Fiberglass Insulation

So my friend and I are planning an indoor veg/outdoor flowering grow this summer (our first grow), but we're having trouble finding an indoor location. The most promising location is his attic, but it turns out that has uncovered pink fiberglass insulation. Is this a major hazard? We were going to put some plywood down to make an area to work with, and we would obviously avoid kicking up any fiberglass, but there is still some particles inherently floating in the air. We would have adequate ventilation and the plants would spend their last 2 months outdoors, but it still seemed like it might be a dangerous idea. Does anybody have thoughts on this?

It should be a problem for you. Fiberglas is just glass.

I made a grow room in my attic and used foam half inch house sheathing (pink or baby blue available at Lowe/HD). Although it is primarily used on the outside of residential housing I used it as insulation on the inside of my 4x7x6 closet. I holds heat very well with a small space heater. Just make sure you check the daily forecast and adjust the heat accordingly during cool weather and unexpected warm days. I plan on adding a small window AC unit for the spring/summer months.

Finally, the foam is really easy to use. I just used sheathing/duct tape along the seams.

Good luck with the design and growing. Make sure you post pics as they definitely help with other that are confined to attic spaces.

Well, the insulation is already there (on the floor, since it's an attic). We're not growing until the summer, so I'm not worried about the temperature (except maybe being too hot).

The more I think about it, the less worried I am. I'd be more worried if I was doing the whole grow indoors, because then the sticky resin may collect fiberglass particles, which definitely would not be good to smoke. Since it's only the veg state, I don't see any reason why particles would collect or anything. Does that make sense, or am I completely wrong?

rockwool is insulation. I use it at work they call it mineral wool. Its similar to fiberglass. So if you can grow in it then how could it harm the plant?

Wow, I didn't know that. That's a very interesting point.

I think it all depends on the heat. if you live in the south fuck that. in the summer you will be doing everythig you can too keep it cool. and a nice fat electric bill from running an a/c unit.if you live in the north you might be alright . the attic gets realy hot in the summer. better use a closet temps are already cool. just my 2 cents

why dont you tyvek the area if your worried about fiberglass getting into the crops? if temperature isn't an issue, although i bet it will be in an insulated attic (just make sure to have proper ventilation), then whats the major concern? i think attics are cutty, plus you prolly have a good bit of space up there am i right? why dont you think about setting up a flowering roo m as well, that way you can blaze homegrown in winter as well..
