Hello. I'm a new user to this MB I used to frequent the Overgrow forums but those were long since shut down. I was hoping to get some advice.
I've grown in grow boxes, and guerilla grows before but having since recently moved into my own new apartment I've decided to set up a grow room. Originally I planned on using my closet (roughly 2'X5'X9'), but recently I have stumbled upon a hidden attic.
My attic is covered in dust and dirt, and is reachable by climbing through a panel in a hall closet. It's covered in insulation (white soft shavings) in between the wooden studs. It has cross beams but other than that is ideal. It is around 30' by 50' by 8' (not factoring in the wooden cross beams.) There isn't any readily available access to the outside air, but you can hear noises from outside very well and there is a mild draft.
Some light peaks through the center of the ceiling (it's a slanted /\ type roof) through some kind of plastic weather protection. I was wondering
if an attic like that (dirty, no floor just insulation in between wooden studs and cross beams) would be able to be converted?
I think the air isn't too stale because the roof walls itself is thin because it isn't insulated (there's a mild breeze and you can hear the outside very well), but I don't have access to the outside air(short of sawing some holes I suppose) would that be a good enough environment to grow in?
I always have the option of using my closet, but I'd prefer the roof for space/secrecy.
