Keeping plants in Loft

ispookie666

We do have a reasonably good amount of space in the loft(which is boarded). I have a few chilli plants and have grow lights (from my old marine fish tank). I'm considering leaving them in the loft and running a reverse lighting cycle work (Electric is cheaper at night). The loft is well-ventilated.  
Has anyone experimented?  

Will I need a grow tent?  

PS: I am not interested in growing other things, thank you.

Other folk seem to do quite well growing 'other things' so it's definitely possible, although they are most likely tapping into somebody else's electricity and have it running 24 hours a day. 

Whether it's wise or not is another matter. How easy is it to get into your loft and how often do you anticipate needing to water/harvest your chillis? What if you spill water up there and it comes through your ceiling.

I have scrapped the idea for this year. Will try overwintering to see how this goes.
