Full Version: Can Any1 Help?
hi i have a small attic that i want to put to good use the highest point is 1.2meters does anyone have any suggestions as to the best method for setting up my first growroom, with my hight resrictions. cheers
1.2m is not impossible to get some decent growth. Flower early- cuttings tend to be more controllable. Go for an indica and of they start looking like stretchers, tie the branches down. If you have a HPS bulb (recommended for flowering )your only prob will be the the distance between the tops of the plants and the bulbs- I like to keep a minimum of 500mm. Good luck.

nice 1 ed i was perhaps thinking about scrogging, i'll have a bit more control on the hight then
I grow with exactly that hieght in my loft...you're not my neighbour are you ? 
I run a 400 watt bulb and if I tie down and train my plants I can grow anything in there including full on sativas which stretch like buggery.Learning to train/tie/top or whatever method you want to use will be vital because with your height there are very few strains you could grow to their full potential without topping/training.
Have a look Here for info on training plants.
You'd be well to start off with something Indica though to make life easier.You'll need at least a 100mm extracot, ideally a 125mm.Also you'll need to look at insulating the loft as it will be cold in the winter and hot in the summer.You'll need some kind of heating in the winter I suspect.
I''d say have a look through my diary in my sig but its pages and pages of random shit that'll be of little use to you.. my first coouple of diaries are here and Here ...they may be of some use...quite probably not though

Scrogging I think will be the way forward for me as well- the uniform canopy keeps the light on all the buds more or less equally as well as giving height control> theres some awesome pics of scroggs on here if you put a search in
