Hey newbie, i'm in the middle of putting a grow into my attic. I thought about builing walls and lining the inside of the roof, but it seemed like a hell of a lot of work, laying the flooring up there was bad enuff, so for now at least i've decided against that. I was looking at getting a grow tent but like you i've not got a lot of headroom, about 5 feet at the apex, and none of the tents i've seen would fit. So what i've done it get a regular grow house from b & q and cover the frame with light proof sheeting. It's saved me a lot of money, £20 for the grow house £5 for the sheeting, and a lot of hard work too. It's just metal poles that slot together. Might be worth thinking about?
Any probs with heat you have will be lessoned if you use the 300w instread of the 500w but your yields will most likely suffer a little. I'm gonna be a chicken and get an envirolite, i know my buds won't be as potent but i've seen some good results with cfls and wanna save my self the hassle of fighting the heat. I know i'm lazy lol
One question i've got for you is how are you getting power up there, did it already have a light and sockets? i'm just running an extension lead up there at the minute, but i need to make sure thats gonna be ok when i hook up my lights and fans.
hudson88 Reviewed by hudson88 on . Urgent attic setup help hey peeps, Need some advice on my attic setup please. I've been growing in my wardrobe, but got to the stage where they are too big so i need to move em into my private attic. I've been growing in hydro, under 3 x 15w fluorescents & 3 x 60w incandescents. (see attached pics). Thing is, I need to build some kind of enclosure, cause the attic floor is covered with fiberglass insulation and I dont wanna be smokin glass fibers (cough)! The attic is small, 4foot tall at the apex, by 4 foot wide, Rating: 5
