With an attic space, 3-10 footprint, the biggest issue has always been controlling heights for the footprint edges, due to the triangular roof shape. Nets help ofc but it's still a pain, along with angled light positioning.
I was thinking of vert against the triangular back wall. The dimension would be 10 wide 6 high, a triangular shape but still 30 sqrf. The idea was to cover that dimension with a vertical triangle net, some 6-8 inches away from the back wall. The pots would be placed next to that, in a row of 3 or 4, depending on sizes. In front of the first net, about 8 to 10 inches, would be another net. Essentially a double net system with the pots in-between.
I figured having two nets like that would enable me to fill in the space more, any gaps in the front net can be covered by the back net, as to not waste light. Air circulation ducting would be placed at the back of the wall net (within the 6-8inch gap) to suck air out from between the wall and the back net. Leds ofc hung vertically, in a 1-1-2-1-1 layout due to the space dimension. A tower fan or two will also be used, but they will have to be behind the leds. I wonder if that will simply mean too much hot air and humidity will then get pushed into the canopy?. The ducting behind the back net will be a 3 way splitter hooked upto an independent extractor fan down low pushing air back toward the tower fans, if you follow. Likely a 6" on full, but it maybe isn't going to be big enough?, 8" inch constantly on full flow will just be too loud I feel. Hopefully you can see what I mean.
Would this simply lead to heat stress/humidity pockets/mold?. I do not have the width to do it another way, access ally is needed.
