really got around to learning about it untill recently. I just got back from Amsterdam and smoking the skunk out there brought me to the decision to grow my own for sure. Im basically goin to run through my current idea of how to go about it, anything i am wrong about or need correcting please tell me.

I picked up 10 Big Bud seeds out there, 3 of them are now germinating now. Only 3 as i thought i would keep the work load down as im sure there is going to be alot of trial and error, so this way i can concentrate on a couple. The only place in my house i can really get away with growing is in a little loft space which is sectioned off by a little cupboard door on one wall of my bedrooom. I will be able to wire neccessary lights etc. through the wall. But will this type of loft section attract bugs such as the spider mite etc.?

Another question is about Soill and nutrition. Where i i live i don't believe there is anywhere that specialises in products needed to grow weed. I live in the UK and i was wondering what type of products i could be picking up from my local garden center to mix together? This way it looks a lot less suspicious aswell..As for lights what power am i looking at? i wont be growing the plants tall at all, looking for relatively small plants. and as it stands i dont want anymore then 2 plants.

All help would be much appreciated..

Thanks
