fuk man you give out bad mojo, hes been working on it for a while its not even finished yet, hes taking his time to do it right........ not even a tease just have wait for the room to be finished and then one of the best attic builds will up and runnning i am looking foward to it and its not even my attic .... so go smoke a bowl and chill out
Thanks Hulk. And no, I'm not in jail. Just been busy. Had to have some minor surgury, nothing big. But its been hard to move around.
But i got my cloning and mother station finished! And got some mothers and a couple clones up there already. the flower room isnt done yet. The fans are hung.....and that was a bitch. My wife and I hung them 4 differnt ways. The sound and vibration was just horrible. It was stressing me out big time. It sounded like a big rig was right outside our living room. So we hung them from wire and that seemed to do the trick. Nice and quiet now. I'll post some pics tonight. Just kept on forgetting to bring the camera up all weekend.

Wow, you've done some amazing work man. I'm just about to start something similar and you've really laid down the blueprint for how to do an attic room right. My approach has been similar to yours although I'm genuinely stumped on the fan/filter scenario. Not sure what exactly is going to provide sufficient cooling/air moving for the attic temp's to be ideal for growing. Keep us updated, this thread has definitely served me well so thanks a lot for that.

nice with the fans bryant, hope all is well with the operation and hope they gave you some decent painkillers, if you don't take them I can give you my addy. Keep us posted with the latest pics!
LOL, yeah the growing part will be another headache I'm sure. Already having issues with the clones. You can see them on my next post.
LOL, trust me, I know all about the heat issue. So far so good, but summer isnt even here yet. But I got a few tricks up my sleeve. I think I mentioned them some pages back.
Stick around, I think I know why your having issues understanding the fans, filter issue. Mine will be located in the flower room. I just have to figure out a way to make a light proof vent to run between both rooms. But I got a few ideas.
Next post will have some pics. But I have to smoke one with the wife first. She gets cranky with out her weed. Give me about 30 min.
Sorry it took so long for the pics. Like i said a few posts back, got the fans hung. For anyone having issues with vibration, HANG YOUR FANS FROM SOME WIRE. I also installed drywall in the upper parts of the flower area. You can see it around the fans. I did because I worried if one my fans goes, the HPS will be sitting right next to the foam insulation, which is not fire proof at all. Got the shelf for the veg built and the lights hung. I still have to cover the outlet boxes yet with drywall, again a saftey issue. I still have to clean the area up and get some storage areas in place and get my tools down from there. I also need to pic up some more fans yet, I think I'll check out wallmart for those. I just basicly need to get alittle more organized up there.
I picked up my plants my buddy on Saterday. Got 3 mothers, 2 white rhino and one aurora indica. And he gave me 2 clones of rhino that he had rooted already.
I took 8 clones on Monday. And it looks like 5 made it, although one still looke iffy. I ripped the other ones out. And it looks like the iffy one will be out tomorrow. I'll give her one more night.

Here are some clone pics. They are from an hour ago, but I just checked them and they look alittle better then pics. I just wasnt careful enough. I left the heat mat on all day and I don't think i had enough water in there. But I really think the 4 are going to make it. No wilting of the leaves, but the stalks themselves were curved to begin with. I think they might straighten back up. This is my first time cloning. Well, I cloned 3 others about 8 years ago. I just used vermiculite in a plasic cup. I do remember they took forever to root and grow. You can see the iffy clone in the second pic. LOL, seriously, its perked back up since I took the picture. It's kinda cool how you can see a plant react over the course of an hour.

Hey bryant check my thread on how I clone... I've had success with those brown peat things but its alot easier to regulate water in the rockwool. and if you trade they can be put in either hydro or dirt
peaceThanks man. Just need to get this cloning shit down first. So far so good.
