So because of smell/limited space I am planning on moving my grow from a closet to the attic. I think I should be good tho, temps stay mid 80's and I have good ventilation so I can get fresh air in and out...Here is my question tho, how can I make like a little area and have it sectioned off for my plants. I dont have much money so I couldnt buy a grow tent but im thinking something similar. In all honesty is it even necesary for me to have something like this? I think it would be nice tho given the fact that the attic is a little dusty, i think it would protect the plants a little better. Any opinions would be appreciated..CHEERS
Help, moving to attic...need opinions/ideas for setup!!!

I would have some kind of tent considering the fiberglass insulation in attics, i would hate to see that shit all over my buds. And i am very sure you could make some kind of homemade tent out of a tarp, nails, staple gun, and a few 2by4's. And you might have to hook up propper electricity, and make sure its safe.

He has a good point, you need to learn about wiring and things like that to safely supply power to your tent

it's still in progress at the moment but maybe you could try something like this.

heres the deal , go to your panel box, open it up and hopefully you have space for a seperate circuit. say 20 amp breaker (make sure you get the right kind,look at the other breakers, siemens, br , cutler hammer) and run 12-2 romex to the attic into a nail on box - place a gfi outlet there put a trim covering on it and you set. and hook up a kill-o-watt plug in meter ( i got one for sale) and hook a timer/powerstrip into that . that will keep you safe from tripping breakers/fire hazard.
