attic grow

[liam15]

hi, im planning on starting an attic grow, but i have been trying to think of ways to make it as stealth as possible.
so since the helicopters scan for heat using ir (infared) beam that cannot pass through led. could i get led tiles on my roof and be invisible to the helicopters?
or line the inside of the attic with somee form of led?

thanks for any help

forget the 'infra-red beams' etc bullshit ... Im not even going to explain, but forget it ... your only worries in an attic grow is HEAT ... attics typically become ovens in even warm weather ... overcome the heat issue, and dont worry about the rest ... good luck ... :jointsmile:

Or you can line your attic with thermal blankets or insulation.

just buy a hydro hut and use the cool air from the house to cool the hydro hut..its very easy and not that hard....

:wtf:

It's also very unhard and pretty not at all uneasy. Perhaps he was employing a bit of linguistic comedy.

as i was not to sure if my attic had vents i asked someone i know about getting vents fitted, and they said that i wont be able to get it done as it will leak and flood the house.
just wondring if this is true, and if i can get vents fitted, who can i get to do it?

thanks in advance

Flood the house from what? In theory, if you simply cut the siding to size and fit a vent into place, rain water can seep through the siding roll down the paper and get to the wood instead of continuing all the way down to the weep screed at the bottom.

So technically you should cut back the siding enough to flash the vent properly then redo the siding. But you're not going to do that, and in all likelyhood you will never see a problem.

Was that what your friend meant?

[liam15]

no idea what they meant i just understood he was saying theyd leak, i have no sides on my roof so the vents would have to be on the arches

dont put lead in your house. it totally moots the point of lead free paints, toys etc.

helicopters aint gonna look at your house, and even if they do, its gonna take more than a couple dozens plants and several killowats of light
