Needing advice for small grow in attic

[Insomniac420]

Sup Icmag micro growers I need help designing
A small grow cab with the grow equipment I already have. But I only have 4ft 5ins headroom.
I have an adjustawing 315cmh & a 6in blazer air-cooled reflector. I was thinking if I did a scrog I can control the height a bit I also have
A 600watt ballast which is dimmable from
250watt /275/440/600/660. I don't no if the height will allow for the lights I have any advise
Welcome I also have a 6ins iso max for extraction thanks in advance

Do you have a problem with your basement? That is one hell of a signature (attic) if you are looking for stealth!

No I'm back no basement. I thought about grow room In attic pull fresh air into cab from room below And blow air into another room.
I thought air-cooled would not leave a heat sig

CMH is an HID lamp, with a decent amount of infra-red being produced. The infra-red passes through the glass and heats objects in the room. (like standing in the sunlight behind a window) So, you'll have heat generated in the cab as you grow.

You'll also have humidity in the outflow air, so be aware of how humidity can affect rooms over time. If the airflow through the cab is enough to keep temps in check, it shouldn't affect the attic much.

I'd suggest switching to LED if possible, for lower infra-red and a better fit for your height limits. Patience is great if you're unable, you'll most likely be doing this a long time and slowdowns happen. I've found it pays to take an extra minute, because I consistently end up running things longer than expected.
