Got to insulate and probably run hps.
Heater at night with exhaust fan connected go a temperature controller, or just run autoflowers 24/7 for easier winter temp control.

By nature an attic is designed as a "cold space". So it should not be insulated from the outside, only insulated from the home below.
An attic is the least desirable place to grow. Try and find a basement. You will thank me come summer.

Well most people fight heat and that costs more than fighting cool considering the lights will make heat. Sounds like a perfect area to run sealed with CO2. Then you don't need to vent. A dehumidifier can handle humidity. Trick will be cooling, especially in the summer. Do you have pics of the area? I would like to see if I can find another place to vent. Send as many pics of the area as you can. Do you have floor drains? Thats a bonus.

That would be helpful. You might sent pics of both spaces and we can help you determine the pros and cons.

Do you know where that duct in the ceiling goes? Is that the dryer vent? Looks larger than 4 inch but there is no scale really. The hole in the top on that cabinet, where does that go?
I cant really see how the room flows and how much space is left with the counter and cabinets, doorways and whatnot but there might be some potential there.
Are you trying to grow just for personal? Like how much weed do you need say every 3 - 4 months?

So u have a 5x4x7tall space? A sketch or full room pic from doorway would really help us help u... Also i dont kno how legal growing is there . ..but when growing in an attic and it snows, your roof will be the only one w no snow on the roof.. Many peopleget caught this exact way.
