What if theres no outlets near my setup for lights?

I am confused about growing indoors with lights..... i have an attic with a secret loft in the back that is PERFECT to grow in. Its very cool (chilly air), its dark(so light will travel quickly), and its hidden from my guardians. i am willing to spend at least 200-250 on lights,wires,and seeds. Buddys spotting me 100$ to get this operation up and going.... i have not checked yet but what do about the whole lighting situation. I have not set lights up before and i have limited experience doing so. there are no lights up in the loft, i am 85% sure there are outlets that do not have the white paneling on or the jacks to plug anything in. If i am wrong about the outlets being there. there are lights in my attic that maybe i could run another wire to or from then run the wire into the next room and then hook up some cfl's or something in there?. OR if there are any other ways of getting electricity to the loft without cutting into other light systems feel free to give me some advice. thanks.. sincerely robert

ALSO i can post pictures later on today which i will do and ill reassure if there are outlets in the loft or not..

im not sure who invented the extension cord but im sure he can help you.

is there a light for that space

i am trying to hide this from my gaurdians. if there is an outlet up there what type of lights would i have to use?

Hidden from your guardians? So you're underage AND you're growing without permission in a home that isn't your own?

no thats the bad thing! , theres a light outside the little door to get into the loft,

nope, not parental gaurdians. im 18 so im not underage.

your parents will only SEE the fact you can risk their home and well-being seeing as its their home. other than that more power too you.

Why would you need guardians?

i live with them, there my aunt and uncle. i cant afford my own place. it dosent matter where im growing... it just matters that im 18.... if u want to keep going on about how i live with guardians? do not comment back please. i just want to know what kind of set up i could go about doing with an extension cord like buddy said.

dont think anyone will help do shady stuff and make the rest of the community look bad. you dont seem to have exp so i wouldnt even advise touchinbg the wires. and atticks are the3 worst place to grow in by the way, to cold in winter and to hot in summer and full of bugs

a night light on an ext cord. no real lights should ever be run like that

I'm just asking simple questions to get some clarification. I'm not going to help you with placing someone else's welfare in jeopardy. You seem a tad defensive? "She doth protest too much, methinks."

Have a nice thread.

Not to mention that's where most fires occur when growing indoors.

Don't grow in their house without their permission. Thats just wrong.
If you are going to be a grower , be a responsible grower.
