Attic setup would this work PLease check out

I was also thinking by putting an 8 in fan before my intake so when the AC wasn't running it would be sucking cooler air ( air from the house) 24-7, that combined with the attic fans should reduce the temps in the attic. What would be best to insulate with, I was thinking insulation on the outside of room.

Thanks for the comment "not very well thought out" real mature. Thats why I asked for feedback. I was thinking of adding a couple attic fans to help reduce the temps in the attic. I am novice to growing but definitely not making stuff used to be a carpenter and electrician.

Dude - I was not laughing at YOU - I was laughing at the idea - and I offhandedly blamed it on being stoned. So don't be so thin-skinned. It was meant in jest. A simple "Doh" on your part and we all would have laughed together and then got with ideas for your attic.

... But no one here is laughing at you and I apologize if I made it seem so.

No worries thanks

It has been my experience that a plant with a very well-developed root system that's given plenty of water will be the most heat-resistant. I have one plant (Nirvana Big Bud) in ten gallons of dirt right now, and even though the temperatures are often well over 100 degrees, she's shown no signs of stress. My guess is that she keeps cool the same way us people do: by sweating. :) And like us, she needs to drink a lot. Whenever two leaves are against each other, there's always lots of condensation between them, so I know that she's taking in all that water I dump in her pot.

This has only been my experience, although I've heard evidence from other growers that this is the case. It would still be important to have good ventilation so that all that water vapor goes somewhere.

What type of material would be the best insulatorl, I was thinking about 5/8 plywood and then 1/2 Sheetrock on the inside. then putting some sort of insulation on the outside. Or should I just use the plywood with Black and white plastic stapled to the plywood any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Personally, I would frame walls (build walls from 2x4's) and work from there. Then you could insulate the walls. So, going from inside of the growroom to outside you would have plywood, framed wall with insulation, drywall.

If you aren't a very good carpenter, use steel studs & track. You can fuck up with that stuff all day long and all you have to do is revese your drill motor to correct your mistakes.

Before you do any framing, decide what you want to do about a/c because you will probably need a hole for an a/c unit, or for a vent, built into the wall.
