Growroom

OZZ · 11-09-2009, 03:16 AM

Hello smokers, it's my firsty post here ;d, so lets get to it.
I was going to build a growroom for 4 plants in my attic, but I just measured a temperature there and it goes down to 7.8 C (around 46F), so I guess it wont be possible to grow anythin there without heating??
So then I've changed my miind and I'm looking forward to build it in my bedroom and keep mother along with young clones in a very separate box (MH light). Does it sound reasonable?
Also how big should the flowering box be if it would have to fit 4-6 plants (probably AK-47

?

You will tend to get extremes of temperature in the attic, both cold and hot. Also if you have HID lights in the attic this may show up like a sore thumb through an IR camera.

Ignoring security, in theory you could have the lights on at night, so the temperature is raised when outside temps are cold.

IMO best to build a cabinet in the bedroom.

You may be better off cloning and mothering under flouros than MH, less heat issues and cheaper to set up.

Don't forget ventilation and odour control (ie fan and carbon filter) for the flowering cab.

4 - 6 plants? Maybe a square meter. The more height you have the better.
