Hi
First time on this and am I ever excited to move forward. Has taken me a long time to decide to build a grow room and start the research but I have enjoyed every minute of it. I am happy to say I have found a prefect spot in my house but........... it's in the attic and I live in a ridiculously cold part of the country. Hot in summer up there in the attic and cold in winter. I have no problem buying an ac or heater but I don't want to have my pretties get stressed out by the cold for some reason?? Is a cold attic ok even though it's comfy in there? I thought I read someplace that you don't want to draw air from a room colder then 60 degrees.
And, the spot is in the attic of my garage and is a perfect A frame with the lights projected to go in the middle. The bottom of the A frame is 60" and when it reaches 8' it slopes to 2'. I hope I'm making sense..! Should I make a diamond out of it by adding panels on the bottom of the sides so the reflective light shoots up towards the bottom of the plants? Btw, I plan on going with orca.
Any thoughts?
And while I'm at it. I am the type of person that will study and make sure I am doing what I need to do (best of my limited knowledge) Should I go with dirt or hydro for first time? I will be wanting to work with clones also if that matters is this question.
So that's it for the newbie of all newbies!! Thank you so much and I've learned a ton already from you people.
Thanks
