Hey Weed,

I know it's hard to tell but right at the top of the PVC is actually AC Ducting and I think the homebuilder used 1x1's to encase it just to get the sheetrock on. I did consider it but I can't tell what kind of stud is up there. When I went up to the attic the AC Ducting was buried in insulation and I'd have to spend half a day clearing it all out.

Trust me, I really don't wanna chop em. But I have until July/August to get a grow completed. I quit smoking for my wife's pregnancy to support her since she had to quit too.............but after my daughter is done breast feeding I plan on smoking something
