Thanks for posting again. I think im gonna get that light. It seems you are proving that new generation LEDs can grow bushy thick stalked plants. Do you feel like the light is living up to all the hype on the HTG website? Could your plants really grow right into it without burning? Thanks...
thanks bro. I was gonna do all those things. The pasive intake from a cooled house room was an idea i have been kicking around but i was hoping it wouldnt be necessary.
I have built a fairly well sealed and insulated 5x5 attic grow room within my attic because I love homegrown citrus. It probably will get up to 120 in there mid summer. My question is will a portable ac unit be enough to cool just my room? I will have a nice exhaust fan. Its sealed well with...
interesting temp difference. I was wondering how that would work out. The christmas decorations in the last pic crack me up. Im with you on the grow room build getting annonying. I just want to get my light, soil, and seeds. Get to the fun part.
bryan228,
I am very interested in your exhaust setup. Please take a lot of pics. The heat is also my primary concern. However, with your impressive insulation, and if you seal the room well, I think you will be fine. I think an ac unit is necesarry but most can cool a 300sq ft room and we...
I am working on an attic room and wanted to know if thea portable AC's built-in 150 cfm exhaust fan would be enough to exchange the rm. The space is 6x5x6, but not really cause the roof is pitched.:confused:
has anyone done this?
I was also thinking of attaching a carbon filter to the end of...
I am starting an attic grow and have come to the expensive conclusion I need an AC unit. I was hoping to use a portable AC unit placed in the grow rm to then vent the air thru some venting and out of the room past a carbon filter. Has anyone tried this? Would it work? The room i built is...
bryan i just started a much less impressive but very similar attic setup. I live in a very old house and do not have access to the venting and wiring you do and am very concerned about the heat also. I also tried to insulate using reflectix. I was hoping to avoid a portable ac unit but from...
Lining the rm with reflectix.
I am hoping this protects the rm from heat as well as protecting me from the cops. Of course, it will also reflect the light well.
I am very concerned with heat. As you can see from the pics the attic is completly uninsulated or vented.
PICS--not the best way to do this but here they are.
The pics show the progression of the grow rm from dirty attic space thru framing and the beginnings of lining it with reflectix.
My setup is difficult because my attic is peaked, completley uninsulated and unvented. I have made a 6x5x6ish ft high grow room. I first lined it with black plastic and then the inside with refelctix. I am hoping this will do 2 things: 1-protect grow from attic heat buildup and bugs and of...
I think there is lots of info on here regarding heat buildup in attic grows. However, most of what I have read is anecdotal or what growers believe will work based on experience growing ing basements or closets.
Diesel do you want to trade info regarding grow setup? This may help us with...
Hello ALL!
This will be the first of many posts dealing with my first ever medical marijuana grow. I will be including lots of pics and info regarding the process and my setup.
This first pic shows the area in my attic where the grow room will be. Can't ya just see it now?
The pics shows...
Long time reader first time poster.
I am about to start my first grow in my attic. The attic is very poorly insulated and heat build up during the day is bad. For example, today I was sweating alot while preping my new room. I do not want to install or vent AC. What are my options? Is it...
