You roll the dice, you take ur chances, its what we all do... if i ever get busted for it though i'll get the g/f to post on here as a warning to all lol.
just dont take the piss with the lighting and you should be ok m8? plus ur a roofer dragon carnt ya get ne stuff that will super insulate the attic?
i won't be taking the piss with the lighting i plan on 2x600w hps and 4x250w cfl in the flower area it should roughly measure 1.2x3x2m w/l/h so the same size as my tent just 3x longer that's the floor space for pots giving me a little room around all sides aswell as the tent now gonna be for mums and a small clone area. with the insulation i'm thinking standard fibreglass insulation between the joists then thermal blanket to hold it all in place fixed between the joists and taped, then for the next layer which should be inline with the joists leaving only a couple of ml for breathing, then some type of polly sheeting the thickest gauge i can find the entire room will be covered and all joints in the material will be seemed in the same way your jeans are with all joints heavily taped as if to try and make the room air tight i was thinking industrial thermal lining same as thermal blanket just on a larger scale 1 layer seemed together again covering the entire roof area i'm not sure what to do after this stage just yet mate i'm still thinking i might leave it like that or maybe board over the lot and thermal line again the only prob is the shit is expensive the upside is though if i do it this way i can use all the space which will add an extra square meter or 2 on the floor, what you reckon mate?
if your not using a carbon filter i'd get 1 if your already using 1 u could try febreeze and oust air freshners and some ona gel in your grow room to try and stop the smell before it leaks out mate
how well do carbon filters work .. ill have to fit the exaust fan and filter to a box and fix it to an open window...
from what i can tell mate they work well i got mine setup arse backwards i got my exhaust fan is in the tent pumping the air out into the filter i set it up this way so that the air cools by the time it reaches the filter and i don't have to run it outside it solves the heat prob but it isn't the most effective way of using the filter and keeping the smell down when it gets hot and i leave the corner of the tent open it does start to smell but so far i,ve got away with air freshners mate
whats an air brick mate i don't think i've ever seen 1 before
sorry to hear about the damp mate i got mine in a glass fish tank making it easy to keep an eye on after this grow 3-4wks it's being vented outside, i know what you mean regarding the air brick i didn't think of doing that way mate i thought you was referring to something out of a fish tank or something lol
glad u got it mate i tried the air intake lined up with the bulb and i found for me it worked better the other way around having a small peice of ducting from the exhaust right by the light the intake lined up with it did next to nothing mate i,ve gone intake in the bottom with a 6inc fan blowing it round and a 12inc fan just above the plants with the exhaust sucking the heat out it's the only way i can keep the heat down without leaving the tent wide open
