Attic Grow - I know...but this attic seems perfect.

I know what everyone is going to immediately think...dude what are you doing!? It's going to be all moldy and stagnant up there! Not the attic on the new home I bought though. This attic of course has a vent on the wall at one end which is about 12" or so in diameter, but then along the edges where the roof would meet the floor of the attic, it is ventilated space and not fully sealed. I will try and post some pictures soon so you all can see exactly what I am talking about, but any thoughts?

Attic is already fully ran with power, lights, and outlets, and the beams running across will make perfect spots to hang my lights. I am going to try and run four plants under two adjustable hanging 150W HPS Lights from Sun Systems with some possible supplemental side lighting. I live in Virginia, so it does get hot here, but I am planning on running these before and after summer to try and miss the real hot months, and I think with proper fans in there it may work. We'll see.

This will be my third time trying my hand at a grow, and this time I plan on taking a lot of pictures and really documenting it here along the way, so thanks for reading! :)
 
Sounds fun man. I own a sunsystem 150 watt and use it in my tent. It does get a little hot. I've even vegged 2 plants at a time in the past and didn't have any problems with stretching. I keep it pretty close to the plants compared to what other people say with their real sized HID's tho, so it's obviously not that hot.
