Attic grow pro's and con's

That too. However, if you check survivalist websites there are a lot of people who have made basements and bomb shelters from shipping containers.

...I even had a dream one time where I owned a backhoe and I would dig big holes in the ground for friends.

PC :smokin:

I just had this mental image of some guy stoned, buying a shipping container, bringing it home, and saying "hmm, this might not fit through the door." then going and getting a shovel. (shipping containers are the size of train cars)

Oh, I thought of one more thing for attic growing: don't move your plants in there until they're at least 6-8 inches tall. Seedlings are a lot more vulnerable to stress.

DOH... You must have missed the part where Paht Hed said his parents are going to build a new house so they are moving the existing house to a different location on the property.

I wish my parents were cool with it, thats why I can't do a under the house compartment... I was thinking of going hydroponic though not soil... my current grow I started a few weeks ago is dro. It would be ideal to have 2-3 strains growing in a veg room as mother plants and take some clones from there to a flowering room every few months... maybe even try crossing them if I can get some males separate. It's either the attic or I can try to turn one of the walk-in closets into a grow room using a stealth wall or something. Hell the house is on stilts so I could grow underneath it if it comes down to it... Just dig 3 foot deep 6x6 hole or something underneath... wow I must be stoned... now that I think about it thats hella hard.

as i grow in an attic...a 10 feet long...7 feet wide and 7 feet hight..theres a few ways go too...seal off the whole fucking thing....run the lights during the night to heat the place and then pull ac from a bathroom to cool the room if it gets too hot..i had this for more then a few months where the nights got to the 30's//// my 1000 watt heated everything perfectly....secondly...you can setup hydro huts to make this even better..have one fan on 24/7 to cool the lights..run cool tubes..then have the other fans to push air in and out to corect for the changes in heat..you can draw from the houses own ac system..i had it cooling a hydro hut while it was 101 degrees out side and it was 110 in my attic but the hut was a chill 78 degrees...hope that helps...
