Thanks

Has "he" taken into account how many watts are safe before the police start looking into his heat signature further?

when you say 5ft deep and 7ft tall, in terms or geometry, tall and deep mean the say thing.

i wouldnt listen to too much properganda on that situation my mate.....i have 3000w in my loft in 3 seperate tents, the last uk loft bust by the police using thermal heating equipment from the chopper was a 12000w grow, and also if you grew in a loft you would also be aware that we have our lights on in the daytime when it is almost impossible to detect, irealise your trying to help tho , peace!

yeah 2 x 600 would be fine , he would need to exhausts and 1 intake minimum i use my vegg room exhaust to warm up the flower room when lights are off , this is good advice for a loft grow , heaters are exspensive and dangerous in a loft vegg room lights are on 24hrs or at least 18 so use the heat , i have been loft growing for 5 years , need any more info feel free to ask =D

My point is paying caution to the winds. Are you aware of the attempted raid on a house because the copter picked up a hamster heater in the garage, was about a month ago. Not everyone knows to tell the cops to fuck off if they don't have a warrant, they can easily sound persuasive. I am fully aware of what they can actually detect, which is in reality a lot, but i am also aware of the legal walkabout that must be fulfilled before a warrant is possible.

i wasnt aware of the hamster situation lol no , and i was not barking at ya , just ive loft grown for so long now , i really believe lights on in the day is the key..... (anything over 1500w)....plus u sleep better at night , i also have an air con unit in my loft thats shoots ducting to a fan in each room, i have conviently 1 of these ducting pipes running through each flower tent =D
