I want to know what settup you think would sute me best, SOG, hydro, soil, ect. Thanks in advance for the help.

SOG would be the only chance with a realistic hope giving 4 feet is your limit.

Add your lights and containers and how much space do you have left???

I had allready worked It out with the light and containers, there is a 4 foot gap between the top of the pots and the minimum distance from the light. If I was to do a SOG grow how many plants should I grow and how high? Should I grow them hydroponicly? Thanks.

Well you are asking things you need to decide.

Also, what about lights, circulation, temps.

What are your plans?

[brianthefish]

I will be using a 400w hps with a large desk fan to circulate the air.

Ok....what about exhaust for heat.....

What about odor control?

How are you going to make the area completely dark? I mean are you building a box or anything or is this just a strict; plants, lights and fan type thing?

[brianthefish]

It will be in my attic so when the lights otu its is compleatly dark. As I cant drill holes in the roof or the floor of the attic I cant really have an outlet for heat. However the attic is fairly large and I try to keep the hatch open as much as I can. I have allready grown one lot of plants up there and they seemed to do fine.
