Well my intentions are to set up a hydro system of some sort in the loft/attic. The area is quite big, so I'm gonna insulate and board out the full loft, as it is very cold up there at the moment. I plan to install a radiator, running water, and electric.
This is the equipment I have so far: 6 x 600w ballasts, reflectors and lamps, 2 x 150w ballasts, reflectors and lamps, 1 x dehumidifier, 2 x osculating fans, 1 x large 10" carbon filter, 1 x 10" inline fan, 1 x 8" inline fan.
I'm in the process of building a large aeroponic propagator, so clones wont be a problem. I'm thinking of building my own system, but unsure what to go for? Ideally it will be one with minimum maintenance.
There is a few things that I think could cause problems, so if anyone has had any experience growing in attics then advice is appreciated:
10" fan is very noisy (neighbour used to be the town mayor and is a curtain twitcher)
Heat signatures for the choppers to detect?
Controlling temperature?
System needs to be very stable, as leaks would be catastrophic!
Smell floating into attic next door?
Luckily we only have one neighbour, so its better than worrying about 2! But she is a right old nosey bag.
Looking forward to your thoughts!
Oh, and I have just germinated 5 big bud, 1 x confidential cheese and 1 x Afghan haze, which I will be cloning.
