Attic grow advice

Had to move and long story short setting up my tents at the new place is a challenge I have an attic walk up there's inoculation but its still pretty much same temp as outside whats the best way to create a grow space without spending few gs on a room

Rhode Island by the way very cold and hot and humid in the summer time

Inoculation= insulation

Hey Budgoro,
After doing a little research on this subject on this site I've found out, tents will not work up the attic because it will be hard to hold the desire temperature.. I ,myself is also planing on building a small room up ..

I am finishing my an heated attic room and will be starting a second grow. Im not sure how to link to a grow journal but I will be updating mine to show how I did it. In general I built a false wall 4 foot off the back (Not an expensive one just enough tohold insulation - If you picture what you need to do is instead of a tent it is going to be and insulation tent), One side is Veg other is flower. I bring air in from the soffits of the house and it vents through the peak. For Temp control I bought a 15$ simple plug in device that turns a vent fan at 78 and off at 70. The lights will give you almost enough heat, but you will need a small space heater on the floor to keep the bottom warm. If your interested I can give you more details. I live in Northeren Ohio, Pretty much doing the same thing.

So should I stud it or will a roll of plastic work ?? Not sure how to go about it still

Gonna be 400w that's all

i would do some type of framing dose not have to be built like a house but you will need insulation. i would do black plastic out side then insulation in between framing then do a white plastic or mylar inside. if you just do plastic it condasate on the in side. could drip on thing you dont want to get wet like hot bulbs.

So maybe drywall is best or osb with Mylar attached

Gonna start building after my next harvest that's when the move is happening

yeah osb would be fine and gives something to hang things on fans shelf just be careful water will make osb expand

Make a frame then use some Kingspan for the walls/ ceiling, works a treat. Holds in the heat well and is already covered in silver on one side.
