Anyone any ideas for growing in a top floor flat?.... I heard a friend say that he knows a grower who has 3 x 600w hps suspended from his ceiling and dedicates the whole room to the flowering of his plants - dont know about in or our vents but apparently he spreads the heat about the property. Has been doing it for 6 years and has never been caught. Im venting out of a window to keep the temps down.

I have 2 x secret jardin tents (one with a big T5 and one with a 600w HPS) linked with insulated ducting to a Y piece which just aims upwards near the window and blows out near the window during the lights on period.

My understanding is that no matter what way you do it there needs to be some kind of heat exhaust and that heat has to go somewehere...

I ideally want 4 x 600w and i would even build an entirely insulated room for them and possibly use an ac unit to cool it all but the ac will still put out heat as i bought a portable before and ended up returning it. I have heard the mini splits are the business but maybe a mini split or a window ac unit will look a bit suspicious on a top floor flat (not to mention how difficult it would be to fit)

Options i know of for disposing of the heat are
-out the window
-into the attic
-down the sewer pipe
-around the property

What are people doing... and is it really feasilble to have 4 x 600w in a flat or should i just go find a barn or a basement somewhere (and on that note im finding basement property hard to find.........)

I have the same prob now ,just about to setup something similar , would like to know how you do it(heat issuses) mine aint top floor so ive got to worry about vibrations above and below. Bought everything i can to keep noise to min, got a balcony so i think the heat will be going out there. Im planning on doing 4-7 600hps . In two minds wether to set up a big tent ,space is 5m x 3m.

hard to say from pics nas but I would say they look like petal tops peeking out so no, if you can put the flash on when taking pic, it cuts out the yellow

ww2 - anything is possible fella, i've seen peeps vent up chimney stack but obv not poss in a flat, is there an existing extractor fan in the bathroom which could be used, also if you got a cooker hood in the kitchen that's got to go somewhere, guy next door to me (admittedly ground floor flat) has drilled or rather cut a 6" whole through the external wall with a a flappy external vent on the outside which he uses to vent his tumble drier (or so he says!). Grower I know just vents from tent to room through carbon and has the windows open for cool air coming in

cheers delsa, interesting - my external extraction at the mo is open the doors and keeps it at about 78, food for thought though.

no venting will end in mould. believe me been there redecorated that. ozone generator will kill the smell but they are pricey bits of kit. and sooner or later your going to have to get some fresh air to the plants.

Sounds good.. had'nt seem that thread before but ihad a quick butchers and some decent advice there, but most flats you cant get in to the ceiling so i go across the room with my wires then hang lights form there. Id suggest accoustic every thing if you can afford it,first time Ive used A.ducting its very very good ,got a bloody 12" jet in my other spot and thats normal ducting but houses are diff, still my upgrade A.Ducting to everything!
I also put B&Q roof insultation around my big fans boxed or round ,still in the bag just sliced to size and tape the ends up wear Gloves and LOng sleaves cause its fibre glass your playing with ..I learnt the hard way:) No fun at all.

There are indeed some dappy people out there :D Never taken a compromising photograph with a mobile phone.


What's the legal rules on haloween? They are blackmailing me in my own doorway, am i allowed to smack em? Maybe i should ust sit on my balcony with some smokes and some buckets of water :D Change it all around, they knock on your door and if they don't hand over their sweets you trick the crap outta them.

Lying in bed after a smoke, 2 hurs work in a spot and then that's me done for the week :) Was rather bemused to wake up to have an email stating my courrier delievery time to the hour instead of to the day.

Not saying there isn't, it just looks like you have some REALLY thick stems in there, i'd have thought the stem top right would be a few grams at least.

Give us a smoke report thoough, i enjoyed the church but found i biu;t a tolerance rapidly.
