Summertime heat control ideas

ive been growing out in an attic in my garage its easy to access and no one can see up there. but in the summertime it get very hot i plan on running only 12/12 in there with the lights on at night but i know heat is still going to be a huge issue since there is no ventilation up there. so thats why im asking if anyone has any good non noticeable ideas that can work real well

which medium will you be growing in?

im going to grow in soil perlite mix

no doubt its gonna get hot and dry up there; maby you can get a fan to bring in some fresh air to them from ducts.

do you think if i put a exhaust fan somewhere at the top of the roof it would help

like if i took this and put a fan in it you think it would keep some of the hot air flowing out

Do you live in the states man? Cause if so, thats the kinda stuff the choppers look for. If anything get a fan pulling fresh air in from the outside. Don't vent your grow room to the outside cause then it is just completely obvious to anyone in the chopper. They look for large amounts of heat to come out through a vent tube like that. Wait a minute at my house my dryer vent comes up through the roof. If you could put it close to it then that might work.

Btw I am setting up my attic op right now. I am so excited about getting started again I'm practically sitting on my hands to stop from already germinating seeds and throwing them under the cfls my legal plants are under lol. Hope you figure everything out. You got a grow journal?

got one but cameras are pothead haters so no updates

earlier todday i read a thread about an air cool, just buy a cooler, put some ice pack in it and change them out on a regular basis, then put a few vents that will run the air through the cooler, if you put this set up next to ur grow then it might help keep the temp down, keep an eye on the humididty tho

I'm sure I'll have the same prob... building an attic grow, so heat will definitely be an issue... luckily mine will be a licensed grow, so heat sig won't be an issue... I just want to make sure I'm not stinking up the neighbourhood and attracting grow rippers.
