I was thinkin about setting up in the attic. with my 250w HPS and some surrounding CFL's. It gets very hot i mean really hot. maybe around 90+ since its summer. I have 2 computer fans but i dont think that'll be enough. i'll get more fans though if needed. Im only growing 3 plants under my 250w hps though. Also i was thinkin about growing some Purp. and from what i know and read purp grows in really cool evironments and finishes darker purple the more cooler, what i wanted to know was with it being in the attic hot n all, would it b possible to grow some purp?

sure the purp thing would be possible and the buds can still come out a good dark purple? would a couple of fans be ok? like some oscillating fans?

you would have to have an AC unit up there. 90 degree air is still 90 degrees even if a fan is moving it

Dude you better have 1 big ass air conditioner up there!
I made a NICE room in my attic, took me and my buddy 2 weeks to setup.
Got 1 nice summer day and bam 120+ without air conditioner with one it was around 100.
I moved it out of the attic in a week ;(
Trust me its a bitch to control the heatup there.

i am growing in the attic now. i its easier to control the heat inside your box if you have good circulation and the exhaust pulls air straight out of the roof outlet fan. i have not had any problems with the heat but then again it IS december now. its stayed around 70 inside my box day and night with the fans on during the day and off at nite.
