Loft grow - what would you do ?

**sparky-matt** · 14-01-17, 05:18 PM

Afternoon guys,

Just looking for a few ideas really on what you would do with the space available

Only thing I would say, is scrogging is probably not an option as I wouldnt be able to get to the back / middle of the net

Ive basically got a loft to use, but its a very steep apex

As a rough idea, width approx 2m, height 1.5m to highest point, length 4m

Its all boarded out, all joints sealed, intake / extract sorted, now just to deal with the setup and plant layout

So, apart from the plant layout opinions,

Reflective sheeting, is it necessary and does it make a difference ?
Pot size for a 4 week veg time ? 10L ?

Will be using canna coco, with canna a+b, and pk13/14

Any ideas you can throw at me would be much appreciated

Cheers all

Forgot to mention, will be growing from seed, probably tch bomb as ive got 10 of them left to use up

Cheers

You want 20 ltr pots for that long
Could get 6 nice trees in there

Cheers ERBURT, appreciate your advice

6 would probably fit quite nicely to be honest, straight down the centre of the loft space

Hello Matt, Have you thought about attic tents I believe you can buy a size to suit the low height attics in a range different dimensions.

The reflective sheeting will be necessary for better light penetration around the plants. There's a few to choose from either your standard black and white sheeting, Mylar or orca film all do a similar job it just depends what you want to spend really.

For pot sizes Id go for the 20l airpots for clones and 15L airpots if growing from seed

Blue, thanks mate, appreciate your advice

Ill look into the loft tents

I have heard of airpots been used quite often, need to give myself a kick up the arse to be honest and give them a go this time as ive heard good things

Thanks very much

Yeah give them a go mate there quite cheap to buy , the root development is far superior to your standard pots

Thanks mate,

Looking to get setup around the first week of Feb, so will get some bought over the next couple of weeks along with some reflective sheeting, and any other bits I need.
