You'll need a controlled environment to start germination, and a kiln to dry and stop the process in. All in all, I doubt it will be worth your while, as I'm sure you'll get a wide flux of modification levels, SRM, and water content.
I'd stick to buying malt from a professional maltster.
That said, there's nothing wrong with using small amts of unmalted grain as an adjunct here and there (unless you're brewing in Bavaria).
