You need to study:

1. Either a degree in chemistry or chemical engineering or industrial chemistry or chemE with minor in chemistry.

If self studying:

1. The same books for chemistry majors and/or chemical engineers.

Chemistry the central science (the book)
^ is pretty good, there were some good sources on the deep web but they have gone I think. There are online communities for chemistry too which are really good..

And apart from this, you need a lot of money and a proper set up at home, one that includes a fume cabinet and maybe even a license depending on which country and how far you want to take this hobby.

Or buy them ?
 
Sorry for late reply btw.
 
I was really interested in chemistry ad researched a lot of stuff.

One website I recommend is this:

the book is "chemistry: the central science" or other college level books (look at university literature)
