lmao mate can i ask u a question, shud i grow in the loft or in a bedroom??,
it would be alot better for me to do it in the loft as it means i dont need to use one of my rooms and i dont use the loft for anything anyway + its not easy to get up there so no chance of someone stumbling on it, but that said id rather not make it ontop asfar as thermal imaging is concerned

No it won't but I CHALLENGE you to try and keep it at the same temp as without kit and you'll find it near on impossible unless you go sealed room with CO'2 enrichment and water cooled hoods with water cooled exhaust.

To keep an attic at 27 after adding 6000w odd of lights, you are going to require one HELL of a lot of equiptment to do that, be it as said, watercooled lights, or one fuck ton of air conditioners, and those are gonna be thousands and thousands of extra watts on your electricity bill. A single small AC unit is going to be 2kw as it is, let alone many of em or ones big enough to cool an attic in the fashion that is required.

It makes no difference WHERE you grow,only the heat is a problem.

Don't try to board out your room with insulation because over time the thermal radiation WILL permeate to the external surfaces showing up under a FLIR image (unless you go water cooled at massive expense) .

Get a tent and create a room within a room venting your exhaust somewhere else (the rest of the house as long as you can keep humidity in check to prevent mould growth) and you'll never show up on FLIR.
