i have read alot of posts stating it is not a good idea to grow in the attic due to the police heicopter and due to the temp problems but it might be ok with just 1 600watt hps running (might).

i have never grown in an attic and wish to hear from anyone who grows in their attic successfully and any help would be appreciated.

more than anything i wish to learn how one could get round the police helicopter and the temp problems.


ps: by the way just also wish to add i dont live my parents and it is my own home.
Ive been using the attic over the last three months to Flower. and I must say its been tough going. My veg period (not in the attic) was SO good, and its been a real shame that this trend hasnt continued in the attic. Its just WAY to cold, and Ive also found that the humidity in mine has been sky high. These factors have all contributed to slow growth, and small popcorn nugs. Certainly learnt my lesson there. I suppose everyones conditions are different though, and as some have said, they get on ok up there.
