The temp here in north west England isn't all that good, Will plants survive growing in an attic this time of year The attic is insulated but the temp is still reasonably low in there at night still need to find the exact temp, I'm only after 4 or 5 low ryders, and the best light I will have is 400w, will that not make enough heat? Is it worth buying a grow tent? Space isn't really an issue, money is ;)

Any help would be much appreciated.


Cheers!:hippy:

What exactly is your "cool" temp? Start getting below 65F and your going to start having issues. 65f to 75f is ideal so I guess go from there

I heard there are alot of busts going down in the U.K. right now ...mostly people who grow in the attics....lack of frost is the give away according to authorities

tent might be a good idea

SNEAKY! Cool info Vaped! I agree TinyT.....anything in the 50's is too low for cannabis.

[Weedhound]

That's fahrenheit btw.......:)

[anyjungleinguy]

Lowest temp is 34.5, heighest temp is around 48.5.
So should I get a grow tent? anyone know any cheap suppliers?

Cheers

If that is fahrenheit then it wont grow .... in fact it will kill it quick like.

[anyjungleinguy]

Dang, Well would a grow tent do me any favours? Also I could put a heater in there?

Any advice, I just want a few plants as im fed up of the shit sprayed bud we get in the uk :(


Cheers

[anyjungleinguy]

With your attic space that cold, you will spend a FORTUNE heating a tent, and end up heating the attic as well, making the roof frost-free if your building is not super well insulated.
You have no choice but to move it to another part of your house, or to build a framed room within your attic that is correctly insulated with foam-board or fibreglass batting, and heat THAT. It will come with other challenges like ventilating without cooling, and you may have to run a sealed room with CO2 up there. Search for user 'tranoble' for advice on that.

Ok, I could grow in a closet in a room in the house, It was really just to use the attic for the amount of space and discreetness etc. Is waiting it out an option? The temps normally book there ideas up In about 3 months or so, Not alot wamer but still...? Im just after some AK47 x Lowryder 2, I like the idea of the short amount of time to grow. :)

As for the "sprayed weed"

BBC NEWS | England | Staffordshire | Warning about glass in cannabis (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/staffordshire/6386311.stm)

Basically, a 12oz spray can of the stuff costs about $10, Dealers lace the weed in it and sell it on, Mainly to younger people to it seems. They all think there crystal catchers on there grinders are full! But the truth is it little glass beads. Nearly doubles the weight.
Bastards... :(

Holy bat shit!!!! thats frigging insane!!! I guess thats all the more reason to grow your own

[Weedhound]

Exactly the kind of issue I worry about....being immune compromised. Grow your own and take the time, spend the $$ like Stinky says. It'll pay for itself MANY times over if it's done right and not half-assed.

good luck. Thanks for the info about the glass.....it's amazing what some folks will do for a dollar isn't it?
