Any inconsistancy in lighting schedules, isn't good for plants, and prolonged dark periods(the weekend) will make them stretch a lot, at the very least.
Might be doable, though. They won't be working 24 hours a day. Can you schedule a "lights on" period for nights. On after they leave, off before they return?

You can do what hick said. Or If you just cover up the fans real good that should stop any light from filtering into the the attaic. Not just throw something on top, but cover it up with something real thick and tight. Cover it up from both sides.

I don't know how many plants you are growing plus the smell that is being produced from the plants. If it is a lot then I would make sure those fans are covered very well if the smell is strong.

i have 6 plants in there they do a quite a strong smell i could swith the lighting time will this affect the plants at all???, i was gonna cover it and just leave them running but im worried that this will cause the fans to do nothing but just spin and blow and suk no air

dont let them in the attic, get up there and run them wires yourself. or maybe schedule the install after your harvest. i know if i were wiring your attic, i wouldnt have to see a light. the smell is all you need to tell what your doing.

i wouldnt chance strangers in my attic.
