New Grower New Stealth grow Attic

[Bilbo Byrne]

Hi Everyone, I am just planning my first ever grow. This is going to be a stealth grow. I have an attic space to work in its pretty tight height wise but should be able to get set up in there.

I have posted some photos below of the space I have to work with. The roof beams are quite low. There are two natural spaces where the beams are not so low and there is a little bit more height to work with.

I have labelled these two potential areas in the photos Space 1 and space 2. Space one is not very high. Just 93cm! but plenty of depth and length. Space 2 is higher 100cm but not very deep 45cm! If anyone has any advice as to which space might be best that would be appreciated. Is is better to have more height to work with or depth?

Hey and Welcome!!!
I think I just saw one of these!
Those tight spaces can certainly complicate things, but can also make a nice little grow spot. With limited height I would want as much room to spread out as possible. There are lots of short varieties and with methods of training like LST and SCROG you should, with care, be able to keep you canopy low. Also need to take into account the size of container and the lighting. I think a nice slim t5 unit would work well. I am not sure but I think I have seen grows in tubs so the roots can have room, but more in the horizontal plane. Please verify this though.
Well those are my thoughts as to what I would explore if I had this space.
Peace and happy growing! Here's a little boost of :karma Cloud: to help your planning!

Yes, LED or T5 should work well in either of those spaces. I am more particular to area 1 myself just because of the accessibility it has. Regardless, either of those spaces will work great! With a little LST you should get some very nice yields up there! Best of luck and good grow karma to you Bilbo.
