Default Attic grow water/heat
Will be setting up new space... An attic grow with the opening of the attic at about 2.5 FT X 2.5 to bring everything up through. The temp during the day as it is summer is about 105-110 with no fans at all, humidity around 45-50%. I plan on fully ventilated to full capabilities, but heres the question mainly... the space is roughly 3x8 ft with a head room of 6 ft rough measurements as I am 6'5'' and I can stand straight up. i plan to set everything up and take apart and assemble up there before i haul it up but my trouble is a water supply as i dont want to cut into any pipes up there but i was thinking of checkin pH and adding nutrients before hand in purified water jugs and hauling those up into the 25 gallon resevoir. the heat problem im not to worried bout its the drip system im going to have up there and i want to be very sure it doesnt flood or anything like that... whats the best for not letting flooding happen? what are ur ideas on this water situation and the best way to get juice to my plants? light and other heat with be directed out through the roof holes mainly.

no. swamp coolers put way to much humidity in the air. if you cant cool it down useing an A/C to about 80 dont grow there.

Default Resevoyeurs
Could you store the resevoir elsewhere? Somewhere cool and easy to fill/change... you might need a bigger pump, but for a drip system it's easy to keep pressure up.

I'm having a little trouble picturing this space your talking about. You access it through a 2.5 by2.5 panel, and when you get there you can stand up but its only 3' wide? Is this a very high pitched roof, like maybe 12/12 or is this a full 2 story house with a 6/12 pitch?
In any case, attic grows will be pains especially if you are hauling up and down through a trap door. You would be wise to install plumbing in the attic. There is a way this can easily be done, install an RO system. The one I have attaches to any garden hose connection and should not be connected to softened water. You would need to run it to a drain as well, it puts out a 5/1 ratio of waste to usable ro water. The drain line is 1/4 felxible. You could dump it into a tub or shower anywhere below. This would be the least of the problems anyway as you have stated, maybe, heat will be an issue, cold will be in the winter. The way you control heat and cold is with insultation and ventilation. If you don't have room to build walls that you can insulate this is not a good idea. Maybe some pictures would help. VV
